Some have expressed "concerns" that linking the Palestinian Solidarity Movement (PSM) and the International Solidarity Movement (ISM) is a form of "conflation" or "confusion." This is patently false. Most likely, these "concerns" are attempts by ISM/PSM members to whitewash their past activities in a hope to appeal to (and fool) a wider audience. netWMD has collected voluminous documentation of the PSM/ISM's support for terrorism, illegal activities, and sometime enabling of terrorism. But let me dispel the notion that the ISM and PSM are not linked.

The Columbus PSM website lists Ora Wise as a “contact” for the group’s planned conference at Ohio State on November 7th – 9th (see archive). If you look up the terms “Ora Wise” and “International Solidarity Movement” on Google, you get 10 pages of results, with many websites explicitly stating that Ms. Wise is a member of the ISM. If Wise is a member of the ISM and a member of the PSM, then I would assume the two organizations are linked.

Here are some of the links regarding Ms. Wise and the PSM/ISM:
