Collective Action against Zionist Fascism 

A member of the BASE community will give a report back on the Palestinian-led International Solidarity Movement. For more than two decades ISM has stood with Palestinian communities facing ethnic cleansing and displacement. In 2026, those communities are facing a murderous onslaught by fascist settler groups.

 The report back will also cover the 2025 Zaytoun campaign, an initiative to  support Palestinian communities collectively harvest their olives in the face of vicious settler attacks.

The talk will look at the history of ISM and give information on how to join the movement.
