A pro-Hamas activist who spoke at Columbia despite being banned in Germany for supporting terror is a communist from New Jersey who openly supports the October 7 massacre of Israelis.

Charlotte Kates, a major figure in the pro-Palestine movement in colleges for over two decades, has been a constant presence at anti-Israel encampment at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver.

The New Jersey native is the international coordinator of Samidoun Prisoners Solidarity Network, a group with ties to the PFLP that is listed in Israel as a terror group and banned in Germany as such.

Kates, a lawyer, was seen on Friday in Vancouver praising the terrorist attack by Hamas, which left 1,700 Israelis dead and sparked the war in Gaza, where 30,000 Palestinians have reportedly been killed.

'We say today, long live October 7!' Kates yelled outside the Vancouver Art Gallery, calling the attack a show of 'beautiful, brave and heroic resistance of the Palestinian people.'

'We stand with the Palestinian resistance and their heroic and brave action on October 7,' she said. 'Long live October 7.'

Kates went on defending terror groups, adding: 'It is long past time to delist Palestinian and Lebanese resistance organizations from Canada’s so-called list of terrorist entities.

'Hamas is not a terrorist organization. Islamic Jihad is not a terrorist organization. The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine is not a terrorist organization. Hezbollah is not a terrorist organization.'

She continued: 'These are resistance fighters. These are our heroes. These are those who are sacrificing so that we can live and speak and struggle and fight. These are the people whose blood is being shed to defend humanity and to defend the world.'

Her husband Khaled Barakat is an alleged senior member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP)...

“”Waste of skin.””

It appears from the pictures of her, there’s a lot of SKIN there...yes, it’s wasted. Can you imagine living a life full of that kind of hate and apparently making a living off it?

Your Democrat relatives and acquaintances will tell you how appalled they are at this. And then they will go into the voting booth and vote for the people that are helping it happen, some of whom even encouraged it.

I have a couple of libtard-in-laws. I quit talking to them about a year ago. I didn’t say anything I just don’t have anything to do with them. People who believe in this shit are disgusting
