(Jerusalem Post) The United States and Canada banned the terrorist front group Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network in October 2024, but the organization has continued to operate freely in these countries through a network of agents, shell organizations, and newly created proxy groups.
The Samidoun proxies in Canada and the US — most of them formed after the October 15 simultaneous terrorism proscription — emulate Samidoun rhetoric about Palestinian prisoners and Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) figures while holding inexplicably sudden and tight bonds with one another. Most importantly, they all profess to have the same anti-Zionist, anti-American, Marxist-Leninist mission that defined Samidoun’s activism.
How Samidoun was developed
Samidoun was developed in 2011, according to its own website, out of a hunger strike led by PFLP secretary-general Ahmad Sa’adat, whose release has been a focus of Samidoun activism since its inception.
