VIDEO: CBS News on Great Neck Synagogue Cancellation of Pamela Geller Talk

30

Notice how CBS runs Geller footage with no audio. Here is the statement I gave to CBS:

Due to relentless intimidation, bullying and threats, the Great Neck
Synagogue is cancelling my talk at the Great Neck Synagogue on Sunday.
Ironically,
the subject of my talk was the war on free speech, and this incident
shows how urgently this topic needs to be discussed. Leftist thugs, pushed and prodded by Islamic supremacist Habeeb Ahmed
and his co-conspirators, threatened a march on the shul (among other
things).

It is a very sad day for freedom-loving peoples when fascist tactics
trump free speech. This reinforces a terrible precedent: that Islamic supremacists and leftists can get whatever they want, and silence their opponents, by keeping up pressure on decent people until they cave in. In America, they don't assassinate their foes, but they assassinate their character. While I understand the synagogue's action, I deplore the cancellation. It shows the inroads that Islamic supremacists and leftists are making in their larger war on the freedom of speech. It hands a victory to thugs and foes of the freedom of speech, as well as the other freedoms and rights that I am dedicated to defending.

Story continues below advertisement

In mosques and Islamic centers, the most vitriolic jihad supporters and preachers of hate speak freely. No one complains. No one demonstrates. No one utters a word of protest. But my work that has been consistently in defense of human rights is not allowed to be given a hearing. Mine is a message of freedom, and that message has been forbidden.

HOW is the “leadership” of “Great Neck Synagogue’ sleeping tonight?
Tommorrow morning they’ll be looking in that mirror ,and WHAT will they see?
The image they SHOULD see is themselves in a STRIPED NAZI Concentration Camp Prisoner “uniform”,with a BIG YELLOW STAR on their chest.
They are cowards’ COWARDS.
Let the Lefty/Jihadis march.
That’s WHAT the GREAT NECK POLICE are there for.
Also,the LEFTIES probably had their Government Stooges THREATEN the synagogue’s 501 C-3 Tax Exempt status and probably all kinds of other pressures that they would NOT DARE to pull on any other religions’ Religious Institutions.
After all,That’s WHAT Democratic Officeholders do.

This represents a failure by this synagogue to take a moral stand for what is right. That’s a great message to send to your congregation, isn’t it? – When confronted by bullys who try to intimidate you from disseminating the truth, bow down to them like slaves. If you can’t find moral guidance and clarity from your synagogue, what’s the point in attending? I’m sure the elders of this synagogue spout off platitudes like “we must never forget” and “never again” when discussing the Holocaust. Real couragous of them. But when it comes to confronting a real enemy in the hear and now, they behave like the sheep that they are.

The real question is, why aren’t these rabbis and Jewish leaders doing what Pam is doing, in the first place ?

Exactly, and during the week of Holocaust Remembrance Day! The pre-teens and teenagers must be thoroughly confused, if not sickened by what this decision portends and exemplifies.
By the way, note, they will confront their own but not their enemies, and so, the recent Obama supporters , the Jewish leaders wrote their appeasement letter.

American Jews are soft and corrupt. They are going down the drown, what with their shallowness and materialism, self-centeredness and slavish devotion to liberalism. They stand by while the Democratic Convention savages Israel’s position that Jerusalem is its capital, and they still vote Democratic. They give awards to anti-semites like Jimmy Carter, and they look the other way while their beloved Obama nominates an anti-semite. Every once in a while Rip Van Foxman wakes up and says something meaningful about something done by anti-semites, and then he goes back to snoring. Jews generously fund the pro-Islamic pro-terrorist hate group, the Southern Poverty Law Center, which does nothing but attack people like Pamela while doing almost nothing meaningful to fight poverty or bigotry.
This is becoming a very depraved country.

Absolutely despicable – there are no words strong enough to condemn Great Neck Synagogue for bowing to these thugs!

