B’nai Brith Canada Urges Universities to Cancel Speaker Who Praised Oct. 7 Attacks


B'nai Brith Canada urges universities to cancel speaker who honored October 7 attacks

February 7, 2024



TORONTO – B’nai Brith has written to several universities across Canada to urge them to cancel events featuring a speaker who publicly endorsed Hamas’ Oct. 7 terrorist attacks on Israel.



Sami Hamdi, a British political commentator, was invited by the Canadian Muslim Political Affairs Council (CMPAC) to be the keynote speaker for the organization’s “Palestine Solidarity and Advocacy” campus tour across the country. Hamdi is scheduled to speak this week at Western University, Carleton University, the University of Toronto Mississauga Campus, and McGill University.



Hamdi is not an accredited academic, and in remarks at a London, U.K., mosque on Oct. 18, 2023, the pundit openly celebrated Hamas’ Oct. 7 terrorist attacks. Among other things, he urged listeners to “celebrate the victory” of the mass slaughter during which terrorists killed about 1,200 innocent persons, raped women and girls, and abducted hundreds of civilians to Gaza. He also spoke of feeling a sense of “euphoria” after learning about the attacks.



“Anyone who celebrates and is elated by the idea of terrorists butchering civilians and raping women and girls should not be permitted to influence our students,” said Richard Robertson, B’nai Brith Canada’s Director of Research and Advocacy. “We cannot imagine his appearances producing anything of academic value, and based on his past statements, there is the danger that his remarks will contribute to the incitement of hatred against Jewish students.



“Such views cannot be condoned in the name of academic freedom. In the interest of student safety and wellbeing, we are urging these universities to intervene and cancel his appearance.”

I agree and hope you succeed in getting this dudes speaking tour of CND universities cancelled.

Sad that Selina Robinson had to resign after she and 3 other elected officials had publicly supported your organization but as the BC Minister Of Education her comments on Gaza are supposed to be that of a university trained English speaker not a yahoo on a loading dock. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-bc-premier-decries-vandalism-of-constituency-office-belonging-to/ She remains a well paid member of the Legislature. Hope the ppl that vandalized her constituency office are punished by law but the damage while annoying is minor. https://twitter.com/Exposeisrael123/status/1754904212637716957 A group calling itself Canadian Intifada posted a video and took credit.

https://globalnews.ca/news/10028532/surrey-rabbi-home-eggs-swastika/ This guy who vandalized a Jewish building in Surrey still has not been caught despite a clear photo.

Hope Hamas frees the remaining hostages. Glad Bibi is promising to fight for total victory in Gaza he stated that again today. Hope the nations move their embassies to Jerusalem. The Tory party leader riding high in the polls is more pro Israel than any other party leader in Canada and he calls for the IRG to be banned (Trudeau says he will consider it) and Qatar to be investigated for its role with Hamas are excellent policy.

Richmond Public Library | Board Members (yourlibrary.ca) The Richmond Library has 9 board members but 4 do not want their photos shown.

Sherine Merhi
Vice-Chair
Appointed to the Library Board in 2021, Sherine holds a BS in Landscape Design and Eco-Management enabling her to maintain an ecological perspective on issues affecting our world. A resident of Richmond since 2011, Sherine has served in various volunteer positions in the city and the community at large. She is currently serving as the director of social services at the BC Muslim Association – Richmond Branch and is the Vice Chairperson of the Parent Advisory Committee. She believes libraries have a significant influence on community life and can be an essential tool in connecting people to each other and to important resources. Sherine is a passionate advocate for the continuous pursuit of knowledge and healthy integration of newcomers to Canada.

Yet when you go to the BC Muslim website The BCMA Richmond Branch she is listed as a secretary. This Sunni group has all its male leadership listed on the top of the page the inferior women like Sheri on the bottom. Legalize polygamy. The Koran and Bible clearly state that homosexual sex is a death penalty crime and that polygamy is allowed.

The BCMA Richmond Branch A Mr. Ali is the director of social services so why is a liar Sherine Mehi a resume liar a library trustee?

Parent Advisory Council – BC Muslim School They don't list the members of the Parental Advisory Committee but they list all sorts of staff and administration and teachers by name and email.

Have a mazel tov day.

