Interview of Joshua Brown, ISM activist, by Jean Cushman. Joshua Brown traveled to Palestine as a member of the International Solidarity Movement. Through non-violent direct action, ISM works toward an end to the occupation of Palestine. ISM challenges the Israeli military at checkpoints to permit the passage of ambulances or people in need of food and other necessities; participates in workshops for children; protects the human rights of Palestinians. These internationals put their lives on the line to support the Palestinian's aspirations for freedom. Further, they bring back testimony and documentation of the inhuman living conditions of the Palesitnians suffering under Israeli rule in the occupied territories.