Disgusting that a so-called “synagogue” would do this to another Jew. But when Yeshiva University bows down to the dhimmi god, to give Carter an award why should we expect any more from people who have prostituted themselves for the non-existant “Goldene Medina” of America?
True Jews, and that includes you, Pamela, have a country and it’s called ERETZ ISRAEL! If you love your fellow Jews and IsraeL, COME HOME and HELP those who deserve it. Overwhelm the “occupied territories” with your Jewish presence. “Every place your feet trod, I will give you” Deuteronomy 11:23-25
Just come, there will be no need for “negotiations.”

I’m really not surprised at all, same is happening in the UK. Their enemies say “jump” they say, “how far”? The manipulators know exactly which buttons to press. It is also compulsory that during their attendance at Interfaith group meetings, they have their spines surgically removed!
True Jewish fighting spirit and spines are thin on the ground these days. Too many now are scared of their own shadows, which makes them their own worse enemy.
Thank heavens those who lost their lives fighting for their right to a Jewish homeland in the bygone years didn’t possess the same weak-minded mentality or take a leaf out of their spineless book!
Sorry to hear this Pamela, but it may be a good idea to do exactly what a poster further up/down suggested. Make a video. Do your speech that way.

I am sorry to say but…
I doubt that the talk would have been cancelled only due to Islamic pressure. My guess is that the Jewish/liberal/anti-Zionist voices who are against Pamela Geller must have had more influence on the synagogue than anybody else and I bet that they are the ones who really made the pressure unbearable. I think that it is these voices, voices from among us, that tipped the balance.
Someone prove me wrong please, because I would like again to lift my head up and be proud to be Jewish.
This is history in the making an heads are again bowed down at the synagogue, but not in prayer. I feel heart broken… I grew up believing NEVER AGAIN… But maybe it was not realistic. Shame.

Meanwhile, ex-president Carter, who more than anybody else engraved in the world perception of Israel the association Israel/Apartheid is going to collect this week a prize bestowed on him by a Yeshiva University, the Cardozo School of Law, the “International Advocate for Peace Award.”
Shame again…
The problem is among us, really. How did we raise our children?
They say in prayer Next year in Jerusalem… but Jerusalem seems to have lost its meaning for them.

I think those people live in fear of their own shadow. Barely 70 years since the fall of Nazism, the new Islamo-Nazis are on the march driven by their hatred and fuelled by oil money and cheered on by the hard left and simpering spineless fools.
Those who fail to learn from the lessons of history are condemmend to relive them.
The less this is talked about the bigger the bang is going to be.

The purpose of religion is not to create girly man cowards…But you would hardly know that by some religious peoples actions…Bowing in cowardly subservience to Allah, a Man does not make…It insults your manhood, opposes your religion and means slavery…
Talk about the ‘Fall of Man’, your looking at it…

I too grew up believing NEVER AGAIN meant NEVER AGAIN! I am heartbroken and furious beyond words. To think, I actually thought that the synagogue would stand firm, stand strong and stand for Freedom. Silly me. Pamela, I have no adequate words to offer you but please know how much you are loved and respected by many of us and by G-D. You remain a bright light in the darkness. Shalom.

Yep. Truly sickening. And, as you say, it does send confusing and mixed messages to the youth attending that synagogue.

Take heart, Pamela. Appalling as this cowardly act is, it is another indication of how much the s.o.b.s fear you – and, of course, how terrified they are of the truth: some people might actually realize how they are being deluged with lies from the media, CAIR, etc., etc. These “liberal” traitors to their heritage probably look back at the Holocaust with a certain nostalgia. When the next Holocaust arrives, thanks to the islamo-fascists, they will justify it – after all, the Jews will have brought it on themselves, right?
Alas, where is Meir Kahane, now that we need him so badly?

What about the islamonazis who constantly rant and rave about destroying Israel and pushing the Jews into the sea? After all, aren’t they kinda the root cause of all this?

THe head honchos of the SPLC are paid very well to decide who and what constitutes a hate group, often with no justification whatsoever (except perhaps more donor checks from islamonazi NGO’s).
