Irony can be so ironic.
I looked up the ISM here:
“Funding
According to the ISM’s website, “International volunteers who join the ISM are responsible for paying their own way and covering all their expenses in Palestine. The ISM does not receive any funding from any state, government or association. We rely on donations from average people all over the world that support peace and the Palestinian struggle for freedom.”[1] The ISM regularly sends speakers on fund-raising trips and encourages funding drives.
Philosophy
The organization calls on civilians from around the world to participate in acts of non-violent protests against the Israeli military in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. It has been criticised for working alongside other groups to pressure Palestinian artists to boycott the One Voice Peace Summit and for helping to undermine the Summit by creating a competing event. ISM and affiliated groups critical of the Summit say that One Voice fails to fully support Palestinian rights guaranteed under international law.
ISM’s position on violence
The ISM’s website describes the organization as a “Palestinian-led movement committed to resisting the Israeli occupation of Palestinian land using nonviolent, direct-action methods and principles”. It emphasizes international volunteers are not there to “teach nonviolent resistance” but to support resistance through nonviolent direct action, emergency mobilization and documentation.[2]
An article in the British newspaper The Daily Telegraph called ISM “the ‘peace’ group that embraces violence” because its mission statement recognises “armed struggle” as the “right” of Palestinians.[3] The statement in question is taken from the ISM Mission Statement:
As enshrined in international law and UN resolutions , we recognize the Palestinian right to resist Israeli violence and occupation via legitimate armed struggle. However, we believe that nonviolence can be a powerful weapon in fighting oppression and we are committed to the principles of nonviolent resistance...”
I feel no sympathy for her, but I do blame the liberal peacenik organization that she belonged to for putting her into danger with no protection.
That's the irony.
