Stop the ISM activists

ISM support group gathering in Massachusetts

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 “human shields” against Israeli attempts to counter violence and terrorism from Palestinians.

In 2003, Lee Kaplan began writing exposes on the ISM and started an organization called Stop the ISM. You can read startling accounts by Lee Kaplan and the Stop the ISM team of why they believe the ISM is dangerous on Stop the ISM’s website.
