The International Solidarity Movement (ISM) was founded as a peaceful resistance to that violence. Its highly visible actions, which have included breaking the sieges in Ramallah and Bethlehem, as well as saving countless lives, have shone a spotlight on Israel`s occupation. Outlawed in Israel and nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, the ISM has threatened the governing coalition with fears that Israeli opinion might at last be turning against them. In showing what risks Palestinians take, ISM volunteers have also tragically been targeted.

Collecting previously published news articles on the movement, giving accounts drawn from web-logs and diaries as they happened, and including last writings of the murdered American Rachel Corrie and contributions from the Humdall family, Peace Under Fire reveals the real horror of life under occupation and describes the first signs of a new wave of international solidarity....
