I wouldn't be surprised if the ISO was involved with Palestine organizing
on campuses. The ISO has always found college campuses to be easy picking
for their brand of left evangelism. They jump on top of whatever the
protest cause of the moment happens to be. Their manipulation of the
student anti-war movement blew up in their faces, so, if they've learned
anything, they might be keeping their profile pretty low.

"...ironically, perhaps, the best organised dissenters in
the world today are anarchists, who are busily
undermining capitalism while the rest of the left is
still trying to form committees."
