Odious and his odious friends

o New Jersey Solidarity leader Charlotte Kates defines Israeli children as "legitimate targets."

o ISM/PSM founders Adam Shapiro and Huwaida Arraf say that the Palestinian "resistance" must include violent methods for which Israeli civilians are legitimate targets.

· ISM/PSM activists have provided "safe house" assistance to terrorists in Israel.

· A member of Al-Awda (Right of Return), an ISM/PSM affiliate, allegedly posted a solicitation for a "martyr" to bomb the Hadassah Hospital in Israel, where Ariel Sharon was being treated for a stroke.

· At the 2nd PSM Conference at the University of Michigan in October 2002, the attendees chanted "Ittbach al yahood" = "Kill the Jews."

(2)Recruitment of American college students as "human shields"

· ISM director George Rishmawi says it is useful to recruit American college students for the purpose of getting them hurt or killed in confrontations with Israeli security forces.

· PSM spokesperson Nadeem Muaddi posted an essay calling for Christians to offer themselves as "martyrs" for the Palestinian cause. The context of his essay suggests that he means human shields.

(3)Promotion of religious intolerance and homophobic and sexist violence. ISM/PSM is an agent for the Palestinian governmental entities that:

· Treat Christians and Jews as dhimmis (second-class citizens).

· Sanction and condone domestic violence, including so-called "honor killings" of women.

· Imprison, torture, and kill gays because of their sexual orientation

Compared with the treatment meted out to mobs in the Arab Middle East and even in UK and anywhere else on mainland Europe the IDF treated these scum with kid gloves. Nobody asked them to butt in - but having done so they will be treated accordingly.
