'Like a number of other ISM activists, he found he couldn't bring himself to leave. He now plans to stay through the summer. "This place is really addictive," he says.'

So is crack.

An excerpt from the Evergreen Alternative School page.

Evergreen features cooperative goal-setting by students, teachers, and parents, and an opportunity for students to make decisions about their classes. The school emphasizes basic skills, small group conferences, and reinforcement of behavior through individual decision making.

Perhaps the individual decision made to stand in front of the bulldozer was a poor one.

WIll the next "Evergreen Student c'mon down"

She came to Israel on a "birthright" program run by Livnot U'Lehibanot, a religious organization that pays the travel expenses of American Jews who want to come to Israel to solidify their Jewish identity.

My son keeps reminding me to sign him up for this program. I hope that at the end of it, instead of doing what this girl did, he enlists with the IDF.

Wow. I've read this article before, when I researching the Corrie commie for a letter to the editor I had printed in the Kingston Freeman (reminds me, gotta get a copy to you so you could add it to the long ago thread about the November 13 rally), and I was amazed that there are jews in the ISM (self-hating, of course). The fact that they can't admit to being jews to the people they are protecting/defending speaks for itself. Shame on them.

I say the more offensive we are in our signs, the better. There will only be a few of us, so let's really ruin their day!
