The Masar Badil, the Palestinian Alternative Revolutionary Path Movement, strongly condemns the fascist and racist campaign led by Dallas Brodie, leader of the Canadian OneBC Party, against the comrade and activist Charlotte Kates, coordinator of the Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network. Brodie’s announcement of a “private prosecution” against Kates under the pretext of “praising the October 7 operation” is nothing but a desperate and failed attempt to score cheap political gains at the expense of the blood of our Palestinian people and the suffering of our heroic prisoners in the occupation’s jails.
We affirm that Brodie and her ilk are fascist forces that are nothing more than cheap tools in the hands of the Zionist lobby and the organizations supporting the occupation, which seek to silence every free voice exposing the genocide perpetrated by the Zionist enemy in Gaza, the West Bank, Jerusalem, and all of occupied Palestine, and which stand with the struggle of the Palestinian people and its heroic resistance. This attempt will meet the same fate as its predecessors: failure and disappointment once again.
The targeting of comrade Charlotte Kates is nothing but a continuation of the dirty Zionist war waged against popular movements and international solidarity movements with Palestine, in a desperate attempt to demonize the Palestinian resistance and muzzle voices. Yet these paid campaigns will not succeed. On the contrary, they will only strengthen the determination of the revolutionary movement to expose the Zionist entity and its backers, and to bolster the internationalist struggle for the liberation of Palestine from the river to the sea.
Masar Badil calls upon all of its organizations and supporters around the world, and all allied and friendly forces internationally, to stand in solidarity with the struggles of the Indigenous peoples on Turtle Island and across the continent, and to respond broadly to the call of the Palestinian resistance by escalating the level of confrontation against the war of genocide in Gaza, and by engaging in active solidarity with the prisoners in the jails of the Zionist enemy.
As Masar Badil extends its greetings to comrade Charlotte Kates and her comrades in the Samidoun Network, it affirms that all of these desperate attempts will not stop the rising tide of popular mobilization across the world, nor will they deter the free people of the world from demanding an end to the arming of the criminal entity, the accountability of the enemy for its crimes against humanity, and the continuation of the struggle until the Zionist project is defeated and our people’s goals of liberation and return are achieved.
