(National Post) After Samidoun was roundly condemned for chanting “death to Canada” at a Vancouver rally celebrating the one-year anniversary of the October 7 terrorist attacks, the anti-Israel group has doubled down on the slogan, saying it’s an accurate representation of what it intends to do.
“We acknowledge that the community was shocked by the phrase, and the burning of the Canadian flag that came after the march was concluded. Yet, we at Samidoun stand by this phrase as the call to action that it is,” wrote the group in a lengthy statement posted to Instagram.
Samidoun’s official Instagram account was delisted in June for violating the site’s rules against promoting terrorism. As such, the statement was posted to Thawra Vancouver, an account consisting entirely of Samidoun-affiliated statements and livestreams.
