Samidoun, which has organized dozens of anti-Israel protests since Hamas’s October attacks, is a subsidiary of the Alliance for Global Justice, records show. German interior minister Nancy Faeser condemned their "anti-Semitic, inhuman worldview" in an Oct. 12 statement announcing a nationwide ban on the organization. Israel in 2021 designated Samidoun a terrorist group and alleged it was an arm of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a Syria-based terrorist group.
Samidoun is a fiscal sponsorship of the Alliance for Global Justice, meaning there is no legal distinction between the two entities. Such arrangements are common on the left: The Adalah Justice Project, one of Hamas’s most vocal American defenders, is a fiscal sponsorship of the Tides Center, the Washington Free Beacon reported.
