(Canadian Jewish News) The director of Vancouver-based Samidoun — which is listed as a terrorist entity by Canada and the United States — travelled to Beirut last month to attend the funeral of Hassan Nasrallah.
While this may have provoked outrage in some quarters, her visit does not seem to have provoked any legal consequences.
Charlotte Kates attended the Feb. 23 memorial for the Hezbollah leader assassinated in September during an Israeli airstrike in Beirut in September, posting on social media: “It is such an honour to be in here in Beirut today, one among a sea of over a million people in collective tribute, mourning, love and commitment to the road of resistance and liberation exemplified by Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and Sayyed Hisham Safieddine.” Safieddine, set to take control over Hezbollah, was killed a week following Nasrallah.
