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.

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.

Seems that you have members of the ISM in your backyard: Stop the ISM activists

It looks like an innocent social gathering in Massachusetts, but this particular social gathering is of a support group associated with the International Solidarity Movement (ISM), an organization that sends volunteers into Israel and the West Bank to act as â€œhuman shieldsâ€ against Israeli attempts to counter violence and terrorism from Palestinians.

There is a link to a post on stoptheism.com which reports:

ISM activists sometimes get new passports by changing their names and thus trying to change their identities,

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.

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.
