the ISM org. is relatively new and within itself acknowledges this.
since many of its volunteers do not speak arabic much of the group relies on the contact local palestinians to delegate responsibility and oversee who the internationals deal with.
after the death of past ISM volunteer members it has since worked to reform its policy of non-violent direct action... to non-violent observation.
in many recent cases ISM volunteers have been arrested and deported for merely observing the situation (non-violent protests against "the wall") and not actively participation in direct actions.
