The theme of the conference was "End the Occupation!" Shapiro, who was deported from Israel the month earlier, joined delegates from Gush Shalom, B'tselem, the Israeli Committee against House Demolitions and other professional Israel-bashers.  The two-day conference opened with a statement of support from the U.N. chief men's room attendant and banana-sucker, Secretary-General Kofi Annan. He recalled his night with the Palestinian leader, whom he got to know at the end of March when members of Shapiro's group, and the group he and his wife founded, the International Solidarity Movement (ISM), entered the Mukata to treat the wounded Arab terrorists, many of whom had Jewish blood on their hands.

"SEEDS OF PEACE" IS SEEDS 0F DISASTER

There is an organization that promises "peace" by bringing Arabs and Jewish youngsters together. Its name is "Seeds of Peace", a very neutral-sounding name, but a group with a very real objective. It was at this organization that Adam Shapiro was brainwashed into supporting Arab and PLO terror.  Ill-prepared, impressionable and "defenseless" young Jews hear a constant barrage of lies about "Israel, the Oppressor" from well-indoctrinated Arab children attending these camps. 

And, in Adam Shapiro's case, it didn't help much having parents (Stuart and Doris) who long supported the PLO and called Israel a "Nazi State while observing, "There was no one to document what the Nazis did to the Jews -- We are proud Adam is documenting what the Jews are doing to the poor Palestinians."  His parents claim they had to suddenly leave their Brooklyn apartment due to death threats but not before they lovingly posed for an interview with the New York Times. It's hard to feel sympathy for them, though, when their son is associated with Hamas and Hezbollah tactics aimed at killing of Jews and Americans. 

Adam proclaimed, "The Palestinian resistance must take on a variety of characteristics - both violent and non-violent. But more importantly it must develop a strategy involving both aspects. No successful non-violent was able to achieve what it did without a concurrent violent movement." Regarding Arab suicide-homicide bombers he declared,  "We are certain that if these men were killed in such [suicide-homicide attacks] actions they would be considered Shaheed Allah." (legitimate martyrs for Allah).

ISM ("I Support Murderers")

ISM was co-founded in December 2000 by Adam Shapiro, his then Arab-American girlfriend, Huwaida Arraf [now his wife] and two more Arabs, Ghassan Andoni and George Rishmawi.  ISM is often referred to in the media as a "peace movement."  Yet there is a flip side to the portrait the ISM presents of itself. In practice, it is nothing less than a revolutionary movement fighting in support of a violent struggle. Indeed, it defines itself as anything but neutral. In the opening paragraph on its own web site, ISM says it supports the Palestinian "armed struggle."  It also says it uses nonviolent means to support that struggle. But as in any paramilitary operation, there are combat units and support units. In the ongoing fighting between Palestinian terrorists and Israel's army, the ISM chooses to play the role of a support unit for the Palestinians.

Fellow ISM spokesman, Raphael Cohen [left photo] addressed ISM's definition of the "occupation" as "The Zionist presence in Palestine" that is, in all of the country including Israel within its pre-1967 borders. Cohen went on to say that the ISM view of peace would be a "one-state solution," or no Israel at all. Huwaida Arraf herself confirmed that ISM supports the Palestinian "right of return," a flooding of Arabs into Israel which is tantamount to calling for the end of the Jewish state.

The Palestine Solidarity Movement conference (PSM) functions as the student branch of the International Solidarity Movement (ISM), a Palestinian-led, direct action organization that trains European and American youths to partake in civil disobedience and other agitational activities in Israel. Although the ISM insistently bills itself as a non-violent organization, two of the organization's co-founders, Huwaida Arraf and Adam Shapiro, have explicated an overall strategy that envisions the ISM functioning in close cooperation with Palestinian terrorist organizations. According to Arraf and Shapiro, the Palestinian resistance must take on a variety of characteristics, both nonviolent and violent. But most importantly it must develop a strategy involving both aspects. No other successful nonviolent movement was able to achieve what it did without a concurrent violent movement. Thus, the ISM was specifically created to function as an auxiliary, partner, and enabler of a violent anti-Israeli campaign.

ANOTHER AMERICAN TALIBAN TERRORIST

Critics have compared Shapiro to American Taliban terrorist, John Walker Lindh. Like Lindh, Shapiro has a strong affinity with extremists in Afghanistan, asserting that the Taliban was "unfairly displaced."  It's no coincidence that in 2002 the "Guerrilla News Network" picked Shapiro as its "Guerrilla of the Week."

Hate-Filled Anti-Semite "Peace Chick," Rachel Corrie Rachel Corrie burns mock American flag at pro-Hamas rally

NOTE: Another famous ISMer was non-Jew (but just as nuts!) Rachel Corrie. She was the misguided do-gooder from America's Left Coast who played chicken with an IDF bulldozer. Not surprisingly, she lost... BIG TIME!  Rachel Corrie was a clueless campus radical who committed suicide while trying to prevent Israeli bulldozers from destroying a smuggling tunnel used by the Palestinians in Gaza to smuggle in explosives, weapons, and missiles. Witnesses on the ground said her last words were, "I went to Gaza and all I got was this lousy flat T-shirt!"