B'nai Brith is a terrorist organization dedicated to spreading

needs to be heard by as wide an audience as possible, including every

Following the Nazi seizure of power in January 1933, another national election was held on 5 March. This was the last competitive election before World War II, although it was neither free nor fair. Violence and intimidation by the Sturmabteilung, Schutzstaffel and Der Stahlhelm had been underway for months against trade-unionists, communists, social democrats, and even centre-right Catholics.[2] On 27 February, just prior to the election, the Reichstag Fire Decree suspended freedom of the press and most civil liberties. Mass arrests followed, including all Communist and several Social Democrat delegates to the Reichstag. 50000 members of the Hilfspolizei (auxiliary Nazi police) "monitored" polling places on election day to further intimidate voters.[3] While the Nazi Party performed better than it had in the elections of November 1932, it still won only 33% of the vote. By placing their rivals in jail and intimidating others not to take their seats, the Nazis went from a plurality to the majority. Just two weeks after the election, the Enabling Act of 1933 effectively gave Hitler dictatorial power. Three more elections were held in Nazi Germany before the war. They all took the form of a one-question referendum, asking voters to approve a predetermined list of candidates composed exclusively of Nazis and nominally independent "guests" of the party.

Of the 185 people indicted in the subsequent Nuremberg trials, 12 defendants received death sentences, 8 others were given life in prison and an additional 77 people received prison terms of varying lengths, according to the USHMM. Authorities later reduced a number of the sentences.

Senator Follows Up on Urgent Security Concerns About Terrorist Leader in Canada

Senator Leo Housakas (CBC)
May 3, 2022

OTTAWA – The question of why the Government hasn’t yet deported a high-ranking terrorist living in Canada hit a high level Tuesday, when a Senator publicly posed a question about it.

Leo Housakos used his time in the Senate Question Period to ask the Government about the Khaled Barakat scandal, exposed by acclaimed columnist Terry Glavin in last week’s National Post editions. B’nai Brith Canada has been alerting officials about Barakat for more than two years but has had no response.

Tuesday, Senator Housakos received no concrete answers from the Government.

Barakat is a senior member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), a designated terrorist entity in Canada. As the Senator noted, Barakat has been allowed to thrive in Canada despite being barred from the United States and Germany. His legal status in Canada remains undisclosed by the Government.

The PFLP’s proxy in Canada is the Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network, a group with which Barakat is closely associated. For more than two years, B’nai Brith Canada has been gathering intelligence, and urging the Government and all relevant law-enforcement agencies to act against Barakat and to dissolve Samidoun.

“We have provided the Government with credible and convincing information, yet we have had no response,” said Michael Mostyn, Chief Executive Officer of B’nai Brith Canada. “The recent National Post story has made the situation even more critical and more alarming.

“The Government needs to act immediately and deport Khaled Barakat. Samidoun also needs to be decertified as a corporation immediately, and it should never have been certified in the first place.

“We’re glad that Senator (Marc) Gold acknowledged today that Government is aware of this national security concern, but Canadians are still waiting for a substantive response.”

Mostyn said B’nai Brith applauds Senator Housakos for raising this important security risk in the Senate. “Our own attempts to urge the Government to take action have fallen on deaf ears, sadly, despite its claims to be fighting antisemitism and terrorism.”

The PFLP carries out assassinations, airplane hijacking, and public massacres in pursuit of its goal of destroying Israel – the sole Jewish state. While in Canada, Barakat has published articles in which he calls for acts of international terrorism by the PFLP, targeting Israeli and “Zionist” targets beyond the Middle East.

Canada Must Deport Senior PFLP Operative

Khaled Barakat (centre-right) speaks at a PFLP event beneath a PFLP flag , Jewish Press

April 29, 2022

Canada’s dirty secret is finally out. For more than two years, the Government of Canada has allowed a senior member of an antisemitic terror group to roam freely, contrary to Canadian law.

Yesterday, acclaimed journalist Terry Glavin exposed the Khaled Barakat scandal in the National Post. B’nai Brith encourages every Canadian to click here and share this article with friends and family.

Khaled Barakat is believed to have become a Canadian resident in the early 2000s, after being deported from the United States. He then resided in Europe for a number of years, directing the affairs of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), a designated terrorist entity, from Berlin. By late 2019, the German Government had enough and expelled him as well, following which he returned to Canada. He has since split his time between Vancouver and Montreal.

For two years, B’nai Brith Canada has been gathering intelligence, and urging the Government and all relevant law enforcement agencies to act against Barakat.

There can be no doubt about Barakat’s senior role in the PFLP terror group. Arabic-language media have repeatedly described him as a member of its Central Committee, which runs the organization while its Secretary-General, Ahmad Sa’adat, serves a 30-year sentence for ordering terrorist attacks. While in Canada, Barakat has published articles in which he calls for acts of international terrorism by the PFLP, targeting Israeli and “Zionist” targets beyond the Middle East.

