[ April 16, 2024 ]
In an unprecedented move, the city of San Francisco is placing craven ads right next to every one of our pro-Israel ads on San Francisco Muni buses. This is unprecedented in the history of outdoor advertising. This is the manifestation of Sharia in Western society. Any war on innocent civilians is savage. They are reading the idea that "all Muslims" or "all Arabs" want to destroy Israel into my ad. That is nowhere in my message. They are the Islamophobes and racists.
I will be running this counter ad to their counter ad:
The rush to assure the world that the "Palestinian" jihadists are not savages amazes me. The war on Israel is a war on innocent civilians. The targeting of civilians is savage. The relentless 60-year campaign of terror against the Jewish people is savage. The torture of hostage Gilad Shalit was savage. The bloody hacking to death of the Fogel family was savage. The Munich Olympic massacre was savage. The unspeakable torture of Ehud Goldwasser was savage. The tens of thousands of rockets fired from Gaza into southern Israel (into schools, homes, etc.) are savage. The vicious Jew-hatred behind this genocide is savage. The endless demonization of the Jewish people in the Palestinian and Arab media is savage. The refusal to recognize the state of Israel as a Jewish state is savage. The list is endless.
Story continues below advertisement
But what galls me are the scores of anti-Israel ads that ran without a disclaimer. Why didn't they have a problem with the anti-Jewish ads? San Francisco has run a number of anti-Israel ad campaigns. Why did they not run this disclaimer next to those ads? That silence is sanction and tacit approval. Institutionalized anti-semitism. Who cares if Muni approves the message or not? It is not their job to agree or disagree.
I want to extend this ad's run in San Francisco. Please help me do this. Contribute here.
You must watch this video. You couldn't make this up. Hamas-CAIR is instructing the San Francisco city government to take the money the city is donating (generated from my ad) to study the effects of this hate speech on the San Francisco population.
Muni condemns controversial bus ad ABC TV
SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — Muni has taken the unprecedented step of condemning one of the paid advertisements on several of its buses. It all started with a controversial ad in support of Israel that included some hot-button words like "jihad' and "savages." Friday, the transit agency got involved with its own counter-ad.
The dueling ads appear almost side-by-side on 10 Muni buses. The original ad popped up last week reading "In any war between the civilized man and the savage, support the civilized man. Support Israel. Defeat jihad."
Friday, Muni came back with its response — a bus card saying its policy prohibits discrimination and it condemns statements that describe any group as savages.
"Obviously we think the ads in place right now are repulsive and they definitely cross the line," Muni spokesperson Paul Rose said. "So there's not a lot we can do in light of the First Amendment."
The group behind the pro-Israel ad calls itself the American Freedom Defense Initiative. Pamela Geller of New York heads the group and she says she's now planning another Muni bus ad.
"Those ads will be calling out the institutionalized and systemic anti-Semitism of the government of San Francisco," she said. "They're clearly picking sides. They should be running disclaimers on every ad, not just mine."
The Council on American-Islamic Relations welcomes Muni's counter-ad as a step in the right direction.
"A lot of the damage has already been done; we have heard from many community members both at our organization and other organizations across the Bay Area who say they don't feel comfortable boarding the buses that carry these ads," CAIR spokesperson Zahra Billoo said.
Geller says the publicity has generated a few thousand dollars for her organization.
"We have seen an increase in fundraising, absolutely, absolutely," Geller said. "What do you think has paid for my counter ads to the discrimination ads that are running counter to my ads?"
"This is someone who's thriving on creating fear of millions, if not billions, of Arabs and Muslims across the world," Billoo said.
Geller says her Muni ad campaign cost about $5,000 and is her First Amendment right. Friday, CAIR sent a letter to Muni asking that the money be used to study the impact of what it calls "hate speech" on Muslim residents of San Francisco.
KGO doesn't tell you that Hamas-CAIR is an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror funding case — so named by the Justice Department. Nor do they mention that CAIR operatives have repeatedly refused to denounce Hamas and Hizballah as terrorist groups. They say nothing about how several former CAIR officials have been convicted of various crimes related to jihad terror. Nor do they mention that CAIR’s cofounder and longtime Board chairman (Omar Ahmad), as well as its chief spokesman (Ibrahim Hooper), have made Islamic supremacist statements, or that its California chapter distributed posters telling Muslims not to talk to the FBI.

Great idea and I am happy to see it working. Folks in California need to really wake up fast to the direct threat Islam and Jihad holds for them. It is savage, it is pre historic and it is evil. We will need to make a contribution too.

Muslims, Arabs, Islam were not even mentioned in Pamela’s add but the shoe fit so they put it on and identified themselves as savages. Lol

No comment from the SF Muslim community on the actual violence caused here and in Israel by anti-Jewish/anti-Israel hate speech generated by the “Palestinians.” SF Muslims are horribly offended by the word savage but deathly silent about the killings in the name of Allah.

Wow, and so it rages on.
It is beyond belief that terrorist affiliates such as “Hamas-CAIR is an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror funding case — so named by the Justice Department” are in a position to pull the strings of a bunch of suicidal dhimmi politicians in San Francisco. Unbelievable. If San Francisco politicians are seen to be kowtowing to terrorist affils such as CAIR, then people should demand there be an investigation.
Good wording for new advert there Pamela (I hope people continue to donate).

Despicable! You are so slick CAIR spokeswoman: “Allot of the damage has already been done” and “Not comfortable boarding the buses that carry these ads.” Really! What a fraud! How comfortable were the victims in Israel who were slaughtered on buses bombed by these “Savages” of Jihad?

