Charlotte Kates, International Coordinator of Samidoun, following U.S. and Canada Terror Designation: They Want People to Fear Supporting the "Resistance": October 7 Showed Defeat of Israel Possible; Capturing Israeli Soldiers and “Settlers” Key to Freeing Palestinian Prisoners
In an October 27, 2024 Sunday Morning Marxist Forum video call, hosted by the Oakland, California Institute for the Critical Social Studies, Charlotte Kates, International Coordinator of Samidoun, addressed the U.S. and Canada’s designation of Samidoun as a terrorist entity.
She explained that Samidoun views the Palestinian resistance as critical in achieving the liberation of Palestinian prisoners, specifically through the tactic of capturing Israeli soldiers and "settlers" to facilitate prisoner exchanges.
Kates also highlighted that the October 7 "Al-Aqsa Flood" demonstrated the potential for the military defeat of the "Zionist regime."