It is strictly forbidden for members of terrorist groups to enter Canada or obtain Canadian citizenship. Despite repeated requests, Ottawa has not provided B’nai Brith with any explanation for its failure to act against Barakat.

“We have given the Government every chance to do the right thing, but we can no longer stay silent,” said Michael Mostyn, Chief Executive Officer of B’nai Brith Canada. “The Government’s reckless disregard of this matter severely undermines its claim to be committed to the fight against antisemitism.”

In recent years, the PFLP has massacred six people – including a Canadian – at a Jerusalem synagogue, fired rockets at Israeli civilians from the Gaza Strip, and murdered a young woman with an improvised explosive device.

In the coming days and weeks, B’nai Brith will continue to expose Canada’s abysmal record of welcoming PFLP-linked figures and organizations into the country. We will not allow Ottawa to ignore its own laws and endanger our community.

Terry Glavin: Is Khaled Barakat part of a terrorist group or a victim of Israeli intimidation?
Israeli intelligence is not alone in situating Barakat, who resides in Vancouver, in the upper echelons of the PFLP’s chain of command

Author of the article:Terry Glavin
Publishing date:Apr 28, 2022 • 50 minutes ago • 8 minute read • 104 Comments
Over the last two weeks, Post columnist Terry Glavin made several attempts to speak with Khaled Barakat (shown in a photo that appears on the Samidoun website) but was informed on Monday that he 'is unavailable for discussions'.

He’s a high-ranking member of a Palestinian terrorist organization best known for dramatic airplane hijackings, suicide bombings and a 2014 massacre at a Jerusalem synagogue that left several worshippers severely injured and five dead, including Toronto-born rabbi Howie Rothman. That’s how Israeli intelligence agencies describe 51-year-old Khaled Barakat, who has lived in Canada off and on for nearly 20 years and currently resides in Vancouver.

It’s not how Barakat’s supporters describe the man. Barakat’s associates say he is a Palestinian rights activist and a freelance writer who is being victimized by an Israeli campaign to intimidate human-rights organizations. I’ve made several attempts to speak with Barakat over the past two weeks. On Monday, an intermediary finally informed me that Barakat wanted me to know that “he is unavailable for discussions” with me.

For several years, the Israeli security service Shin Bet has been unequivocal: Barakat is an active and senior member of the Peoples Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a listed terrorist organization in North America, the European Union, Japan and Australia. Canada listed the PFLP in the renewal of Canada’s national security laws following the Al Qaida terror attacks of September 11, 2001, the same year a PFLP assassin murdered Israeli cabinet minister Rehavam Zeevi.

And yet there Barakat was, only last week in Vancouver, presenting himself for an interview with the Khomeinist English-language propaganda channel, Press TV.

Israeli intelligence agencies are not alone in situating Barakat in the upper echelons of the PFLP’s chain of command. He is described in several Palestinian news websites as either a “leader of the PFLP” or a member of the PFLP’s governing central committee. Israeli intelligence agencies say they have intercepted PFLP documents that also identify him as a key operative in the organization.

All this has been made known to Canadian intelligence agencies, law-enforcement authorities and senior federal politicians.

Still, for years now, Barakat has been appearing at rallies and meetings across Canada. He’s travelled to and from Europe several times as well.

Barakat’s lawyers are currently engaged in a court battle in Germany, seeking to overturn a four-year ban on entry imposed on him two years ago after he was detained in Berlin in 2019, and later deported, owing specifically to what the German Interior Ministry called Barakat’s proclivity for violent, antisemitic rhetoric. An association of lawyers opposing Germany’s actions in the case says there is “no evidence that Khaled Barakat is an official of the PFLP,” and that Barakat denies it.

In December, 2015, Barakat was in Brussels, Belgium, for demonstrations to mark the anniversary of Israel’s Operation Cast Lead, a particularly bloody episode in the on-again, off-again war between Israel and Hamas, the terrorist organization that controls the Gaza Strip. Barakat attended the Brussels events in his capacity as the coordinator for the Campaign to Free Ahmad Sa’adat, the PFLP secretary-general currently serving a 30-year jail term in Israel arising from his 2008 conviction on a variety of terrorism offences.

In June, 2016, Barakat was in Bulgaria to attend the funeral of Omar Nayef Zayed, whose mysterious death in the Palestinian embassy in the Bulgarian capital of Sofia continues to invite speculation that implicates either or both the Palestinian Authority and Mossad, Israel’s national intelligence agency.

Just last October, Barakat travelled to Madrid to help organize the “Palestinian Alternative Revolutionary Path Movement” conference, bringing together militants devoted to a rejection of the Palestinian Authority’s cooperation with Israel and the “resistance by any means necessary” standpoint counselled by the PFLP.

