This weekend, the “Popular Palestinian Conference 2008” will be held in Chicago, and if past is prologue, a slew of anti-Israel propaganda will be part of the repertoire. The organizers make no effort to conceal their nefarious intentions, titling one of the workshops [emphasis added], “Inserting Palestine into High School Curricula in the US & Empowering Students to Challenge Dominant Narratives” and subtitling the conference, “Palestinians in the US: Reclaiming Our Voice, Asserting Our Narrative.” Unfortunately, this “narrative” is a false one in which Israel is the oppressor, the Palestinians its perpetual victims, and the United States an accomplice in crime.

Various Middle East studies academics will be on hand to help propagate this fictitious narrative. UC Berkeley lecturer Hatem Bazian, a skilled propagandist for Palestinian victimhood in the classroom and a radical activist outside it (he called for an “Intifada in this country!” at a 2004 anti-war rally in San Francisco), will be speaking on a panel titled, “Palestinian Political Prisoners in the US: The Attack on Palestinian Activists and Scholars.” Bazian has long perpetuated the idea that off-campus criticism of Middle East studies is a form of persecution. To state the obvious: there are no “Palestinian political prisoners” in the U.S., only criminals convicted through the justice system of aiding and abetting terrorist organizations.

One of them, former University of South Florida computer science professor Sami Al-Arian, who pled guilty in 2006 to conspiring to provide goods and services to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad and who awaits an August 13 trial for criminal contempt, will be represented on the panel by his daughter, Laila Al-Arian. Al-Arian has enjoyed unstinting support from the Middle East studies establishment, particularly founding director of Georgetown University’s Prince Alwaleed bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding, John Esposito. Unmoved by the murder of innocent civilians by Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Esposito penned a letter last month to the presiding judge urging that Al-Arian be granted bond and describing him as “a man of conscience with a strong commitment to peace and social justice.” Al-Arian’s radicalism is nothing new: at a 1991 commemoration of the Palestinian Intifada featuring Islamic Jihad spiritual leader Abdel-Aziz Odeh, he called Jews “apes and pigs.”

Wayne State University anthropologist Thomas Abowd will moderate the “political prisoners” panel. This is fitting, for Abowd fashions himself the victim of what his supporters call “right-wing Zionist elements on campus.” But Abowd is hardly impartial. He is affiliated with the radical group Anti-Racist Action (ARA-WSU), whose members have accused Israel of “ethnic cleansing” and pro-Israel groups at Wayne State of practicing “white supremacist politics,” along with defending the use of a swastika to equate Israel with Nazi Germany at one of their rallies.

Abowd spoke at “Palestine Awareness Week,” an anti-Israel event at the University of Michigan in February 2008. Several students who attended Abowd’s lecture described in a Michigan Daily op-ed his hostile and dismissive attitude towards a student who dared ask a challenging question. Abowd, as they put it, “smirked and glared” and “used scare tactics to intimidate and to alienate the student and to negate the importance of his question.”

The conference ends with the panel, “One-State Solution to the Palestinian-Israeli Conflict.” The so-called one state solution is really just a fig-leaf for the destruction of Israel. There’s no evidence that the Palestinian political leadership has any inclination towards the sort of multi-religious, multi-ethnic democratic nation envisioned by “one-state solution” proponents. The pathological hatred towards Jews, persecution of Christians, advocacy of Sharia law, indoctrination of children, and violence among rival Palestinian clans and terrorist groups all demonstrate the danger to Israel that lies down this path.

Yet some scholars advocate the “one-state solution” in spite of these glaring obstacles. Jennifer Loewenstein, associate director of the Middle East studies program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, will be one of the conference panelists doing just that. In a March 2008 article for the rabidly anti-Israel, far-left publication Counterpunch with the ridiculous title, “Gazan Holocaust,” Loewenstein asserts that “Israel and its U.S. Master have long since resided in the lowest circle of Hell for betraying the name of humanity.” No word from Loewenstein on the betrayals of humanity by the Palestinians, both towards Israelis and each other.

Another panelist, Tomis Kapitan, chair and professor in the Department of Philosophy at Northern Illinois University, displays a similar blind spot. In a 2004 paper on the Arab-Israeli conflict, Kapitan waxes philosophically about the “reciprocal” nature of Arab terrorism, calls the suggestion that “cultural or religious beliefs” motivate suicide bombings “incredible,” and concludes that “the maximalists in charge of Israeli policy and their supporters in the United States and elsewhere, are chiefly to blame for the ongoing cycle of violence.”

