Pamela Geller, WND Column: ADL ‘covering for annihilationists’

DEFENDING THE WEST 

Jewicidals doing the work of jihadists
Exclusive: Pamela Geller accuses ADL of 'covering for annihilationists'

The notorious Anti-Defamation League (ADL) is taking a break from
denouncing Joan Rivers, Seth MacFarlane and Glenn Beck and is actually
condemning, although timidly, the vicious Jewish blood libel running on
ads that are sponsored by American Muslims for “Palestine” (AMP) – but
not before denouncing our American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI)
counter campaign (which I wrote about in my Monday column).
The Anti-Defamation League denounced us despite the fact that ours is
the only truly effective response to the Nazi-like tactics of American
Muslim groups that are on a jihad against the Jews.

The ADL is outraged by the repulsive anti-Semitic ads AMP is running
and by the fact that the Islamic supremacists unveiled these ads as
Passover began. The ADL issued a statement about the anti-Semitic ads:
“Their ad campaign ignores the complicated nature of the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict and is part of the campaign to delegitimize
and demonize the Jewish state. It shows a profound lack of sensitivity
that they chose the first day of the Jewish holiday of Passover to
announce this malicious and false ad campaign.”

They had to say something about the Nazi-like propaganda
campaign against Israel to justify the millions of dollars they
unjustifiably raise. This is an egregious anti-Semitic act, and if the
ADL were silent, they would lose millions. So they make a feeble
statement, while the Jews are actually left out to dry. What is that
about “the complicated nature of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict”? The
war on the Jewish state is not at all complicated. There is nothing
complicated about the Hamas charter; there is nothing complicated about
the Islamic Jew-hatred that is commanded in the Quran; and there is
nothing complicated about the 1,400 years of oppression, subjugation and
persecution of Jews in Muslim lands.

There is nothing complicated about the refusal of the Muslims in Gaza
and Judea and Samaria, and in Muslim countries around the world, to
recognize the Jewish state. There is nothing complicated about the blood
libels that have been manufactured throughout history to demonize and
dehumanize the Jewish people. Such dehumanization leads to … genocide.

So here yet again, the ADL’s condemnation falls far short of what it should be. Why is the ADL covering for annihilationists?

Charles Jacobs and Ilya Feoktistov noted last year
that the ADL “has adopted a policy, consistent with the progressive
agenda, not to speak up much about the global tsunami of Muslim
anti-Semitism, but instead to campaign against ‘Islamophobia.’ This
while FBI statistics show that hate crimes against Jews in America are
five times the number of hate crimes against Muslims.”

Jacobs and Feoktistov point out that ADL leader Abraham Foxman’s
“policy has led the ADL to stand with people and organizations whose
mission it is to defame and harm Jews. To defend its policy of
‘outreach,’ the Anti-Defamation League vigorously defames as ‘bigots’
citizens who question radical Islamists’ true aims.” The ADL does not
have the back of those of us who are doing the heavy lifting in this
ugly, dirty war. It attempts to marginalize pro-Jewish voices who might
draw away their donors. But AFDI does more with a nickel than the ADL
does with a million dollars, and their charade is becoming increasingly
transparent to the Jewish community.

In line with that, the ADL attacked our earlier ads giving the number
of Islamic jihad attacks since 9/11 (over 20,000 worldwide now),
falsely claiming that the ads seemed to “stereotype an entire religion
based on the acts of extremists.”

And in March 2012, Foxman charged that I am “in many ways no better
than Farrakhan or Buchanan.” I am proud of my work as a patriot and a
passionate Zionist; to be compared to Jew-haters by a man who styles
himself a leader of the Jews is abominable. So now, defending free
society from an ideology that makes war against free speech and equal
rights for women and non-Muslims is “bigotry.” Defending Jews from an
ideology that features a more deeply ingrained and violent anti-Semitism
than any other in the world is “hatred.”

Read the rest. Go.

Who made the ADL the moral arbiters of anything? All I see is a bunch of whacked out Leftists whose ideas implemented through government policy has led directly to the problems at hand.

“LACK OF SENSITIVITY” is what ADL calls it?
IT WAS DELIBERATE!
By ADL’s “standards” the YOM KIPPUR ATTACK on ISRAEL was”insensative” rather than an ASSAULT on Israel’s EXISTENCE at the very time they THOUGHT Israel would be MOST VULNERABLE!

Here below is the letter Frimet submitted – and that was rejected at the New York Times. Please consider passing it along to your friends, particularly those friends who read the Times and fall victim to its highly selective presentation – over many years – of the realities of the conflict between the Arabs and Israel.
Jerusalem
March 20, 2013
The Editors,
NY Times
Ben Ehrenreich’s article [“Is This Where the Third Intifada Will Start?”] is a brazen quest for confirmation of his preconceptions about the Palestinian Israeli conflict: politics blended with fantasy and embellished with every tear-jerking cliche in the book. Smiling, frolicking children; poetic “activists”; generous hostesses plying their delicacies at every turn. It is a bucolic scene that is frequently painted in anti-Israel publications. But how does the NY Times publish a piece that plays so fast and loose with fact and history?
Sadly, I am well-equipped to offer some corrections and details omitted by Ehrenreich.
Ahlam Tamimi, the villager whom Ehrenreich described as a woman who “escorted a suicide bomber“, is in fact the self-confessed engineer and planner of a bloody terrorist attack. By her own account and after several scouting forays, Tamimi selected a target: the Sbarro restaurant in the heart of Jerusalem, on a hot August afternoon in 2001.
Tamimi has said she chose it because she knew it would be teeming at the appointed hour with women and children. She transported the bomb, enhanced with nails and bolts to maximize the carnage, from Ramallah across the Qalandia security checkpoint and into Israel’s capital. Israeli soldiers still waived females through without inspection in those days.
Tamimi and her weapon, the bomber, both dressed in Western garb and chatting in English to appear as tourists, strolled through the city center. At the entrance to Sbarro, she briefed him on where and when to detonate, instructing that he wait 15 minutes to allow her a safe getaway. Fifteen men, women and children were murdered that afternoon. My teenage daughter Malki was among them. Ehrenreich, who writes warmly about Nabi Saleh’s children, displays a cold detachment when relating to the bombing’s victims, the youngest of whom was two years old: “Fifteen people were killed, eight of them minors.”
Tamimi, on the other hand, has focused hard on the children. Filmed in an Israeli prison, she smiled broadly when an interviewer informed her that 8 children were murdered, and not merely the 3 she had known about. Since her release in the 2011 Gilad Shalit deal, Tamimi has repeatedly and publicly boasted of her deed, adding: “I have no regrets. I would do it again.”
Tamimi has always lived in Amman, other than two years in Nabi Saleh while attending university. Israel ‘exiled’ (to adopt Ehrenreich’s term) her to Jordan where her father and brothers reside. Since her release she married another Tamimi, also a convicted murderer freed in the Shalit deal. He too is a home-town hero in Nabi Saleh. The host of her own weekly show on Hamas TV, she travels freely throughout the Arab world to address her many fans, accepting accolades and trophies while urging others to follow in her footsteps.
For a mother to bury her loving, gentle child is torture. To watch the murderer walk triumphantly free and enjoy life rubs salt into that wound every day. But to see the NY Times gloss over this travesty of justice with a cover story that showcases this woman’s many admirers in Nabi Saleh – that is journalism of the most amoral sort. You ought to be ashamed of it.

The ADL is falling into the same trap of overblown self-importance as the SPLC with an accompanying loss of fulfilling of its original mission.
