. May 2, 2003 ISM Nominated for Nobel Peace Prize – Letter of Nomination To: The Norwegian Nobel CommitteeDrammensveien 190255 Oslo NorwayDear Committee Members,AS a member of the House of Commons of Canada, and as the International Human Rights advocate for the New Democratic Party of Canada, it is my pleasure to nominate the International Solidarity Movement (ISM) for the 2004 Nobel Peace Prize.The contribution of the ISM to advancing the cause of peace in the Middle East, to defending

human rights, and to upholding international law is without parallel. This organization’s selfless efforts to promote peace and protect the lives of innocent civilians in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict clearly merit international recognition.Although this nomination is for the ISM as a whole, three young individuals merit particular recognition for the courage and resolve they displayed in their acts of non-violent civil disobedience in defence of peace and human rights in the Palestinian

Occupied Territories.These individuals are Brian Avery and Tom Hurndall, who miraculously survived sniper shots to the head by Israeli forces while they were defending Palestinian civilians from Israeli troops, and Rachel Corrie, who was crushed to death by an Israeli Defence Force bulldozer while attempting to prevent the demolition of the home of an innocent Palestinian family.A Nobel Peace Prize for the ISM would be a fitting testament to the fortitude and principle exemplified by the

members of this organization and these three individuals in particular.Thank you for accepting this nomination.Sincerely yours,Svend J Robinson, MP Last e-mail home of US student Rachel Corrie, crushed to death trying to stop the illegal destruction of Palestinian homes (Her Israeli murderer has still not been charged) | Israeli Army tanks fire on American, Palestinian memorial demo for Rachel Corrie | Like Tienanmen Square, but different ending Israeli Army Bulldozer crushes U.S.
