Are You In Solidarity With "Palestine"?

If you are in solidarity with "Palestine", then you probably visit this site:


And did you notice the map logo there?


Yes, the PLO map which indicates that in 1964, when the organization was founded, it intended to "liberate" Israel, all of it, to the sea:


No solidarity, at all, with Israel then?

And consider the campaign's aims:

The Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) campaigns for justice for the Palestinians. We also advocate for Palestinians' civil, political and human rights, in accordance with international law.

PSC is established to campaign:

for the right of self-determination for the Palestinian people
for the right of return of the Palestinian people
(to where?)for the immediate withdrawal of the Israeli state from the occupied territories
(how are the "occupied" territories defined?)against the oppression and dispossession suffered by the Palestinian people
in support of the rights of the Palestinian people and their struggle to achieve these rights
to promote Palestinian civil society in the interests of democratic rights and social justice
to oppose Israel's occupation and its aggression against neighbouring states
(wait! so what was the above aim about? what "occupation"?)in opposition to racism, including anti-Jewish prejudice and Islamophobia, and the apartheid and Zionist nature of the Israeli state

Who is in Solidarity with "Palestine"?

I have been following this for the last three days:-

ISM Palestine May 03 11:04AM -0700

This afternoon two British men and a Swedish woman were released after being held for 48 hours in an Israeli prison. The three activists who are with the International Solidarity Movement had been staying in the Palestinian village Izbet al-Tabib when over 60 Israel soldiers and a bulldozer arrived on Sunday afternoon with the intention of building a fence through a section of the village, annexing agricultural land. The three were charged with being in a closed military zone; however at the time of the arrests, the military provided the individuals with no paperwork to support this and the charges against them were
subsequently dropped. All three activists sustained injuries during their arrests: Rufus from the UK was hit in the face with a gun, causing severe cuts and bruises; Lisa from Sweden was kicked in the head and a woman in her 60s volunteering with the Michigan Peace Team was hospitalised with a head injury and two broken wrists, she was released from hospital yesterday but is awaiting surgery...

For more information contact ISM media on 00972597606276

I am amazed that that third ISMer, the elderly lady, is still unidentified by name.

Either they don't know who she is or maybe she is afraid of being identified as perhaps her family thinks she's on a vacation in Africa?

Are You In Solidarity with "Palestinian Resistance"?

If so, please consider this:

We had reports on sexual harassment and then rape of non-Arab "International Solidarity" activists who come to identify with the "Palestinian resistance".

We had reports of embezzlement of donor nations' funds and worse.  Exploitng UNRWA institutions for terror and incitement.

We have witnessed Christians in Bethlehem being attacked, beaten and run out of town.  And another murdered in Gaza.

Hamas can't stand Abbas and the two terror groups kill and torture each other.

Then we had the murder of Juliano Mer-Khasin in Jenin.

Now, another murder of one who sought to assist them.

Is this a revolution that has turned on itself and those closest to it?
