Oslo peace talks and launched the second intifada. Its organizers were Ghassan Andoni, a physics professor from Bir Zeit University in the West Bank, and Palestinian activists George Rishmawi and George Qassis. The idea was to bring in international volunteers, mostly radical students from the United States, Canada and Europe, as "nonviolent peace activists" who would interfere with the Israeli army's anti-terrorist operations. If the volunteers were injured or arrested, the international repercussions would be detrimental to Israel, a propaganda win for the PLO. The operation costs the Palestine Authority very little since many of the radical volunteers pay their own transportation costs and live in the homes of Palestinians during their stays in the Middle East.

theres ample evidance of ISM alliances with communist anarchist groups, such a sthe the INTERNATIONAL SOCIALIST ORGANIZATION wich advocated the overthrow of the us governoment.
google ism plus comcast for a history of the ism, how sad you claim to not know something about the ism when you are either a usefull idiot for this umbrella group or writing to decieve people.
for an accurate history of the ism also google lee kaplan plus ISM front page magazine and read articles in the archive about the ISM.

The ISM began a campaign of trying to aid PLO terrorist groups and eliciting support abroad by claiming they are a "peace group." Privately, their message was always different: support revolution and act as human shields for terrorist groups opposed to the existence of Israel. In the US, the ISM developed a presence in almost every major city usually working in conjunction with campus Palestinian groups supported by the Muslim Students Association.
many volunteers all began exposing the ISM for what it really is: a terrorist protection movement bent on first the destruction of Israel and then the United States and a propaganda arm of terrorist groups on US college campuses.

(Few people know that an Al Aksa Martyrs Brigade terrorist earns $50,000 a year in salary in the PA. That's an enormous salary in a country where $800 in a month is considered a good income. The ISM cries about how poor the Palestinian Arabs are, and urges funding Hamas. It's time to understand the ISM is supported as part of the PLO ripoff network).
PA salaries were reported at $2,552 million for the three years and UNWRA salaries in the West bank and Gaza run at about $600 million for three years - that means that every one of these employees is at the minimum tax rate AND not a single other person or company in the whole Palestinian Authority earned a single shekel of taxable income. Not bad considering some of the
fancy houses, cell phones, shopping malls and other attractions one sees in photos of downtown Ramallah and Gaza.

"This was led by global Freemasonry, which was founded by three prominent Jews, the first of whom was Herod. This is a long well-known story - the role of the Jews in creating the Masonic movement....The Freemason movement used various methods to bring the political, philosophical, and literary leaders worldwide to their knees. I remember the names of Arab leaders who joined the Masonic movement. They were brought down. There were even Palestinians among them." (Lie #3)

"There are also theories that were invented by non-Jews, but they disseminate them, knowing that they are scientifically false, such as the theory of Darwin. Darwin was not Jewish, but they exploited his theory. Even though new Darwinist theories have appeared, they spread the original theory, because the concept of 'survival of the fittest' serves their colonialist needs." (Lie #2)

Lies from Hamas

The following 6 posts are excerpts from an interview with Saleh Riqab, Hamas deputy minister of religious endowment, which aired on Al-Aqsa TV on May 14, 2008:

Saleh Riqab: "The goal of the Zionist movement is to establish a state in Palestine, which would become a base for ruling the entire world. Its other goals are to destroy the religions it opposes, particularly Islam; to corrupt values and morality; to spread permissiveness and sex; and to generate moral decline." (Lie #1)

(2) Recruitment of American college students as "human shields"

· ISM director George Rishmawi says it is useful to recruit American college students for the purpose of getting them hurt or killed in confrontations with Israeli security forces.

· PSM spokesperson Nadeem Muaddi posted an essay calling for Christians to offer themselves as "martyrs" for the Palestinian cause. The context of his essay suggests that he means human shields.

(3) Promotion of religious intolerance and homophobic and sexist violence. ISM/PSM is an agent for the Palestinian governmental entities that:

· Treat Christians as dhimmis (second-class citizens).

· Sanction and condone domestic violence, including so-called "honor killings" of women.

· Imprison, torture, and kill gays because of their sexual orientation.

Advocacy and facilitation of terrorism

· ISM/PSM is on record as advocating terroristic violence.

o A University of Michigan PSM organizer, Fadi Kiblawi, wrote that he "wants to strap a bomb to [his] chest and kill."

o New Jersey Solidarity leader Charlotte Kates defines Israeli children as "legitimate targets."

o ISM/PSM founders Adam Shapiro and Huwaida Arraf say that the Palestinian "resistance" must include violent methods for which Israeli civilians are legitimate targets.

· ISM/PSM activists have provided "safe house" assistance to terrorists in Israel.

· A member of Al-Awda (Right of Return), an ISM/PSM affiliate, allegedly posted a solicitation for a "martyr" to bomb the Hadassah Hospital in Israel, where Ariel Sharon is being treated for a stroke.

· At the 2nd PSM Conference at the University of Michigan in October 2002, the attendees chanted "Ittbach al yahood" = "Kill the Jews."
