We call it the Israel Solidarity Movement (ISM for short) <br /> <br />Please note: The JDL has been deliberatly excluded from our coalition because of serious concerns regarding their tactics and their refusal to abide by our basic rules of decency.Dustyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06824185664523568683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1642698876306856672.post-31835587250799176962010-02-07T18:15:56.506-08:002010-02-07T18:15:56.506-08:00Mazullah- I went to Al Awda a few years ago and fo...Mazullah- I went to Al Awda a few years ago and found it appalling- I'm a queer Arab, and the session I went to on feminism actually said the rise of female suicide bombers showed how progressive Islam was becoming. Honor killings were dismissed as "crimes of passion"- fuck that- they are first degree murder!<br />Al Awda is only appropriate for right wing partriachial MEN- I advise all progressive thinkers men and women alike to keep away from this travesty.Fatimahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14440284278736820250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1642698876306856672.post-70839503178348067412010-02-07T16:58:45.054-08:002010-02-07T16:58:45.054-08:00yes, people, come and document the event- but be c...yes, people, come and document the event- but be careful, you may learn something. if you're bigotry isnt stronger than ignorance (starting with the term 'semite') then this is the place for you- anyhow, we could use the publicity. we need your help.<br />ma'asalama...mazullah...https://www.blogger.com/profile/04890398859066487823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1642698876306856672.post-32024789554817858822010-02-07T13:52:30.556-08:002010-02-07T13:52:30.556-08:00Your work, we assume?

ISM is known for its extensive documentation of Israeli military and settler violence. These arrests happened just days after two journalists were arrested while documenting a military invasion in Bilin village outside Ramallah, adding to the lengthening list of Palestinian and International media who have been targeted and arrested while documenting and publishing information related to the struggle for a free Palestine.<br /><br />At three in the morning, the Israeli army forcefully entered an apartment in the Area A city of Ramallah and arrested two activists from the International Solidarity Movement (ISM) on suspicion of overstaying their visas. The two, Ariadna Jove Marti, a Spanish journalist, and Bridgette Chappell, an Australian student in the Beir Zeit university, were then taken to the Ofer military prison located inside the Occupied Territories, where they were handed over to the Israeli immigration police unit “Oz”.<br /><br />According to Ryan Olander, an American solidarity activist who was at the scene during the raid, around ten soldiers forcefully entered the apartment and demanded to see the passports of everyone who was present and informed the two of their detention on the grounds of overstayed visas. The soldiers confiscated cameras, a computer, pro-Palestinian banners and ISM volunteers’ registration forms.<br /><br />Israeli attempts to deport foreigners involved with Palestinian solidarity work are part of a recent campaign to end Palestinian grassroots demonstrations, which involves mass arrests of Palestinian protesters and organizers. Over the last ten months, the “Oz” immigration unit illegally arrested and attempted to deport four other international activists.<br /><br />Eva Nováková, a Czech national and former ISM media coordinator, was arrested in Ramallah on January 11th, 2010, and deported the next day, before the deportation could be appealed. Nováková’s lawyer is currently in the process of preparing an appeal to the Israeli High Court to challenge the legality of her arrest.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1642698876306856672.post-89052741646741148262010-02-07T13:48:30.291-08:002010-02-07T13:48:30.291-08:00You know the bad guys are quaking in their bots wh...You know the bad guys are quaking in their bots when they start with teh spamming....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1642698876306856672.post-89466261383629461512010-02-07T12:02:44.293-08:002010-02-07T12:02:44.293-08:00Hadassah?