Panelist Seif Da’Na, professor of sociology and international studies at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside, takes a Marxist, populist approach. In a 2001 Media Monitors Network article, Da’Na calls for a “Palestinian liberation strategy” and urges activists to view the “Palestinian struggle against Israel…in the larger context of the struggle to bring human dignity and social justice to the world.” Surely “human dignity” and “social justice” would first need to be established within before serving as some sort of shining beacon to the world, but Da’Na overlooks this minor matter.

So too do conference organizers, who, as part of pushing their “narrative,” bemoan the 60^th anniversary of “al Nakba,” the Arabic word for “catastrophe” used to describe the creation of the modern state of Israel in 1948. But the “60 Years of Catastrophe” trumpeted at the conference website would more appropriately be placed upon the heads of Palestinian and regional Arab leadership. They have perpetuated a constant state of victimhood and refugee status while fomenting chaos and violence. Palestinians are the second largest per capita recipients of foreign aid in the world, yet precious few resources have been dedicated to the building of a functioning civil society. In fact, rising levels of violence can be directly correlated to rising levels of aid. The current civil war between Fatah and Hamas and the resultant human rights abuses are just the latest examples.

If the Palestinians in the U.S. that conference organizers profess to represent, and Middle East studies academics sympathetic to their cause, truly wanted to effect a just resolution to the Arab-Israeli conflict, they would start looking within for answers. Instead, such conferences simply peddle propaganda intended to demonize Israel. Those seeking the truth would do well to steer clear.

U.S. Neutrality Act Violated by Gaza Boat Organizers Shurat HaDin Warns California AG

Nitsana Darshan-Leitner 917.519.9340



Sacramento: In an urgent letter dispatched to The Hon. Edmond G. Brown, Attorney General of the State of California, Shurat HaDin director Nitsana Darshan-Leitner warns the AG that the International Solidarity Movement (ISM), and others, have conspired to violate the U.S. Neutrality Act, 18 U.S.C. § 960, within the boundaries of his state.

Attorney Darshan-Leitner writes in her letter that the organizers of the "Gaza Boat" program have violated the Neutrality Act by illegally raising money in California to bankroll two boats which they plan to sail into Gaza on August 5. The boats are reportedly leaving Piraeus, Greece with ISM members on board on August 1. Based on prior experience, serious concerns
that the boats will be carrying weapons, explosives and contraband have been raised by security experts.

The U.S. Neutrality Act that is codified in section 960 of title 18 of the U.S. Code, stating:

"Whoever, within the United States, knowingly begins or sets on foot or provides or prepares a means for or furnishes the money for, or takes part in, any military or naval expedition or enterprise to be carried on from thence against the territory or dominion of any foreign prince or state, or of any colony, district, or people with whom the United States is at peace, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both."

According to the project website as archived by Google on July 24, 2008 - The Carter Center of former US President Jimmy Carter and the Archbishop Desmond Tutu have both endorsed the project ( www.imra.org.il/story.php3?id=40027 ). According to news reports, the Carter Center was also involved in the funding of the project.

Shurat HaDin's letter charges that the organizers have openly solicited support for the hostile expedition against a friendly nation in violation of the U.S. Neutrality Act and urges the attorney general of California and the Federal Bureau of Investigations to launch a full inquiry into the funding of the flotilla and to prosecute all those involved to the full extent of the law should the allegation prove true.

The folllowing is the text of  Shurat HaDin's Letter to Attorney General Brown:
==================
Attorney General Edmund G. Brown
Office of Attorney General
California Department of Justice
P.O. Box 944255 Sacramento, CA 94244-2550
Via Fax:

Dear Attorney General Brown,

Re:        Conspiracy to Violate the U.S. Neutrality Act, 18 U.S.C. § 960

Dear Attorney General

I  am writing to bring to your attention to a serious matter regarding what might be an ongoing conspiracy to
violate the U.S. Neutrality Act, 18 U.S.C. § 960, and an attempt to aid & abet the Palestinian terrorist organization
Hamas which is occurring within your jurisdiction with the support and under the direction of an organization known as "The Free Gaza Movement," located at 405 Vista Heights Road, El Cerrito, California 94530.

