The esteemed Charles Jacobs, President of Americans for Peace and Tolerance, is a tireless human rights activist whose groundbreaking work and activism has set the example for those who take up the fight in defense of freedom. I am humbled by his article in support of my work.
Pamela Geller, Jewish heroine Charles Jacobs, The Jewish Advocate, May 10, 2013
I
’ve been thinking about writing this piece for months. I’m not happy
with myself for putting it off. When you know you’ll get blasted for
doing something that’s right, not everyone rushes immediately to do the
right thing. I’m not proud for hesitating.Story continues below advertisementI
should have thrown my public support – for whatever it’s worth – to
Pamela Geller a long time ago. President of the American Freedom Defense
Initiative and publisher of the widely read blog Atlas Shrugs, Geller
is one of the most courageous Jewish women of our time. That’s because,
in a time of cowardice, she says the plain truth about things that so
many want so much not to hear that they have made the plain truth a
taboo. Like a good Jew, Pamela breaks icons. And for that she gets
ostracized, and cursed, and threatened with bodily harm and worse.Pamela
Geller thinks Radical Islam is a threat to Western civilization and
that our politically correct leaders who persist in being willfully
blind are endangering us all. Having this view attracts detractors.
Expressing it daily, with no holds barred, with gory photos of the
victims of jihad and outrageous details of how our leaders betray us,
has earned Pamela a baying herd of defamers.
Pamela Geller, President of the American Freedom Defense Initiative, publishes the blog Atlas Shrugs.
The
PC hounds were already barking at Pamela’s Atlas Shrugs website when
she took up the cause of Muslim women who were slain by their own family
members for “dishonoring” them. Geller drove the point home with
specific, heart-rending cases. She provided international publicity, for
example, to the tragic tale of 19- year-old Aqsa Parvez, who in 2007
was strangled by her brother Waqas – with the help of her father – when
she would not wear a hijab. When the family buried Aqsa in an unmarked
grave, an outraged Geller funded a special memorial grove for her in
Israel.Atlas
Shrugs documents, on a daily basis, the worldwide phenomenon of radical
Islamic assault and murders of infidels. She does exactly what the
media won’t do. She is hated by the left because her work powerfully
overturns its PC memes – “it’s all our fault” or “we must have done
something to get them mad” – intended to explain away Islamist violence.The
left seethes at Geller. She has been slammed by several so-called human
rights groups – especially the Southern Poverty Law Center, which
refused to help free black slaves in Sudan because their masters were
Arab/Muslims, and the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), which Geller calls
the Defamation League. (The ADL, as we have documented, hesitates to
focus on or campaign against Islamist anti-Semitism.)Things
heated up to a boiling point when Geller created a bus and subway ad
campaign that put the truth right out there for all to see. Like the
legendary child who blurted “the emperor has no clothes,” Geller’s
simple, brilliant ad proclaims, “In any war between the civilized man
and the savage, support the civilized man. Support Israel. Fight Jihad.”Pamela
contracted with transit authorities to place the ad on buses and in
subway stations in New York City, San Francisco and Washington, D.C. She
won court cases against the bureaucrats who at first refused the ads
but then had to relent. And so they are up and running.There
are many honest people who agree with the content of the ads, but think
they will not be helpful. I understand this feeling, but I disagree. Somebody has to pierce the fog and say the simple truth.Geller
has been pilloried for her use of the word “savage,” which her
detractors say is racist against Muslims. Hogwash. Islam has nothing to
do with race. Contrary to those who lie about her, she never speaks
about “all Muslims.” Here’s a simple truth: We can truly and only help
American Muslims by freeing them from the radicals that control –
according to congressional testimony – 80 percent of Muslim institutions
here. Cooperating with the Council on American-Islamic Relations
(CAIR), as ADL does in the hope that they will cooperate with Jews, is
wrongheaded, if not actually insane.“Savage”
is a word the PCers hate because, in our therapeutic culture, we are
not supposed to be enraged by assaults on innocents; we are supposed to
“understand” those who perpetrate them. Just listen to the sickening
psychobabble about Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. It dishonors the truth and the
victims and it gnaws away at the natural solidarity that binds our
community. If we don’t get outraged by the murder of our fellow
citizens, then those citizens cannot have meant much to us.Our
schools do not teach the simplest of truths: How are decent people
supposed to describe what the Islamist bombers in Boston did to the
lives and the limbs of the innocents? I’ve seen the uncensored photos of
the man in the wheelchair on Boylston St. with his calves and feet
blown away and only sticks – his fleshless shin bones – emerging from
his knees. What word properly describes those who did this to him?What
is the word that best describes the 2008 jihadist massacre of 170
people in Mumbai, India? What word expresses most clearly the way that
Islamists took special care to seek out the Mumbai Chabad House, where
they tortured and mutilated Rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg and his pregnant
wife Rivkah before they murdered them? We need an adjective for that
act.Or
what word best describes the 2011 slaughter in Itamar, Israel, of the
Fogel parents and their three children – ages 11, 3, and 3 months – by
Palestinian terrorists? If you Google “Fogel family,” you’ll see their
baby with its throat slashed. Who slashes the throats of infants?What’s
the best word that expresses righteous disgust with and hatred for
people who can be seen on YouTube stoning women to death for having
“dishonored” the community?“Savage” seems the perfect word.
And
what is the word that describes the true nature of the Arab/Muslim war
on the tiny Jewish state? Who, apart from hardline Jewish leftists and
the U.S. State Department, still thinks it’s a border war? As Geller
says on Atlas Shrugs, “It’s a Jihad, stupid.”Much
of Boston was on physical lockdown, until our brave cops caught the
culprits. Our culture will remain on moral lockdown, until we face and
speak the truth.Thanks, Pamela. Sorry this is a bit late.

