International Solidarity Movement, Rutgers and the Murder of Jews In an article in today's Jordan Times, William Thomson calls for Palestinians to adopt non-violent resistance as a strategy, writing that "Palestinians have wide experience in nonviolent strategy and tactics" such as "the International Solidarity Movement, organised and led by Palestinians." At least Thomson is honest in stating that the ISM is organized and led by Palestinians, in contrast to claims by people within the terrorist group that claim ISM to be a neutral group that supports neither Israel or Palestinians. While ISM has expressed support for non-violence as a tactic, it also supports the use of violence. The website of its New Jersey chapter, for example, states that "we are opposed to the existence of the apartheid colonial settler state of Israel, as it is based on the racist ideology of Zionism and is an expression of colonialism and imperialism, and we stand for the total liberation of all of historic Palestine... We unconditionally support Palestinians' human right to resist occupation and oppression by any means necessary." ISM is apparently more PR conscious than its New Jersey chapter, as it attempts to hint that it is merely against "the occupation," thereby fooling honest observers to believe it to be a peace movement. Shockingly and disgracefully, Rutgers University is hosting the Third National Conference of the Palestine Solidarity Movement at its New Brunswick campus, from October 10-12. Presumably, Rutgers, a state university, would not host a conference calling for the violent overthrow of the United States, or of the destruction of any other country. Sadly, however, calling for the mass murder of Jews and the liquidation of Israel is deemed to be a legitimate political position. | "
