The International Solidarity Movement [known most recently in the media as the group the American girl belonged to before an Israeli Defense Force bulldozer ran her over despite everybody telling him to stop after he had started running her over...and more recently for the peaceful British protester that was shot in the face at point blank range by the IDF] had their office raided by the Israeli Defense Force. They were all arrested and had their computers confiscated. (and they had done nothing wrong either!)

 

Wow, what a crack down on peaceful protesters. :fyou :finger Sharon!

Israeli forces raided the ISM office this morning, confiscating equipment and material and snatching three women. At 12:30pm on Friday, May 9, approximately 20 military vehicles, army jeeps and a large armored personnel carrier (intended for many arrests) surrounded the ISM media office in Beit Sahour. Dozens of soldiers, border police and civilian police officers raided the ISM office, confiscating all computers, not only in the ISM office but in the nearby office of the Palestinian Centre for Rapprochement. Files, CD, and photos were all pillaged, while soldiers broke equipment and damaged office space. Israeli forces

kidnapped Palestinian volunteer, Fida, American volunteer, Flo, and a worker with Human Rights Watch visiting the office. At the time of this writing, Fida has been released, and the internationals seem to

have been moved to the office of the Israeli Ministry of Interior, most probably for deportation.
