Non Muslims helping Muslims

If you are a non Muslim and want to help Muslims, particularly in Palestine, you have to wait your turn in line. The International Solidarity Movement (ISM), to cite one example, was created as an international team which included Israeli citizens - prized because they could not be denied entry into Israel.

They collaborated with Palestinian terrorists to thwart Israeli attempts at security; harassing Israeli guards at checkpoints; dismantling road blocks; providing alibis for wanted Palestinians; sitting in houses slated by Israel for demolition, and acting as couriers. The list is in no way complete.

Readers can use a search engine to find out about Sabeel, the Israeli Committee Against Housing Demolitions (ICHAD); Women in Black (WIB); Machsom (checkpoint) Watch; GISHA; Gush Shalom and Tayyoush. Again the list is not complete, and again these are non Muslims helping Muslims.

The recent successful attempts to enter Gaza via its Mediterranean border was masterminded and executed by non-Muslims (with a few exceptions) in the FreeGaza movement.

They are the modern day equivalent of Lenin's useful idiots.