Established as an armed Marxist-Leninist movement in 1967, the PFLP’s hard-line opposition to accommodation with Israel has left the organization on the outer fringes of Palestinian militancy ever since the Palestinian Liberation Organization signed the Oslo Accords in 1993. The PFLP’s main financial and political backers nowadays are Bashar Assad’s regime in Damascus, Khomeinist Iran and Lebanon’s Hezbollah.

Barakat is intimately associated with an organization called the Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network, an organization Israeli intelligence agencies call a PFLP “proxy” that functions as the terror group’s overseas recruitment, fundraising and propaganda arm. And here’s where you’d think things get especially awkward for Barakat and Samidoun, and Canada, too.

On February 28 last year, Israeli Defence Minister Benjamin Gantz signed an order designating Samidoun a terrorist organization. In announcing the order, Israel’s National Bureau for Counter-Terror Financing stated that Barakat is central to Samidoun’s operations: “Representatives of the organization are active in many countries in Europe and North America, led by Khaled Barakat, who is part of the leadership of PFLP abroad. Barakat is involved with establishing militant cells and motivating terrorist activity in Judea & Samaria [the West Bank] and abroad.”

Three days later, on March 3, 2021, the Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network was formally registered by the federal Corporations Canada agency under the Canada Not-for-Profit Corporations Act. Samidoun’s address was listed as a post box on Commercial Drive, in East Vancouver.

By then, the Israeli foreign ministry and Jewish advocacy groups in Canada were losing their patience. B’nai Brith has developed a thick file of correspondence going back to January 2020, warning several cabinet ministers (most of whom have since been shuffled to other portfolios) of its view that it appears as though the PFLP has “inexplicably been allowed to set up shop in this country.”

Early last year, Israel proposed a briefing under the information-sharing terms of the 2014 Canada-Israel strategic partnership agreement, to discuss the situation. The April meeting brought together more than 50 Israeli and Canadian officials, including representatives from the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, the RCMP and the Canadian Border Services Agency.

Israeli ambassador Ronen Hoffman told me he had “the utmost trust in the Canadian authorities” and that Israeli-Canadian cooperation on countering terrorism is being handled by professionals. But it’s not as though the ambassador is content with Samidoun’s ability to secure Canada’s formal recognition as a genuine non-profit corporation in this country.

“It’s highly alarming that modern terror organizations, in their tactics of concealment and disguise, have methodically adopted pseudonyms from the world of human rights and civil society organizations to hide behind.”

B’nai Brith chief executive officer Michael Mostyn is not so reticent. His organization’s most recent effort was a January 12 letter sent directly to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, declaring that Ottawa’s inattention was “inexcusable.” Mostyn says Samidoun’s registry should be revoked and the organization should be dissolved.

Last month, Samidoun’s partner organization in France, the Collectif Palestine Vaincra (CPV), was disbanded by a decree signed by French President Emmanuel Macron. The group’s dissolution was authorized under sections of the French security law banning groups that provoke discrimination, hatred or violence based on ethnicity, nationality, race, or religion and engage in acts that incite terrorism.

Israeli authorities say Shin Bet obtained PFLP documents during a raid of the PFLP’s offices in Ramallah in 2019 that suggest the PFLP expects its association with Samidoun to be more or less clandestine. According to those documents, the connections in Canada are so close that that Barakat was reprimanded by his PFLP comrades for insufficiently distancing the PFLP from Samidoun.

In its filings with Corporations Canada, Samidoun listed three directors: Thomas Gerhard Hofland of Amstelveen, the Netherlands, Joe Catron, of Flushing, New York, and Charlotte Lynne Kates, of Vancouver. Kates is Barakat’s wife.

The Israeli Ministry of Strategic Affairs and Public Diplomacy says Kates is Samidoun’s “international coordinator,” and Barakat’s political activism is functionally indistinguishable from Samidoun’s campaigns on behalf of PFLP prisoners. Barakat’s “Campaign to Free Ahmad Sa’adat,” for instance, appears for all intents and purposes a Samidoun campaign. Barakat and Kates travel together in Europe, and Kates gives speeches at the same events that Barakat gives speeches.

Barakat’s residency status in Canada is unclear. An online Arab news site that interviewed him in November 2020 reported that Barakat was born in the village of Dahiyat al-Barid on the outskirts of Jerusalem in 1971, and went on to live in several Arab and European countries, and later the United States, until his residency permit was revoked and he was deported in 2003. Around that time, Barakat started showing up in Vancouver “radical” circles. The No One Is Illegal organization lists Barakat as a founding member, and Barakat was showing up as a Palestinian student activist at the University of British Columbia in 2004.

