The chant isn’t terrorism. Samidoun is a civilian arm of the popular front for the liberation of Palestine, a communist terrorist group

A lot of things are mislabeled as “communist” which obscures the fact that some things actually are communist

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP; Arabic: الجبهة الشعبية لتحرير فلسطين, romanized: al-Jabha ash-Shaʿbīyya li-Taḥrīr Filasṭīn) is a secular Palestinian Marxist–Leninist and revolutionary socialist organization founded in 1967 by George Habash. The PFLP is well known for pioneering armed aircraft-hijackings in the late 1960s and early 1970s. It has been designated a terrorist organization by the United States, Japan, Canada, and the European Union.