The Palestinian terrorist organization Hamas is currently designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization by the U.
S. government.  In June 2007, Hamas ousted Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah party from the Gaza Strip and subsequently took power where it has engaged in a relentless campaign to obtain weapons and explosives and to terrorize both Israelis and moderate Palestinians.  As a result of constant rocket attacks from Gaza on Israel's coastal cities, on September 19, 2007 the Israeli government declared that "Hamas is a terrorist organization that has taken control of the Gaza Strip and turned it into hostile territory."   Similarly, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice affirmed "Hamas is indeed a hostile entity. It's a hostile entity to the United States as well."

In an effort to prevent Hamas from obtaining any additional military equipment and to impose economic pressure
on the Hamas leadership in Gaza, the Israeli Security Cabinet imposed a series of sanctions on the Gaza Strip
including a coastal blockade that is being implemented by the Israeli navy. The naval blockade is particularly
important in light of previous attempts by the Iranian government to transfer weapons to Palestinian militants at
sea such as occurred in January 2002 when the Israeli navy seized the "Karine A" ship that was loaded with 50
tons of Iranian supplied weaponry.

There are several provisions within the agreements signed by Israel and the Palestinian Authority that grant Israel the right to implement a naval blockade on the Gaza Strip. Specifically, the September 28, 1995 Israeli-Palestinian Interim Agreement on the West Bank and the Gaza Strip that was signed in Washington D.C. states in Article XIV that Israel has "the responsibility for defense against external threats, including . for defense against external threats from the sea and from the air."   Moreover, in Article XIV of the Interim Agreement titled "Security along the Coastline to the Sea of Gaza" Israel and the Palestinian Authority agreed that foreign vessels would" not approach closer than 12 nautical miles from the coast" unless specifically authorized pursuant to jointly agreed regulations and that in the absence of such conditions all foreign vessels would be required to dock at Israeli approved ports.   (Because there are no international ports open to foreign vessels in Gaza at this time, it is currently illegal for foreign vessels to attempt to dock in Gaza without explicit Israeli authorization.)  Finally, in a letter to Prime Minister Sharon on April 14, 2004 shortly before Israel's withdrawal from the Gaza Strip President
Bush confirmed " [t]he United States understands that after Israel withdraws from Gaza and/or parts of the West
Bank, and pending agreements on other arrangements, existing arrangements regarding control of airspace,
territorial waters, and land passages of the West Bank and Gaza will continue."

       Nevertheless, despite the clear unequivocal policy of the United States to support Israel's right to control the
security of the territorial waters around Gaza and to isolate Hamas from external support, the extremist Free
Gaza Movement is attempting to undermine the foreign policy of both the United States and Israel by raising
money to violate the Interim Agreement regarding foreign vessels and to undermine Israel's sovereign authority.

On The Free Gaza Movement website located at www.freegaza.org requests are being made to finance a "Break
the Siege ship" that is tentatively set to sail in August 2008  (See also http://freegaza.org/pages/joinIn.
html#aboard).  According to information on its website the ship "will sail directly to Gaza without going through
Israeli territory and without seeking permission from Israeli authorities." However, because Israel has exclusive
security authority over foreign vessels that are attempting to dock in Gaza, The Free Gaza Movement is openly soliciting support in this country for a hostile expedition against a friendly nation in violation of the U.S. NeutralityAct that is codified in section 960 of title 18 of the U.S. Code.  This law states:

Whoever, within the United States, knowingly begins or sets on foot or provides or prepares a means for or
furnishes the money for, or takes part in, any military or naval expedition or enterprise to be carried on from
thence against the territory or dominion of any foreign prince or state, or of any colony, district, or people with
whom the United States is at peace, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.

       As such, the actions of The Free Gaza Movement are nothing short of an attempt to violate the laws of State
of Israel and to engage in conduct that has the effect of undermining the national security of a U.S. ally.
Consequently, I respectfully request that your office take all necessary and appropriate actions to uphold the
laws of the United States, to investigate those that are organizing and funding this illegal effort and to enjoin any
unlawful activity on the part of The Free Gaza Movement.

Thank you,

Do your part to put Paul LaRudee in jail for assisting terrorists! Stop the ISM! If you want peace in the Middle East, that will help do it. Stop Hamas!