Kates’ status is similarly unclear. An American citizen, Kates had already become something of a celebrity radical in New Jersey when she was a teenager. She was involved in a dramatic schism among Palestinian activists at Rutgers University, where she completed a law degree before showing up in Vancouver about a decade ago.

Shimon Fogel, president and chief executive officer of the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs, said the situation is untenable. “The links between the PFLP, a listed terrorist entity in Canada, and Samidoun, are clear. We are deeply troubled that the founder and leader of Samidoun, Khaled Barakat, and his wife Charlotte Kates are able to lead Samidoun from Canada with apparent impunity,” Fogel told me. “This should be shocking to all Canadians.”

Two weeks ago when I first tried to reach Barakat through Samidoun’s email address, what I got was an anonymous response: “Khaled Barakat is not a member of Samidoun, although he is someone for whom we have a great amount of respect.” The email directed me to Samidoun’s statements in support of Barakat’s legal case in Germany, and statements to the effect that the organization would not be intimidated by Israel’s designation of Samidoun as a terrorist organization.

“Israel’s ongoing attacks on Palestinian advocacy and human rights organizations, including Samidoun, have unfortunately become routine. We see this not only in the case of Samidoun but also in the case of the six large NGOs similarly designated only months later. This is a transparent attempt to suppress advocacy for Palestinian rights that holds Israel accountable internationally.”

This is a reference to the Israeli government’s controversial decision to outlaw several non-governmental organizations last year on the grounds that they were being manipulated by Palestinian terrorist groups, and charitable funds were being diverted to outlawed organizations. The designations were loudly protested by Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch – but Samidoun’s terrorist listing was unrelated to those cases.

I sent two further requests, specifically asking to speak with Kates. Several days passed, then this: “Khaled Barakat is not a member of Samidoun, as previously noted.” Shortly after reaching out to Barakat by Facebook messenger I got another anonymous response from Samidoun’s email account: “We are familiar with your previous work that seeks to smear and attack Palestine advocacy in Canada, as well as the fact that you have been honoured and lauded for ‘exposing BDS,'” referring to international campaigns of boycott, divestment and sanctions aimed at Israel. The answer again was a clear ‘no.’

Meanwhile, Jewish community leaders were shocked at the antisemitic slogans and calls for violence that were cheered during an anti-Israel rally at Dundas Square in Toronto on Monday. “This hate rally is particularly troubling given that later this week, Jewish communities around the world will pause to mark Yom HaShoah,” said CIJA national board chair Gail Adelson-Marcovitz, referring to Holocaust memoriam. “We are equally alarmed by the apparent involvement of terror-tied organizations, like Samidoun.”

“Germany’s action in this case is similar to its 2020 expulsion of Khaled Barakat, a senior member of the terrorist-designated Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP),” said Marvin Rotrand, National Director of B’nai Brith’s League for Human Rights. “Yet, inexplicably, Barakat has been residing for two years now in Canada with no one reacting to the threat he represents here in our country. Will other terrorist supporters like Mousavifar also find a home in Canada?”

"Our efforts to have Barakat deported from Canada have fallen on deaf ears, despite his expulsion from both Germany and the United States," said Michael Mostyn, B'nai Brith's Chief Executive Officer. "While Germany has taken decisive action to remove security threats like Barakat and Mousavifar, Barakat continues to fly under the radar of Canadian authorities, despite his leadership role in the PFLP."

Earlier this year the Hamburg Shura Council, which represents more than 40 mosques and other Islamic institutions in Hamburg region, removed Mousavifar's Islamic Centre of Hamburg from its Board of Directors, linking it to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC).

He has no right to be in this country you lying stupid foreigner. Also if those places accept tax payer dollars they must follow certain protocols. Hamdi should have the invitations cancelled.
Yes the pathetic old feeb has a longing to make a FB friend the lying racist and nazi. The guy uses pics on his FB of other ppl without permission and for some reason the rich Jew Mark Zuckerberg who runs it does not call his account.

Following B’nai Brith’s successful advocacy, two prominent Canadian universities cancelled events featuring Sami Hamdi who openly celebrated Hamas’ atrocities during the terror group’s Oct. 7 attacks on Israel.

Last week, B’nai Brith sent letters to several Canadian universities who had authorized events featuring Hamdi, a British political commentator who denied allegations that Hamas terrorists committed sexual violence against Israeli women on Oct. 7.

Thank you to Concordia University and Carleton University for doing what’s right.

Shamefully, the University of Toronto (Mississauga) and Western University ignored our concerns and permitted Hamdi to speak.
