Vile Islamist Agitation in Canada Unchecked

"I mean I am a Canadian citizen. I just don't think it's anyone's business."

"I spoke about the brave, heroic October 7 operation and the legitimacy of the Palestinian resistance, and why I want to get the resistance organizations off the so-called terror list."

"We stand with the Palestinian resistance and their heroic and brave action on October 7."

"Long Live October 7th!"

"The only security threat facing the world today is the Zionist genocide being carried out in Palestine against the Palestinian people that has slaughtered at least 40,000 Palestinians and that the Canadian government continues to support and that the United States continues to arm."

Charlotte Kates, coordinator, Samidoun Palestinian Solidarity Network

A video on social media shows Kates addressing a 'Pro-Palestinian' crowd in front of the Vancouver Art Gallery; the October 7 bloodbath was 'heroic' and 'brave'.

This woman, born in the United States, but having become a Canadian citizen, spouts her incendiary slander of the state of Israel and pernicious Jewish plans to rule the world that 'must be stopped', co-founded, along with her husband Palestinian-born Canadian terrorism supporter Khaled Barakat. Barakat once was contracted by the federal Heritage arm of the government to tutor civil servants on issues of human rights, until it was revealed that he was a flaming antisemite, regularly posting inflammatory hate speech against Jews and Israel.

They both had lived in Germany before coming to Canada after living in the United States for several years. German authorities, aware of their inflammatory antisemitism, deported Barakat, for his "political activities". They both have been named by B'nai Brith Canada in a petition calling for their deportation. Barakat spoke of the "racist, right-wing fascist group" attempting to have him escorted out of Canada as allies of the Israeli diplomatic mission in Ottawa, speaking for Zionist organizations.

"This woman gets on a plane and travels to Iran to receive a Human Rights Award that has been granted to some of the worst of [the] worst people within Iran, one of the worst torturers and violators of human rights."

"She herself is now tied into terrorism, but her words are incredibly dangerous and they're threatening to the Jewish community."

"...Canada has a radicalization problem that we're not clearly speaking about."

Ariella Kimmel, vice-president, strategic communications and development, Winston Wilmont

The Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network is closely associated with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, recognized by Canada as a terrorist entity. The group is responsible, among other Palestinian groups and sympathizers in Canada, for organizing and funding anti-Israel protests that have roiled Canada since October 7.  

 

Despite this background and the destabilizing effect of the Samidoun group's activities, not only canonizing Hamas and its bloody savagery in Israel, but being recognized by the Islamic Republic of Iran for her outstanding Islamist convictions, it has been given charitable status in Canada.

Kates has been up front and public in her praise of the Hamas 'uprising' against the 'imperialist' West, exemplified by the position Israel has in the Middle East, a Democratic Liberal outlier, and a Jewish state in a geographic area dedicated to Islam and governed by theocracies, dictatorships, monarchies and sheikhdoms. She recently flew to Tehran where she received recognition as an Islamist stalwart and agitator, awarded an Islamic Human Rights Award for "anti-Zionist activities".

Shortly afterward she was a guest on Iranian TV, wearing a hijab and blaming "Zionist organizations and political officials" for her arrest following her appearance at the Vancouver Art Gallery in April, praising the October 7 massacre where 1,200 Israelis were murdered, girls and women gang-raped and tortured, their bodies excruciatingly mutilated before death, Kibbutz families burned alive in their homes, in a sadistic melee of chaotic savagery, that Kates celebrated, sneering at the "lie of so-called western democracy and concern for human rights".

"Hamas is not a terrorist organization. Islamic Jihad is not a terrorist organization. The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine is not a terrorist organization. Hezbollah is not a terrorist organization.These are resistance fighters. These are our heroes." Having stated which, it is beyond abhorrent that the government of Canada sees fit to allow this woman and her husband to continue roiling Canadian society with their outright lying slanders, even to the point of recognizing their group as a legitimate Canada-based charity.

Samidoun operates virtual seminars advocating violence perpetrated on Israel and Jews anywhere, it organizes antisemitic rallies, disseminates Hamas propaganda, and trains students in their occupation of universities. That the Islamic Republic of Iran pulls the puppet-strings of its associates, and Qatar is heavily involved in financing groups such as Samidoun has been revealed by intelligence investigations.
