ISM Exposed: How the ISM Sucker-Punched the IDF Again

Paul LaRudee meeting with Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh

LaRudee continues to hobnob with Hamas, having recently visited Hamas in Gaza to receive a medal the group had awarded him. He was among those arrested on the Mavi Marmara, where he was justifiably struck by Israeli personnel who were struggling to subdue him. Because their actions were justified, these personnel were not vilified in the media nor reprimanded by the government. But the only difference between them and Colonel Eisner is that their actions weren’t depicted in a grossly-manipulated video.

Here are a few more ISM activists I succeeded in getting deported from Israel.

Brian Malovany

Brian Malovany trains new ISM recruits on how to harass IDF soldiers. His father told me ISM is a cult. Brian managed to reenter Israel by obtaining an Irish passport. ISM encourages obtaining multiple passports and identities so as to be able to reenter Israel and continue the harassment of the IDF and support for the terrorist groups in their ‘resistance’.

Joseph Carr a.k.a Joseph Smith

Joseph Carr has boasted about entering Israel four separate times from four different entry points to continue his “revolution” against the Jewish state after being banned from the country. Carr has been linked to the deaths of members of ISM, as he suspiciously managed to capture their deaths with photographs, and has dubbed the deaths as “worth the price of the revolution.”

Deppen Webber disguised as a settler wearing a kippah

Deppen Webber was Paul LaRudee’s replacement until I got him deported from Israel only a few months ago. The above photo shows him wearing a kippah and disguised as a Jew in the West Bank; he is not Jewish. Webber turned up in Beirut  just weeks ago, where he was helping Hezbollah organize the Global March to Jerusalem. ISM’s support for Hezbollah is patent, and in the US it works with Hezbollah-linked groups, especially in Shiite mosques.

Jeff Pickert a.k.a. Max Suchan

Jeff Pickert was deported after my last visit to Israel because he was tasked with fomenting riots in a new Arab village in the West Bank that was intended to be the next Bi’ilin. Pickert was linked to a PFLP safe house in Chicago and was involved in the flotillas enterprise. He is now touring American campuses and churches on behalf of the ISM, recruiting for more ISM recruits.

Jonas Moffat a.k.a. Joe Skillet

I got Jonas Moffat, a professional ISM agitator, deported for security violations. He is the founder of the Tel Rumeida Circus and now has a sinecure, touring the globe to try and destroy Israel since he can no longer do so from within. Like other ISM activists, he assumed an alias so that he could reenter Israel, harass the IDF, and foment riots even after banishment and deportation.

ISM activities are not just limited to harassment of Israel’s security forces: they are behind boycotts of Israel; they are allied with neo-Nazis in the US, with Arab irredentist groups that are fronts for terrorists – particularly Hamas – in the US, and with Iranian interests. The ISM’s purpose is to destroy Israel’s sovereignty as a nation “by any means necessary” – by flooding the country with international anarchists who can create scenes such as those depicting Colonel Eisner.

Colonel Eisner, a hero of the 2006 war with Hebozllah in Lebanon, was set up by the ISM through video manipulation, and the Israeli government is once again falling all over itself just to fall into the trap. It appears that Israel’s leaders have short memories, as it was not so long ago that an IDF Navy SEAL, armed with a paintball gun, was literally disemboweled on an ISM flotilla ship and thrown overboard into the sea by ISM-affiliated activists on the Mavi Marmara. Colonel Eisner did nothing less than that Navy SEAL in protecting the People of Israel. And this disrespect of our soldiers and police must stop.

Colonel Eisner says he overreacted? The real overreaction was by the politicians and the media, who do not seem to fully apprehend ISM’s tactics and training and the context in which the episode took place, and who fear indiscriminate and sweeping condemnation by other nations. But Colonel Eisner’s contrition is understandable considering the unnecessary reprobation he received from Prime Minister Netanyahu and the IDF brass, who shot from the hip. But the fact is, it is the government that owes him an apology, as much as they owe an apology to that Israeli Navy SEAL for sending him on his mission with a paintball gun.

  1. Garry Berkey says:

    The propagandist posted many videos on YouTube beginning with the M-16 strike. So many fell for this. I asked many, "What happened before the strike, which the videos don't show?" Brainwashed for decades from the liberal owned mainstream media, they only came back to me with anger at my question. What a shame this is.

  2. Excellent analysis of the ISM tactics.

  3. Brian Fink says:

    It's no use complaining that 'it's not fair' this an existential war.The IDF must not only be stronger but smarter than our enemies. The Americans found out in Vietnam that wars can be won and lost on TV screens, how much more so in the Internet age! Perhaps the C.O. of each unit can have a helmet camera such as the British police on special operations have and quickly upload the footage onto the Internet to counteract ISM manipulated propaganda. Why not Tasers which are non-lethal? Disable the rudders and propellors of blockade running ships and no one gets hurt.Think SMART!

    • Cassandra Victoria says:

      Absolutely! Pepper spray and tear gas too! I cannot believe the IDf let these scum stand right next to them!! This is intolerable!!

    • Charlie Hall says:

      The US won every single battle in Vietnam. But it was a battle in support of a brutal, corrupt, and undemocratic regime, and the other side had a great propaganda machine. Little did anyone know that the other side was even more brutal to its people and even less democratic.

    • Hill says:

      Great revealing article. Well done.

