STOP THE "LITTLE NAZIS"

DEATH TO THE ISM | 12.09.2003 13:44

When newspapers make obscene comparisons between Israeli victims of suicide bombers, and fanatic hate-mongers of ISM who got themselves killed trying to protect terrorists, it's time to speak up. When Jewish synagogues host members of ISM, it's time to speak up. The following is the true face of this terrorist support group whose members are little Nazis, and who deserve whatever befalls them in their attempt to help get innocent civilians in Israel murdered. Whatever they think of themselves, they are anti-human rights, and so are all those idiots who support them.

MYTH

“The International Solidarity Movement (ISM) is a non-violent human rights
organization that opposes terrorism and supports a two-state solution.”

FACT


The International Solidarity Movement (ISM) has harbored known terrorists and
openly advocated violence and the destruction of Israel . ISM spokesman Raphael
Cohen was asked at a May 2003 press conference to define “occupation.” His
response: “The Zionist presence in Palestine.” When asked to express his view of
peace, he answered, “a one state solution,” by which he meant the creation of a
Palestinian state in place of Israel .

On ISM's web site, the Internet directory is called “traveltopalestine.” Their
site also located Ben Gurion Airport in “Palestine.” It includes an information
packet for volunteers that features a country guide to “Palestine.” The guide
lists the landmass of “Palestine” as “26,323 km2 = 10,162 miles2” – the size of
the entire State of Israel, plus the West Bank and Gaza . The country guide
describes the geographic boundaries of “Palestine” as extending from Jordan to
the Mediterranean Sea, and from Lebanon to Aqaba; that is, again incorporating
all of Israel.

The ISM does not hide its incitement to violence. Its web site states that it
recognizes “the Palestinian right to resist Israeli violence and occupation via
legitimate armed struggle.” Cohen admits that, on April 25, 2003, he hosted a
group of 15 people at his apartment. Included in that group were Asif Mohammad
Hanif and Omar Khan Sharif, British nationals. They subsequently participated in
various activities planned by the ISM. Five days later, the two carried out a
suicide bombing in a popular pub next to the American Embassy in Tel Aviv that
is frequented by Embassy personnel. Hanif and Sharif entered Israel under the
guise of “peace activists” and “alternative tourism” – perhaps a reference to
the ISM-precursor “Alternative Tourist Group.” 28 ISM denies responsibility for
the actions of the British bombers

On March 27, 2003, ISM was caught harboring Islamic Jihad terrorist Shadi
Sukiya. He was arrested by the IDF in ISM's office, where a handgun was also
found, after two foreign ISM activists, including American Susan Barclay, helped
Sukiya hide. Ms. Barclay tried to bar IDF soldiers from entering ISM offices,
knowing that Sukia was there.

In addition, ISM activist Rachel Corrie protected a house utilized for arms
smuggling for terror groups. Group members are also reported to provide
information on Israeli troop movements to armed Palestinian factions. ISM's web
site also links to several web sites devoted to freeing Fatah terrorist Marwan
Barghouti . Its web site also has displayed pictures of Palestinian children
throwing stones at an IDF vehicle.

The ISM web site instructs its volunteers on how to avoid Israeli security
checks. For example, its members are told to lie about their affiliation with
ISM and their intention to visit the territories. ISM also acknowledges its
members stay in contact with local activists, which includes leaders of
terrorist organizations such as Hamas, Fatah and Islamic Jihad , which it
considers “resistance groups.”

While the International Solidarity Movement claims to be a humanitarian
organization dedicated to the principles of nonviolent resistance, it has
demonstrated no interest in peace for Israelis. At a minimum, ISM has acted as
an apologist for terrorism and, at times, actively abetted militants. ISM is a
pro-Palestinian organization, set up by Palestinians, funded by Palestinians,
and opposed to the two-state solution envisioned by the parties truly interested
in peace.