                                          FLASH!!!!

Paul LaRudee of Norcal ISM, deported from Israel due to our efforts in 2006 is now trying to get a flotilla together of as many ISM creeps as possible in order to enter Gaza by sea against the Israeli Navy in order to open up the shipping lanes for the importation of more weapons to kill Israelis by Hamas. The scheduled date for setting sail is August 5th from Cyprus.

Riad Hamad, in the story below, the head of Palestine Childrens Welfare Fund was found murdered in Texas on July 14th. Hamad, who appointed LaRudee his fundraising chairman for this flotilla as probably killed by Hamas for attracting to much attention for the FBI over money laundering for Hamas. LaRudee, whose pathology against Israel is a complete mental illness, has been running around like a brass monkey promoting this flotilla. It is up to all Americans, Israelis and people for democratic free societies worldwide to stop LaRudee and his terrorist support gang that is really run by the Palestinian Arabs.

These are some of the ISM creeps who plan to be on this journey:

Huwaida Arraf, Patrick Connors, Greta Berlin, Adam Shapiro, Dorothy Naor, Brian Malovany, Lisa Nessan, Hedy Epstein, among other professional ISM activists. Many of these have been deported already from Israel.

Of course, the simplest and best solution would be for one missile to sink this ship and get rid of the ISM all together, but we realize thats not going to happen. So we are asking all of those concerned to contact the Embassy of Cypress in Washington, D.C. and New York City and demand that this ship not be allowed to use Cypriot ports to make this jounrney to aid Hamas.  At the same time, call the Diplomatic Security Service division of the US State Department and tell them about this and demand the US passports of participants also be held back from travel to Cyprus or Egypt because this group aims to aid Hamas. Likewise, contact your congresspeople and demand that they do something to prevent this "voyage" from occuring.

The question also arises where the money came from for this event. Paul LaRudee has claimed he needed $300,000 to charter a boat. Last time he spoke about it he claimed to raise only $50,000. Where is the extra $250,000 coming from? Money was first to be sent to Riad Hamad's Palestine Children's Welfare Fund then later everything was sent to Paul LaRudee's home address in El Cerrito, California. The IRS in all its wisdom gave non-profit status to NorCal ISM last December without realizing the money was going for such a support- for -Hamas event. IN turn, readers here are urged to write the IRS criminal investigations unit and file a complaint for charities fraud, as well as the California Attorney Generals Office as well for the same purpose.

                                     FLASH!!!!

RIAD HAMAD, the head of ISM NGO front Palestine Children's Welfare Fund was found murdered today, July 17th, 2008 in Texas. Hamad had tried suing various news agencies that identified the support of his organization for terrorism and suicide bombings but ended up paying over $50,000 in sanctions for his frivolous lawsuit.

ISRAELI POLICE INEPTITUDE CONTRIBUTES TO THE ISM's SHENANIGANS. READ THIS IMPORTANT ARTICLE BY CAROLINE GLICK:

Anatomy of a massacre 
Caroline Glick , THE JERUSALEM POST

Government and police spokesmen would have us believe that the carnage in
Jerusalem on Wednesday was unavoidable. Husam Taysir Dwayat, the convicted
rapist, burglar and drug dealer turned jihadist who mowed down innocent
people with his bulldozer on Jaffa Road was not suspected of links to terrorist organizations. The sociopathic, violent criminal who had "returned" to Islam over the past month raised no red flags. There was nothing to be done. No one is to blame.

If the protestations of the government and the police that nothing could have prevented Dwayat from using his bulldozer to murder three people sound familiar, it is because they are. Immediately after Ala Abu Dhaim entered into Mercaz Harav yeshiva on March 6 and massacred eight students, government and police spokesmen said the same thing. There was no way to prevent the attack. No one is to blame.

These statements are no more than easy excuses for incompetence. While it
may be true that neither Dwayat nor Dhaim were members of a terror group, it
is certainly true that both of these Jerusalemite terrorists operated in an
atmosphere that engenders both radicalism and lawlessness. Their decisions
to murder innocent people were products not only of their own evil natures,
but of an atmosphere of permissiveness that naturally intensifies any latent
desire to cause death and mayhem. If they had been operating in a different
environment, it is possible they would have behaved differently.

