One of the more disgusting individuals in the ISM is Joseph Carr from St. Louis, Missouri. Carr is the epitome of the ISM motto "by any means necessary." Carr's real name is Joseph Smith. He changed his name to Carr, his mother's last name, so he could commit passport violations and reenter Israel to work on his revolution. He has been funded and given a sinecure by the Quakers in the Christian Peacemakers Team, affiliates of the ISM.
Carr lies without compunction. He in fact lied about being present at Rachel Corrie's death and even doctored photos of the event that Reuters had to subsequently apologize for using in the press.
Let's see how much of a true "peace activist" Joseph Carr really is:
On his own website here is a rap song he composed:
http://www.lovinrevolution.org/resistance_to_empire.htm
Global intifada:-
We'll have a lot of intifadas from our fathers and daughters We won't totter when they shot us like the martyrs that taught us So don't bother to tighten the noose or lose (sic)collar The tighter it gets the fighter spit gets harder
A Revolutionary Pedagogy:-
I was filled with respect my instructors with guns Never slept as they kept the tanks on the run As we crept to the houses that were shot-at for fun I faced fear as the rest of my test had begun
I got a new last name changed to pass Got my ass back to Philistine fast For another look at struggle with the knuckles of brass And to stand with the masses being beaten and gassed
And it appeared so clear that my role is here Spreading fever fervor in the emperor's ear I hold dear, the lessons I was blessed to adhere In the intifada Honda I was taught to steer
I'll be back in the US for awhile, my almamater To apply some of the lessons I learned about resistance, insurgency, and struggle I am anticipating my final upcoming final exam
Boom Boom:-
And Palestinians depend on continuing resisting Oppressors are oppressors Buddhist Jewish or Christian So all you Israelis fussin, its time for justice End the occupation or stay off of the busses
Cause sidewalk signs never stopped a war Nor free the ghetto or native land restored It's a fact nonviolence is a practical tactic When compacted with militancy can be effective
Love in revolution:-
I met you in Palestine, I met you in Iraq I met you in Seattle battling with the cops I met you in a tree-sit and at food not bombs I met you and I had to get you into my arms
This is the face of the real ISM.
