Samidoun, a Vancouver-based anti-Israel organization, has been designated as a terror group in both Canada and the United States.

“The listing of Samidoun as a terrorist entity under the Criminal Code sends a strong message that Canada will not tolerate this type of activity, and will do everything in its power to counter the ongoing threat to Canada’s national security and all people in Canada,” said Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc in a press release.
