Volunteer

We need you in Palestine

The International Solidarity Movement needs international volunteers like you to come to the Occupied Palestinian Territories. We need you to stand with Palestinians against attacks on their very existence.

A large powerful army continues to use its military might on a civilian population, largely unarmed and struggling for its freedom and independence. The international community fails to meet it’s obligations to protect the Palestinian people. Israeli colonial policies continue to strip Palestinians of their human rights and deny them human dignity. Violations of human rights and international law are committed by the Israeli occupation forces every day as tanks and armored personnel carriers roam the destroyed streets of Palestine shooting at civilians and their houses and infrastructure. The Israeli army attacks the Gaza Strip, hundreds of homes are demolished, Palestinian children are systematically denied their education and their parents are denied the right to live and make a living. The International Solidarity Movement has been witness to war crimes and is expecting more of the same, WE NEED YOU to come stand with us against this injustice.

With the current United States government the most Israel-friendly in history and mired in the occupation of Iraq, the Palestinian people fear the worst. With the attention of the international community on Iraq, the Israeli government has stepped up its war on the Palestinian people, viciously striking them while the world is distracted. The International Solidarity Movement wants to make sure the world is watching. Come and join us in the Occupied Palestinian Territories and join the Palestinian people’s struggle for freedom, truth and justice.

In addition to maintaining presences in various areas repeatedly attacked by Israeli settlers and the military, the ISM will focus on supporting people resisting the building of the “wall” which is destroying and isolating their farmland and will effectively put thousands of Palestinians in a cage.

Our call to the world is ongoing. We hope you plan to join us here in Palestine.
