Terrorism, not activism: A closer look at Samidoun
Contrary to their peaceful facade, Samidoun works to promote the BDS movement against Israel and stirs up anti-Israel sentiment through protests, rallies and events, including among students.
(April 21, 2021 / JNS) In February 2021, Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz officially designated the Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network as a terrorist organization for its ties to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), itself considered a terrorist organization in the United States, the European Union, Israel and Canada. According to the Israeli National Bureau for Counter Terror Financing, this organization “plays a leading and significant role in the PFLP’s anti-Israel propaganda efforts, fundraising and recruiting activists.”
Ahmad Sa’adat has been imprisoned since 2002, the year after he was elected General Secretary of the PFLP. Together with progressives and antiimperialists around the world, Samidoun Gothenburg and Stockholm are participating in the international week of action in demand of his freedom. During the week actions, leaflet handouts, demonstrations and hunger strikes are organized in Palestine, the Netherlands, France, Ireland, the USA and Sweden, to name a few.
