It’s Friday, the weekly day for the “nonviolent” protest that the ISM pretends is its motif.
The International Solidarity Movement (ISM) is a Palestinian-led movement committed to resisting the Israeli occupation of Palestinian land using nonviolent, direct-action methods and principles.
So these “non-violent” methods, what do they entail?
On Friday, dozens of demonstrators tried to cross the barbed wire section of the barrier that is built through a Palestinian-owned olive orchard.
So these “non-violent” methods, does anyone get hurt?
A soldier was lightly injured in the demonstration, the army said.
How about anyone from the “non-violent” side?
Three women from the U.S., Sweden and Germany were lightly hurt Friday in a protest against Israel’s separation barrier with the West Bank when Israel Defense Forces soldiers fired steel-coated rubber bullets and tear gas, witnesses said.
[…] An American woman was injured when she was hit in the head with a tear gas canister, said a Bilin resident, Mohammed Khatib.
Say, does this “non-violent” violence happen often?
Hundreds of Arab and Israeli left-wing demonstrators gathered near the West Bank town of Bil’in on Friday to protest the construction of the security fence passing nearby.
The demonstration quickly turned violent when the protestors threw stones at security forces and tried to sabotage the fence and the equipment used to erect it.
One officer was lightly wounded by stones thrown at him. He received medical treatment at the scene.
What’s that you say? The weekly “non-violent” violence is a weekly occurrence, with Israeli police officers often getting hurt?
No. Say it isn’t so. Next thing you’ll tell me is that a “massacre” never happened in Jenin.
I think I shall make a little promise. If I should ever meet an ISM member who tells me that she protested the security fence in Bei’ilin, I will nonviolently protest her right in the face. Just to make sure she understand what nonviolence really means.
Finish the fence and put an end to those violent anarchists. Anyone trying to destroy the fence should be treated as an enemy and shot on sight. The fence saves lives. Also what’s with the Pals and their olive trees? It seems as if every Pal owns dozens of olive trees.
Seems that you have members of the ISM in your backyard:
Stop the ISM activists
There is a link to a post on stoptheism.com which reports:
When are Americans going to understand that a proper and verifiable identity system has become a necessity in the 21st century?
It just shows how abysmal border security is, not just for illegals entering but for those leaving to perform illegal acts.
When the ISM people volunteer themselves as human shields to protect a woman under threat of an “honor-killing,” I’ll think much better of them.
Of course, that will be when the residents of Hell learn ice-skating.
You cynics. I believe they hold these rallies on Friday is because other days they’re showing their even-handedness by acting as human shields on Israeli school buses.
I believe that. Of course, I also believe in the Tooth Fairy. So, Meryl, if you come across ISM people, just ask them if they’be be willing to spend one day…one hour…on an Israeli bus just to show they’re against violence.
I won’t be holding my breath.