Four months ago, Dhaim was able to enter Mercaz Harav by dint of his job as
a driver for the Jerusalem Arab-owned transport company HaPnina.

HaPnina had a city contract to transport school children. Dhaim, who arrived
at the yeshiva in a company van, aroused no suspicion when he entered the yeshiva with a large box where he hid his rifle.

After Dhaim committed his massacre, the municipality immediately tried to abrogate its contract with HaPnina. HaPnina sued and the Jerusalem Magistrate's Court issued a temporary injunction requiring the city to
continue using HaPnina until the judge ruled on the case. When Judge Hagit Mack-Kalmanovich finally decided in the municipality's favor on June 13, she
noted that that the company had ignored a court order to provide documentation showing that its drivers had no criminal records and were qualified to transport children.

If the municipality were more vigilant in overseeing its contractors, it could have discovered that HaPnina was employing criminals well before the massacre. Perhaps then Dhaim wouldn't have been able to enter the yeshiva.

It is a criminal offense to praise acts of murder. When hundreds came to pay
their respects for Dhaim and proclaim him a hero, the police could have arrested and interrogated all of them. Among those who arrived at the Dhaim's mourning tent was Wednesday's terrorist, Dwayat. If he had been arrested then, it is possible that police would have discovered that this
convicted rapist had recently become a jihadist. It is also possible that
Dwayat himself would have been intimidated.

But rather than enforce the law, the police did nothing. Rather than arrest
the hundreds who came to praise Dhaim, the police excused their inaction by
bemoaning the fact that the due process rights of Jerusalem Arabs made it
impossible to destroy the homes of Arab terrorists in the capital without
proper legal authorization. That is, they justified their decision to do
nothing by complaining that they can't do everything.

The police's permissive behavior is nothing new. In Dhaim's and Dwayat's
Arab neighborhoods in Jerusalem, as in the Beduin settlements in the Negev
and the Arab cities and villages in the Galilee, the police simply refuse to
enforce the law. They do not patrol the streets. They do not arrest religious, educational and political leaders who solicit terrorism or incite hatred. They do not enforce building laws. They do not protect state and privately owned land from squatters. Today some 90 percent of Arab construction in Israel is carried out without permits. Whole towns in the Negev have been built on stolen state land. And the police do nothing.

As a consequence of police inaction, thieves, smugglers, terror solicitors and other dangerous criminals are allowed to operate in the open. Fearing the wrath of human rights groups on the one hand and Arab rioters on the other, the police simply do not enforce Israeli law in the Arab sector.

This police passivity manifests itself not only in times of relative calm but also in emergency situations. For instance, at both Mercaz Harav and on Jaffa Road, the police were inexcusably passive. In both attacks the
terrorists were only stopped by citizens who took the initiative when the police failed to act.

On Wednesday Dwayat killed two motorists and overturned a truck before a policeman and a security guard climbed into the cab of his bulldozer. And then, instead of shooting him, the policeman simply tried to restrain him. Due to the police's refusal to shoot, Dwayat killed 33-year-old Batsheva
Unterman while the policeman was standing next to him in the bulldozer's cab. It was only the intervention of "M.," an unarmed IDF commando soldier on furlough, that ended the carnage.

M. climbed onto the bulldozer, took the security guard's gun and shot Dwayat
in the head three times. Another policeman only shot Dwayat after M. had already killed him.

At Mercaz Harav, it took the police some 20 minutes to show up in force. Until then, only one police officer was at the scene. And as he heard the anguished cries of teenagers being murdered, he opted not to go in and
protect them. He stood outside and did nothing. Dhaim was only stopped when
yeshiva student Moshe Dadon and furloughed paratrooper Capt. David Shapira killed him. As luck or providence would have it, Shapira is M.'s brother-in-law.

In failing to act against Arab Israeli lawlessness and the terror it engenders, the police are little different from the government. Like the police, the government turns a blind eye to the radicalization and
lawlessness of Arab Israeli society. And when the unchallenged lawless and
jihadist atmosphere leads inevitably to massacre, the government talks of
how its hands are tied and makes angry, tough declarations not backed by
policy. Then it quickly moves to change the subject.

The government's refusal to form a coherent policy regarding the deteriorating situation in Israeli-Arab society was exposed at the Knesset on Wednesday. There, just as Dwayat was on his killing spree, the Knesset
was scheduled to vote on two bills written by opposition lawmakers after the
Mercaz Harav massacre. If passed, the bills will allow the government to revoke the citizenship of terrorists and their family members and prohibit the families of dead terrorists from publicly celebrating their actions.

