Volunteers with the ISM from various countries are right now in Gaza,
witnessing, documenting and reporting on the Israeli massacre that
started December 27. They arrived on the Free Gaza Movements boats
that have repeatedly broken Israel's illegal blockade of Gaza; some
have been in Gaza since August.

Because they on are on the ground in Gaza, these international
volunteers are able to see first hand what is really going on. The
eyewitness information and photographs they have been able to get out
expose that this is indeed a slaughter of civilians, not an operation
only targeting the Hamas militia as Israel claims to justify its war
crimes.

ISM volunteers in the West Bank have been primarily working in East
Jerusalem, Ni'lin, Bil'in, and the Hebron and Nablus regions. They
work in coordination with the local residents in providing solidarity
against ethnic cleansing by residing with local families in threatened
areas, supporting communities in their struggles against the Israeli
Apartheid Wall, and maintaining a nonviolent international presence to
deter abuses by Israeli settlers and soldiers.

In addition to sending funds from your organizations, we urge you to
coordinate fundraisers in your area. Fundraisers are a great way to
spread the word about the situation in Palestine and collect the money
necessary for us to continue.
