Choose Love: Defeat Jihad — Pamela Geller, Jewish Voice

28

The Huff Pos, the Daily Beast, LA Times and other shills for Islamic supremacists are working overtime to twist the narrative surrounding our ads, in the hopes that America will come to embrace the most brutal, bloody and oppressive war doctrine on the face of the earth, jihad. They tried to do the very same thing with the Ground Zero mosque, but the American people weren't having any of that, either.

America will never embrace 9/11, 7/7, 3/11, the Times Square bomber, the Christmas day bomber, the slaughter of Christians in Egypt, Indonesia, Nigeria, Sudan, et al., Mumbai, the Libyan act of war on our embassy, Fort Hood jihad, etc.

Here is my editorial in The Jewish Voice. Big media refuses to run my commentary. They know most folks agree with us.

Choose Love: Defeat Jihad
Pamela Geller, Jewish Voice

There are now three separate ad campaigns devoted to opposing my pro-Israel ad in New York subways, and more are coming.

My ad reads: “In any war between the civilized man and the savage,
support the civilized man. Support Israel. Defeat Jihad.” Some Jewish
and Christian groups have called this message hateful, and have decided
to put up counter-ads that they say are more “loving.”

One of these ads says, “help stop bigotry against our Muslim
neighbors.” Another: “love your Muslim neighbor.” And a third: “support
peace in word and deed.” Rabbi Jill Jacobs of Rabbis for Human Rights
explained: “We, as an organization of rabbis want to make it clear to New York and to the U.S. that neither rabbis nor the mainstream Jewish
community support this dehumanization, but in fact we value partnership
with our Muslim neighbors and Muslim organizations.”
Jihad unhealthy

These rabbis have good intentions. But is my ad really “bigoted” and
“dehumanizing”? Or does it just state unpleasant facts? The jihad
against Israel is a jihad against innocent civilians, and the targeting
of civilians is indeed 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.

I am all for countering hate. The ad speaks to the defense of freedom
and individual rights for all. There’s nothing hateful about it. 9/11
was hate. 3/11 in Madrid was hate. 7/7 in London was hate. The Fort Hood
jihadi was hate. The Christmas underwear bomber was hate. The Fort Dix Six was hate. Pushing back against such hate is not hate.

I doubt that the rabbis in Rabbis for Human Rights know anything
about the jihad doctrine that relentlessly seeks to violently impose
islamic law and pursues jihad against non-muslims, or about the Islamic
antisemitism that is deeply ingrained in the qur’an and sunnah, and that
identifies the Jews as the worst enemies of the Muslims (qur’an 5:82)
and under allah’s curse (qur’an 9:30). When have they spoken out against
that hate, because of which Jews suffer daily? When have they called
upon Muslim leaders to reform the qur’an and expunge its virulently
antisemitic texts, which are routinely quoted on Palestinian Authority TV as justifying endless warfare against the state of Israel and Jews
everywhere? What topsy-turvy moral compass have they employed to come to
the conclusion that the “hater” is not the imams who routinely preach
violence and antisemitism in mosques and on TV in Judea, Samaria and Gaza, but me when I try to call attention to the barbaric cruelty of the
jihad against Israel?

And that barbaric cruelty is a constant of Muslim history. Don’t
believe me – take it from Rambam, Moses Maimonides, the preeminent
medieval Jewish philosopher and one of the greatest Torah scholars and
physicians of the Middle Ages. He wrote about the “people of Ishmael,”
that is, the Muslims, “whose oppressiveness is firmly upon us and they
connive to do us wrong and despicably downgrade us as the Almighty
decreed against us (Deuteronomy 32:31, ‘Your enemies shall judge
you’)….There never came against Israel a more antagonistic nation. They
oppress us with the most oppressive measures to lessen our number,
reduce us, and make us as despicable as they themselves are.”