The government's Ministerial Committee on Legislation voted to oppose the bills some weeks ago. It only changed its mind in light of the massacre on Jaffa Road. As opposition leader and Likud Chairman Binyamin Netanyahu noted on Thursday morning in an interview with Israel Radio, the government's support of the bills was pure political opportunism. The sudden change in
its position made clear that the government has no policies, only postures.

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Defense Minister Ehud Barak reacted to
Wednesday's attack by loudly proclaiming their support for destroying Dwayat's home. But as Netanyahu noted, they are policy-makers, not spokesmen. Their job is to act, not to declaim about their preferences.

And yet, making loud, crowd pleasing declarations is the only policy the
government has for dealing with anything. Both Barak and Olmert know that in
sovereign Israel it is legally impossible to simply destroy a house without
due process. Attorney-General Menahem Mazuz is still trying to work out how
to legally destroy Dhaim's home four months after he attacked. If Barak and
Olmert really were interested in destroying terrorists' homes, they could
pass a law explicitly empowering the government to do so.

While the police could end the atmosphere of lawlessness by enforcing the laws already on the books, the government can take positive steps to reverse the trends toward radicalization in Israeli Arab society. It can pass regulations barring anti-Zionist propaganda in public school curricula and
sanctioning the immediate firing of public school teachers who teach students to hate Israel. It can suspend government funding of municipalities and local councils that do not enforce building codes. It can set up
well-paid community police comprised of loyal citizens. The government can
prosecute Arab politicians and leaders who treat with the enemy for treason.

But not only is the government doing none of these things, it is taking active steps to legitimize Israeli-Arab rejection of the State of Israel. So it is that far from barring the study of the myth of the so-called Nakba, or
catastrophe of Israel's birth, in Arab schools, Education Minister Yuli Tamir is encouraging Israeli Jewish schools to teach the lie to their Jewish students. Rather than take action against Arab leaders who actively work to radicalize Israeli-Arab society and solicit terrorism, the government bends
over backwards to appease these leaders in the name of multicultural pluralism.

The government has not sufficed with seeking to appease Arab radicals by embracing their anti-Israeli propaganda as legitimate. It is also actively working to marginalize the sectors of Israeli society that support policies
aimed at reversing the trend of Arab radicalization.

M., the hero of Wednesday's attack, is case in point. M., a clearly motivated, resourceful and brave soldier, is 20 years old. At his age, he should have already been in the army for nearly two years. But he was only drafted four months ago. It turns out that the IDF didn't want him. Even as IDF commanders bemoan the dwindling draft rolls as more and more young men and women evade military service, the IDF fought for two years to keep M. out of its ranks.

The IDF opposed M.'s service because in 2005 he was arrested for protesting
against the withdrawal from Gaza. Charges were never filed against him. But
the mere fact that he was arrested for opposing one of the stupidest and
most disastrous government policies the IDF has ever implemented was sufficient to make him politically suspect.

Then, too, by Thursday morning, unnamed government sources were warning that
"right-wing extremists" were planning to start attacking Jerusalem Arab neighborhoods.

It is far easier to attack imaginary enemies than to face real ones.

It is possible that both Dhaim and Dwayat couldn't have been stopped. But it
is certainly true that given the environment of lawlessness and governmental
flaccidity in which they operated, there were no countervailing forces in
their lives that might have led these evil men to have second thoughts about
murdering innocent Israelis in the name of Allah.

Political bluster will not prevent the next attack. There are policies that Israel can enact today that will make the option of mass murder less attractive to its Arab citizenry. But as Barak, Olmert and their colleagues
have made clear, nothing will happen under the current government.

                           FLASH!!!

Adam Shapiro, key founder of the ISM is now in Israel under  assumed name working to assist terrorist groups. Shapiro,  banned from Israel for at least five years,  somehow managed to elude the border control, now in the country illegally.

Above is Shapiro with ISM co-founder/wife "Heidi " Huwaida Aaraf.

           Shapiro plotting against Israel at ISM media office

                                                                          

Shapiro claims he is nonviolent but supports armed resistance against Israel. He has also said he no longer considers himself a Jew, but claims he is one in attacking Israel's existence.

