Quote from WAEL012000:
ratboy, the ISM is hated because it dared documenting all of the following;
No, here is why the ISM is hated:
The International Solidarity Movement(also known as the Palestine Solidarity Movement in the United States) is a decentralized network of activist organizations, some of which are 501 (c) (3) tax exempt, set up to aid the PLO in its goals to destroy Israel while also financially aiding American anarchist and communist groups to expand their power base for âworld revolution.â It is similar to a multi-headed Hydra in which the heads are the individual organizations and the ISM/PSM is the body that connects them. Itâs mission is to provide the âsoft-sideâ (seemingly nonviolent) support to Palestinian terrorism and aggression against Israel by sending activists to interfere with Israeli security operations and also by spreading propaganda abroad. It uses many the US college campus network to achieve these goals.
Originally, the goal was to put international college students in front of Palestinian terrorists as cover, to hinder anti-terrorism tactics of the Israel Defense Forces, and to drain Israelâs resources any way possible while claiming they are just âpeace activists.â Their goal has always been to dismantle Israel and carry out the propaganda campaign of Arafatâs PLO. The current goal is to convince anyone and everyone, but mainly the next generation of college students and leaders that Israel is an apartheid state like South Africa was (at the same time the Arabs promote anti-Semitism and insist no Jews can live in Palestine). âRacismâ is to be used as red herring for naive recruits as the ISM practices the PLO policy of trying to annihilate the Jewish minority in the Middle East to set up another Arab Muslim dictatorship to rule over them.

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."