Will these rabbis condemn Maimonides as a “bigot”? Or will they
recognize that he was speaking out of the reality of his experience, and
that Muslim behavior toward the jews in israel shows that many Muslims
still believe the same way as did the Muslims whom Maimonides
encountered?

Leading Jewish voices like Caroline Glick, Martin Sherman, Paul
Schnee, Steve Goldberg and Lori Lowenthal-Marcus support my ad. So this
shows the diversity of opinion within Judaism, which is a notable
contrast to the Muslim community – where are the moderate Muslims
speaking out in support of my ad?

It is also important to remember that these “faith groups” that are
opposing my ad say nothing in the face of the mass slaughter and ethnic
cleansing of their own people at the hands of savage Muslim jihadis.
When have these interfaith groups spoken out against the virulent
antisemitic and genocidal rhetoric coming from Iran and jihad groups
arrayed against Israel? When have they spoken out against the
persecution of Christians in Pakistan, Indonesia, Egypt, Iraq and
elsewhere? When have they spoken up for Hindus in Bangladesh, Bahais in
Iran, and other persecuted religious minorities?

Their moral myopia is immense. They are confusing resistance to hatred with actual hatred.

Wake up. I am not the problem. You want to fight against “hate,”
fight against the barbaric jihadis who glory in the torture and murder
of children, not against me.

One wonders if rabbi jill jacobs has been to Israel. If she has, did she recall the scan of her luggage and her having to pass through a metal detector. Has she ever been to an Israeli movie theater or supermarket where they check one’s bags for bombs or weapons. She probably has been on domestic airline flights in the US where her luggage is scanned. Could she explain why that is done? Is DHS worried about Amish terrorists or Swedish grandmothers or Hadassah ladies?

I was wondering when some one would put those words togather, instead of war, because jihad IS WAR. Now who will wear the first tea shirt with these words on them in public?

Islam has always been, and always will be, savage. It is impossible for it to be anything but, because it’s founder was savage. His followers have always done as he and his imagined allah commanded. Why is this even up for discussion when it’s illustrated all around us, and now all over the world? This “religion” states that I am to be executed because I am gay. It calls Jewish people monkeys and pigs and for their destruction. It’s founder calls for nothing short of world domination through force, and complete and utter intolerance for any other religion. It calls for execution of anyone daring to leave it. It is nothing but the most hateful, violent, SAVAGE cult that man has ever created.

You’re beginning to worry me Pamela. Do you really believe these pacifist “faith groups” Rabis or whatever really understand what we’re dealing with here in the pure savagery of Jihad? How can you even entertain their ignorance in these matters? Will love defeat Jihad? How does that work? How would this be for a WWII ad, “Choose Love: Defeat Hitler”?
No, we’re in a war against Jihad not a sit-in or hunger strike. Our lingo should reflect that.

I am realizing that the reason it’s so hard to argue against the the people who oppose Pamela Geller is that they always argue against what she did NOT say.
Who said not to respect your neighbors? Nobody here. This is an argument about ideology. I wonder if those who see bigotry in the ad and the blog aren’t just bigoted themselves. There’s no reasonable explanation for them all seeing what isn’t there.

Hey, Pamela.
You might want to post a correction/clarification to the publishers of this:
http://www.friatider.se/israel-bor-atombomba-europa
The editor in chief, Mr. Widar Nord, can be reached at: [email protected]
First off, Fria Tider (FT) is an IMO desperately needed paleoconservative, anti-PC “samizdat” web magazine in Sweden, and probably the most or second-most popular at that. They don’t need lawsuits, they just need to be told once and for all to lay off the shameless tabloid nonsense that one or some of their authors like to push seemingly in order to attract the “Jews are behind multi-culturalism and islamization” crowd. As opposed to the MSM, they actually post corrections from time to time.
My translation of the article follows:

Great statement of the truth that is so hard for so many apologists, appeasers and apparent cowards to see.
I spent years before and after the jihad attack of September 11, 2001 listening to the endless monotonous appeals of the manifold de-centralized Islamic conspiracy of victimization, trying to be compassionate, at least in my own mind. When I saw the effort of American Muslims to establish a mosque at the very site of the 9/11 attack I was shocked. Shocked into awareness of what I was seeing. That potential act of obvious and brazen disrespect for New York City and all Americans was where I finally said enough of the sympathy for Muslims. They don’t deserve it. They’re only using everyone who believes them in the most cynical ways.
It’s a shame of the magnitude that only this new millennium world can conjure that Pamela Geller has continually to defend herself against charges of “bigotry” (who cares?!!!) as she fights our battles for the freedoms we all would say we cherish as they’re being threatened on a daily basis by virulent radical Islam.

Excellent. So, NYT, Wash Post, Wash Times, New York Post, etc all turned down your rebuttal? Wow, that is pretty abysmal? How can so many people in positions of media power keep their eyes wide shut to the obvious? Is there no one in the MSM that will betray the lie that so want to be true? I hear Lara Logan opened her eyes and did not like what she saw.

All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
– Edmund Burke
Christians should “have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but (also) reprove them” (Ephesians 5:11).
Those Christians who are silent when there is sin and evil around them are in fact partakers with those that do evil (Ephesians 5:7).
WND says this in a recent article, What we face today in America is worse than “good men doing nothing.” More times than not it’s “good men” in the name of political correctness or out of cowardliness holding others back from speaking out against evil.
Should we all remember at this point in our history Martin Niemöller(1892-1984) who was a Protestant pastor during Adolf Hitler’s killing spree. He arose as a spoken public foe of Hitler while others said nothing. For the last seven years of Hitler’s rule, Niemöller was imprisoned in a Nazi concentration camp.
He is best remembered for this quote:
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out – because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out – because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out – because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me – and there was no one left to speak for me.

Help Stop Bigotry against our Muslim neighbors sounds great.
Now will Rabbi Jill (Jill??), also sponsor a poster that says
Help Stop Bigotry against our Jewish neighbors??
Or even Help Stop the slaughter of Jews being perpetrated by our Muslim neighbors.
How about it Jill?
As a side note I must confess that I cannot get used to the idea of a Rabbi named Jill? What next? Will it be Rabbi Buffy?,Rabbi Candy?
Only in America.

“America will NEVER accept 9/11, 7/7, 3/11, the Times Square Bomber, the Christmas Day Bomber, Mumbai, perseuction of Christians…” we wish. i certianly never will. but i’m not so certian bout our leftist media and politicans. they certinaly seem to wanta cave in to thier demands for sharia, muslim protection, etc. we lareayd give tons of jiyza money to the very people who hate us, like the so-called “Palestinains” and “Pakistanis” (both of whom CELEBRATED 9/1 and the deaths of our people on that day). still theres always hope more people more waking up eveyr day.

Maimonides ultimately was forced to leave Al Andalus (Spain) when he was given the choice of: conversion to islam, exile or death. A choice that had nothing to do w/intolerant Christians. Many Christians and Jews weren’t given a three part choice.

Well, since you mention it, I privately think of each of the rabbis that spoke out against Pamela as “Rabbi Candy Ass”
I’m not Jewish myself, but know enough about Judaism to know that a real rabbi would be against jihad.

Well said.
As far as the “choose love not Hitler” comment, some folk seem to miss
the fact that Hitler was not involved in a deceptive, white washing worldwide
p.r. campaign which gives solace to even many Muslim to help console their
own conscience while they kid themselves and the rest do the dirty work that their religious Scripture requires.

So, if we don’t use love to defeat jihad, and it must be defeated, what is our plan of action? What exactly is it that must be done with Muslims and Islam? I keep reading ‘defeat’ and I’m not sure how this is supposed to happen. I’m pretty curious as to why I’ve never actually heard or read any action items in response to jihad. I usually just keep hearing about how bad and awful it is, which no one can deny. Someone… explain!