Thats the way Pam, hit em, then hit em again and keep hitting em until they get the message – the days when they could close down debate about muslims crimes by screaming “Racism” are OVER. If that bug eyed loony in the headbag pops up again [man, does SHE look sixpence short of a shilling] get somebody to seek her comments about the Fogel atrocity or child grooming and forced prostitution in all western countries.
Our ammo is plentiful, our hearts are true, our heritage long and noble and well worth defending, and were going to do it, starting now.

I’d suggest you run the original ad that reads:
“Israeli war crimes. Your tax dollars at work.”
and put a disclaimer ad like that by SF by its side.
Would be interesting if copyright stands in the way of my suggestion.

Lord Sacks resigns from interfaith charity
Chief Rabbi Lord Sacks has resigned as patron of an interfaith charity after it circulated an anti-Israel campaign to members and encouraged them to lobby against the country.
Lord Sacks said he was unable to continue working with the Wyndham Place Charlemagne Trust after it sent supporters details of an initiative organised by the Quaker Council for European Affairs that attacks European Union trade links with Israel.
The WPCT’s newsletter encouraged the signing of a petition set up by the European Co-ordination of Associations and Committees for Palestine, a non-profit group which works with Palestinian NGOs.
In last Thursday’s message to supporters, WPCT included the suggested wording of a letter for campaigners to send to MEPs.
The thrust of the “action alert” concerns the EU’s proposed adoption of an agreement with Israel on pharmaceutical products.
The Palestinian pharmaceutical industry is “a prisoner of the Israeli system” and West Bank companies suffer from Israeli occupation, the activists claim.
The campaign aims to stop the EU adopting the agreement and bar Israeli companies from benefiting from preferential relations with the EU.

Lord Sacks eventually finds his conscience and backbone….took a while, but nonetheless…Good

Pamela, the truth must get out there. Thank you for your bravery and persistence. Of course, we won’t win until a huge awakening takes place. In what form that will be, only God knows, but people deserve at least to be confronted with the truth. As always, you can bring a horse to the water, but you can’t force it to drink. Keep up the work!

A lot of people don’t even watch the news or read any news except
TMZ, etc. so they do not know–even persons in power positions, sad to say–
they just assume stuff.
Israel is a great country whose borders were established after WW2 for
good righteous reasons. This is what I have always been taught–but if it’s not being taught in schools anymore, then anything goes : (

jean vercors-
What a fraud! How comfortable were the victims in Israel who were slaughtered on buses bombed by these “Savages” of Jihad?
More to the point, jean, is CAIR does not seem to endure any discomfort when Jews are murdered on buses, in nightclubs, … whereever.

You noted Pamela’s courage. Many on this board probably already realize that one of her main expenses is for protection.

IndyBay, a local SF radical website, has a photo of one of the bus ads that has been altered by an “artist” with a “Hate Speech” stamp painted over the text.

I think Pamela should go on Michael Savage’s talk show, The Savage Nation, and explain this situation. Savage (Michael Weiner) is based in San Francisco.

@Ronald Satz
Right. I agree. I listen to him too. He’s great. One thing though I don’t understand why he has never (not to my knowledge) ever mentioned Pamela or her victory with the ads in SF. Why haven’t you invited Pamela on the show, Michael? This is the time to unite in the fight over these monsters.

@Rainer:
You DO realize that you want her to run THEIR Anti-Israel ads in order to run a disclaimer?
SORRY ! NO GO!
That’s an INSULT to Pamela’s and our intelligence to think you can cleverely “dupe” her .
In fact you’re what’s called a CONCERN TROLL.

The liberal Muslim woman said “millions if not billions of Muslims (are offended)” Oh really? There are billions of Muslims? Let’s make up our own minds based on the evidence. We all have brains, CAIR, don’t tell us what to think. The evidence clearly points to Islam producing savages. Statistics of murders and every conceivable crime clearly shows Islam to be pure savagery. In fact I don’t even have side with Israel to clearly see that Muslims around the world are unwashed, defiled savages capable of the most heinous crimes and truly actively funding the most heinous crimes.
Its their double-speak that says otherwise. Because when an act of savagery is committed against a non-Muslim it is equated to the greatest good any human could ever achieve!
I am pro-Israel and believe Islam has no right to assert their will on that nation.

CAIR seems to be afraid that Muslims will be associated with Jihad.
Too late for that.
9/11, Fort Hood, 1993 bombing of WTC, bombing of Pan Am 103, current day slavery in Sudan, murder of Coptic Christians in Egypt, death threats on writer Salman Rushdie, death threats on Danish cartoonists, death threats on South Park cartoon, “palestinian” assassination of US Senator Robert F. Kennedy, 20,000 dead in Syria by Islamists.
CAIR has an image problem, of their own making.

That whole city is whacked out, non-American, haven to every mentally ill, deranged, crackpot nutjob and political philosophy out there, except real Americanism.
I know, I used to live there. The only place where at one time,the whole city went on strike, including the police, leaving the citizenry vulnerable and without normal law enforcement protection.
They pander to the degenerates. At some point, you’ll be penalized if you don’t marry someone of your gender, even if you’re straight. It will be a requirement.
A beautiful city, with un-beautiful people. Last refuge of the refuse of humanity, and by that I don’t mean, Emma Lazarus’ refuse.
These are mostly the people whose ancestors Customs should have refused and turned back over a hundred years ago.
The city is beautiful; the people are a blight upon the United States.
It seems that it has only gotten worse.
