While both the Canadian and U.S. designation emphasize financing of terrorism, there is no indication that fundraising constitutes a significant part of Samidoun's work.

Other than a “donate now” tab on the organization's website, the content is overwhelmingly concerned with coverage of Palestinian prisoners' issues, political protests against the ongoing genocide in Gaza, and profiles of prominent Palestinian and Arab resistance leaders.

Just shows how biased these people are and how meaningless their "terrorist" labels actually are.

Yes, they're biased against terrorists.

Samidoun is very closely linked to PFLP, which is a terrorist organization. They literally invented the airline hijacking.

So where's the proof? If the Canadian government is going to make this kind of claim, they should cite their evidence. You don't expect a guilty verdict without seeing the reasoning behind it.
