Samidoun has officially been designated a terrorist group in the U.S. and Canada.

Since the October 7 Hamas terror attacks, Samidoun has emerged as a major organizer of anti-Israel protests and events in Canada and around the world. It has been targeted by other national governments. Despite calls from Jewish advocacy groups and the Conservative party to do so, Canada did not sanction the group until Tuesday. The announcement was made around a week after a Canadian flag was burned at a Samidoun event marking the one-year anniversary of October 7 that also featured chants of “Death to Canada.”