      Eisner should be given a medal.

      Come on Israel, Brian Fink is correct. You have to be smarter-Helmet Cameras and pepper spray and a few bloody noses and crack ribs will make the ISM rethink their false bravdo.

      Furthermore, If ISM are recruiting because they know the IDF will not give them a bloody nose tells me everything I need to know. Stop fearing what the international MSM have to say, they have already found you guilty, protect your soldiers first and by and large the citizens of Israel.

    • You are right Brian, wars are won and lost on the tv screen, but not the way most people think. It is really your own population that you need to worry about, as opposed to everyone else's. The US was in no threat or danger from other nations due to the Vietnam war, but could no longer effectively wage a war which its own population did not support. This is a great analysis of the incident:

    • Charlie Hall everyone knew that, but leftists didn't care

  4. Yehuda Alan says:

    Adam Shapiro a member of ISM? That is a Jewish name. Please let me he is not Jewish that the name came from his father but his mother is not Jewish. How could a Jew have so much hatred for the state of israel, as imperfect as it is?

    • Cassandra Victoria says:

      I am afraid he is a (kapo) Jew. Not only that, he is married to his co-leader an Arab anti-semite woman. They are funded by George Sore-ass, the Nazi. This fool is being laughed at behind his back; he will be killed when his usefulness is over. Good riddance!

    • Asher B. Garber says:

      Not only is he Jewish, but I believe he camped out with Arafat when the PLO headquarters came under fire during the early stages of Intifada II: Electric Boogaloo.

    • Cassandra Victoria says:

      Asher B. Garber aaaarrgh!!! What did his parents do to him??

  5. Asher B. Garber says:

    What a bunch of useless idiots. How much energy have these "peace protesters" (i.e. protesting peace) wasted in their battle against history and logic? There is a reason why the Palestinians don't have a state, and it's not AIPAC.

  6. These guys are the ultra left equivalent of Ted Nugent and his band of nut case tea baggers.

  7. ship them all to Berlin after they clean toilets at Yad Vashem for five years.

  8. Peter Wilson says:

    Time to declare the ISM a terrorist-supporting organization. Arrest its members once detected and imprison them.

Israel is a country that understands security concerns. Many civil rights have been sacrificed in the name of security and Israelis are used to being checked every time they enter a shopping center, a large store or any public building. Americans recently learned that they, too, are subject to many checks on their most private activities.

Moshe-Feiglin-022213

Without a clear worldview, it is impossible to coherently deal with the challenge of the strategic changes taking place throughout the world – and particularly in the Middle East. Before our very eyes, a worldwide and local revolution is unfolding; their significance is greater than both World Wars combined.

No one can envy President Obama’s current dilemma over Syria.

His decision to begin arming the Syrian rebels challenging Bashar Assad’s regime drew charges that the rebel forces are driven by jihad movements, particularly al Qaeda. Further, many rebel spokesmen have regularly denounced Israel and suggested that once in power they will end Mr. Assad’s policy of not rocking the boat with Israel. How, then, critics ask, could the president align the U.S. with the rebels?

In a gushing report on the election of Hassan Rohani as Iran’s new president, The New York Times began with this: “In a striking repudiation of the ultraconservatives who wield power in Iran, voters…overwhelmingly elected a mild-mannered cleric who advocates greater personal freedoms and a more conciliatory approach to the world.”

Last month in this space we noted that the New York State Assembly was considering legislation that would prohibit domestic insurers from including on their financial statements investments in companies that engage in investment activities in Iran. These financial statements are relied upon by the state to determine whether the company is solvent and able to pay claims. That bill has since passed the Assembly, but the New York State Senate is balking at passing it as well.

There is no other candidate running for mayor who supports our community’s values as Salgado does.

If the eyes are the window to the soul, then children’s eyes are the window to the Almighty Himself.

Adding Turkey to the list of volatile states would mean even more uncertainty for Israel.

Making Rouhani the president was a brilliant strategic move for Khamene’i.

Noone, least of all me, wants to see any Arab child suffer, God forbid.

The Sanctuary was built with an ezrat nashim, a separate area for women.

The 686 men who expressed their desire to run in Iran’s presidential election were whittled down to 8.

Every American child seems to be on Ritalin and Israelis are imitating them.

The elimination of the buffer zone by the security fence will not only leave Israel more vulnerable to attacks by terrorists, but also invite “publicity stunts” by adversarial non-governmental organizations.

Freedom House

In a clear distortion of information, the once prestigious Freedom House, a not-for-profit organization that purports to monitor which societies in the world are truly free, appears deliberately to have omitted and misrepresented easily verifiable information in what can only be seen as an attempt to downgrade Israel from “free” to “partly free.”

The British have been in the news lately for their stretched-to-the-limit political correctness concerning militant Islamists, and have even been jailing British subjects or fining them for allegedly making insulting remarks about Islam. Despite these convictions for “hate crimes” against Islam the British government seems perfectly willing to overlook the converse: anti-Semitic attacks by Iranian front groups against the Jewish community.

A career officer is suspended by the IDF and his career may be in ruins because the ISM manipulated a video to once again defame the IDF. But ISM activists do more than just abuse free speech to interfere with the IDF, nor are they starry-eyed pacifists. They represent a definite security risk to Israel and are documented terrorist confederates.
