If you haven’t already, swing over to FPM and take a read of this Lee Kaplan article about how the International Solidarity Movement and Bethlehem Bible College have organized to streamline their “Travel to Palestine� foreign exchange student program.
College exchange students often visit other countries to learn of other cultures, appreciate the past, or gain valuable insight into other regions. Few go to be indoctrinated consciously for the purposes of political — and literal — warfare. However, the International Solidarity Movement and the Bethlehem Bible College have put together a program that does just that.
The ISM has long sent American students to the Middle East, where they undergo training by the ISM-ally, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a known terrorist group, and then physically obstruct Israeli forces trying to nab Palestinian terrorists. Front Page Magazine’s exposure of the ISM and the much-publicized deaths of two ISM-affiliated students, American Rachel Corrie and Englishman Tom Hurndall, led to dwindling recruitment numbers. Heightened scrutiny of terrorist organizations as well as a recent Israeli crackdown on ISM leaders like Kate Raphael has forced George Rishmawi, a Canadian-Palestinian Communist who co-founded the ISM, to rethink his organization’s tactics. Now the radical group has hit upon using international student exchanges in its campaign to aid the cause of Palestinian genocidal terror.
Because there is a Rachel Corrie born every day.
And the ISM needs them to push their hate.
