"ISM aims to support and strengthen the Palestinian popular resistance by providing the Palestinian people with two resources, international solidarity and an international voice with which to nonviolently resist an overwhelming military occupation force."
Words alone won't work, only popular direct action - steadfast, redoubtable, international, and strengthened by growing numbers worldwide in a nonviolent struggle for "freedom, self-determination and human rights," demanding the major media report it accurately, spreading the word on their own, and offering hope to a beleaguered, long-suffering people.
"The belief that non-violent direct action can successfully challenge (Israel's) apartheid is a cornerstone of our philosophy and message - we see, we hear and we are with you," committed to liberation, peace and self-determination, asking others to join them.
The Palestine Solidarity Movement (PSM) is ISM's student arm, "an umbrella group of Palestine-related groups, primarily on campuses, across North America." Its aims include support for boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS), Palestinian self-determination, the Right of Return, and ending US aid to Israel, most for its military to wage war on the region and Palestine, funded with US taxpayer dollars.
Dark Forces Against ISM and PSM
Stop the ISM.com is one, a pro-Israeli front group, calling them terrorists like the PLO under Arafat, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), Hamas, and others like them - resistance groups struggling for liberation, not bogusly labeled terrorists.
The group calls Huwaida Arraf and Adam Shapiro "two of the most disgusting human beings who would condone murder while claiming they are 'peace activists.' "
Accusing them of "wish(ing) to see Israel destroyed," it labels Shapiro a product of his "dyed-in-the-wool Stalinist parents....raised on a steady diet of Israel hatred at home."