Barbara Lubin of Middle East Childrens Alliance, the main money launderer for the ISM in the US throught the A.J. Must Foundation is also in the Judea and Samaria right now working and plotting with her associates in the Dheshieh Camp. Her associate Mona al-Farrah has said all her patients are terrorists.

These are bad people running around in Israel and they probably changed their names to get in.

          ----------------------------------------

For those of you who care about stopping the Arab fascist attempt to destroy democratic Israel by subterfuge, please write the IRS Criminal Investigations Unit at the address below and demand they investigate why Paul LaRudee and his ISM Support Group in Northern California were given non-profit tax exemption to raise money that is going to finance a flotilla to help the Hamas by trying to run the IDF Navy blockade of Gaza to help smuggle weapons in for Hamas. LaRudee was deported from Israel for Hamas connections and has openly worked to aid Hizballah, all known Foreign Terrorist Organizations. No doubt he lied on his application and he is also violating anti-terror laws in the US by training individuals to go abroad and aid terrorist groups.

UC Police look the other way at ISM guns on campus. Violation state, federal law

 By Lee Kaplan  Wednesday, May 14, 2008

While some Americans happily celebrated the 60th birthday of Israel this past 
week, on several California campuses it was the “Nakba” (Arabic for 
"Catastrophe") that was celebrated instead and American college campuses nationwide also provided the venue for the Israel bashing event by setting up fake “checkpoints” and accosting students for their ID then saying they could not go home to their villages” inside Israel. Meanwhile, as in the past, anti-Israel protesters at UC-Berkeley illegally brandished realistic weapons in order to call attention to “Israeli oppression."



Federal law requires toy guns to have bright orange tips and the 
California Penal Code section 12556 clearly stipulates that “No person 
may openly display or expose any imitation firearm [...] in a public 
place.”

For the full text of the statute, scroll to the bottom of the link by clicking here: 
 


Moreover, University of California code 40.10 states that “University 
properties shall be used only in accordance with federal, state, and 
local laws and shall not be used for the purpose of organizing or 
carrying out unlawful activity."  Another code 70.50 adds that registered student groups (including Students for Justice in Palestine and Muslim Students Association) must respect state and Federal law.
 


Finally, the UC Policy on Student Conduct and Discipline states that “Students 
are expected to comply with all laws and with University policies and 
campus regulations,” and that “Chancellors may impose discipline for 
violations of University policies or campus regulations.” 
 
According to an eyewitness account of the May 7th protest, the UC Police was present at the protest but would not enforce the law. UC Berkeley Middle East Studies Center receives considerable money and support from Saudi Arabia so this is not surprising. Meanwhile, Cal students were nonetheless subject to having guns pointed at them all day long at Sather Gate in the center of campus.

I would encourage those of you who are concerned that the UC-Berkeley 
administration will not enforce state law or university policy to write 
to the UC-Berkeley Police Department Chief of Police Victoria Harrison
and the Office of the Chancellor Robert Birgeneau. At the time this article went to press, neither was available to comment.
 


Since student groups often brandish toy weapons on our campuses, 
especially during “Apartheid Wall Checkpoint” protests, it is high time taxpayers who support public universities report infractions of federal or state law to the police and university administrations of their local campuses as this problem is not unique to UC Berkeley. Recently, the San Jose State administration put their foot down when students from Palestinian and Muslim groups on that campus made the same violations also to only have the campus police look the other way.   In April, 2007 at De Anza Community College, protesters also carried black toy guns on campus that did not have orange tips, a violation of both federal and state law in the United States.

The ISM is not one single entity, but an umbrella organization of communists, anarchists and social misfits working in conjunction with the PLO and Islamic fascist countries such as Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

We are still working on some bugs to this website, so please bear with us. However, if you click on the tabs above you can learn about the ISM and why we  are working to have it shut down in the USA for violating the Patriot Act and other anti-terrorism laws. To date, Stop the ISM has managed to get over two hundred ISM activists deported from Israel and even gotten the Israeli government to declare the ISM a terrorist supporting group. New articles can be found on the left margin of this page, or in the "Information" section you can click on above.

Please peruse this site. You can just scroll down at left and read our newest exposes on ISM members. If you'd like to contact us with information: info@StoptheISM.com  .