This fills me with hope. Beautifully written, accurate, unflinching and as rare as hens teeth in our dhimmified world.
I watched Ezra Levant’s masterful take down of Toronto Police Muslim in residence, Ricky Veerappan earlier and together with this great piece combine the basics of wonderful journalism, an ability to communicate and unflinching honesty.
Now how about the rest?

I would imagine Pamela derives a well-earned measure of satisfaction from Jacobs’s article. Enriched with specifics- e.g. a spirited rejoinder to complaints that she engages in “hate speech” because she refers to certain people as “savages”- it goes a long way to dispelling the mindless slander, void of specifics, to which she has so often been subject.
Support like this, coming from a “respectable quarter”, makes it harder for the character assassination aimed at her to stick. All of her supporters here have long seen through the calumnies to which she has been subject from rogues, friends-of-mass-murderers, slavers, and dhimmis. She reminds me of the javelin thrower in Apple’s (and Chiat-Day’s) original 1984 Macintosh advertisement (check it out on the if you haven’t seen it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtvjbmoDx-I).

Seriously well done Mr. Jacobs in many ways … except “writing about the Lie Center of the Righists” (Please do not make the failure to think me being a Leftist ! – I am a truth seeker and truth lover, which means I do not use political “thinkings”.)
Congratulations Pam … to the parts where he got it clear !
In my present set of emotions its difficult to honour more of the sentences Mr Jacobs did so clear above because of the doers of “Gates of Vienna” “Baron Bodissey” and “Dymphna” which showed up being extreme hateful liars on my attempt to find a publisher for a book for the theme to end which is plainly named “Islam”.
One of the two even cynically admitted having not read my texts … but INDEED did and tricked around in evil manners to try to make me “look” as a “Jew Hater”.
I copied the complete tread where one or even both “redacted” parts of my texts and let in a comment of some sduncain which only SEEMED to be on my side, but was not, and they did it exactly for the reason to awaken the “picture” as if I was a Jew Hater – evil propagandists Baron showed up to be and with this lie even spun his liefilled propaganda to try to make me a “aim for Mossad”….
“Baron Bodissey`s” Evilness made him even cancel my text below his “invitation for the Mossad to murder me”, a comment on this, where I wrote that I already contacted Israel authorities on my research results from which “Baron” “thought” to “see” which there is not.
They – both: Dymphna and the “Baron” DO FEEL that my research could end many lies, more than “only” Islam, and in envy and hatred – possibly for the “fear of loosing also profits – they sew utmost hate by animating Souls to murder someone who does for now about 9 years opposing Islam and Sidings with Israel ….. which such animation for murder can only come from having named the Mossad ? From a Jews hater or Jews lover ?
Indeed Baron is a hypocrite Soul !
For sure: Amongst the Souls who would profit most from my research ARE JEWS !
So – which is the theme which they do wish to prevent from becoming known to a wider public ?
Its in the shortest version quite simple which needs time to explain in details: The so called Matthew Gospel is an immense lie and the early stages of the Quoran are based in many closetorelated-aspects on this “Gospel”. Sure- I can argue this and its quite easy –
And also sure: There are more lies in the “so called” Bible ….. and with this to explain this would go “into lengths”. So which I usually did is to show up with the info HOW CLOSE THE CONNECTION BETWEEN ISLAM AND “NICEAN” “CHRISTIANITY” REALLY IS SINCE “THIS CHRISTIANITY” BY INSTEAD OF REJECTING EVEN MORE BEDNING DOWN TO ITS “MAIN” “GOSPEL” (which is the Matthwes Gospel) and finding also the traces of it – much earlier than I – in the Quoran, they decided AT THE SECOND VATICANUM (1962-1965) in two of the “approved” papers “Lumen Gentium” and “Nostra Aetate” that ALLAH is also their “GOD” !
So instead of rejecting the evil and freeing their minds by truthseeking on the so simple basics of the true Gods Machiahs authentic teachings such sunk their souls deeper into the lie circles ……. following the Mohammed path to his “God” of war lust, bloodshed and rape, even to children. Sura 65, Vers 4 ….. which also has some sort of pendant in the Matthew`s Gospel and which is easy to acknowlege with some sense for reality.
Antisemitism on the “Agenda” of Socialists and even more “in the West”, why ?
To answer the questions why in so many countries of the “West” Antisemitism occurs so often so quickly has not only to do with the Evil games of Socialists to get Muslims to vote for them by using the “Hitler image” in Islamic Nations trying to convince Muslims that their European “Socialism” in relation to the “Jewish “question”” is not so much other than Hitlers (or Obama`s who calls himself a muslim Socialist: In real he is a socialistic Muslim.. hopefully in near future behind prison bars for his treason for the Arab Terrorist al Harbi) ….. there is also this one, which is neglected or overseen so easily by hypocrite Souls: Deeply mentally false rooted “Christian” Europeans tackle the “Matthew Gospel” on double evil standards. They take some sorts of evil which they wish to fit in their “personal life style” (oh how I can argue on this…..!) AND for the sorts of evil they dislike they push such in their uncounsciounesses to the ……. JEWS ….. for which – according to the many prologs in Bibles – this “Matthew” “Gospel has been especially written”.
So – Baron and Dymphna felt my deep insights into their hypocrite views and in a deeply hypocrite reaction they tried to construct a Jew hater of me…… how evil !
To keep the text efficient:
Taken alone the fact that Mohammed did not mentioned specifically this extremly lie filled Gospel makes him what ?
…. and also shows the inner “landscape” of dark wishes of souls who “thought” that Moh`s Isa could be the “truth”, which is “truth” only by narcistic views …… and ashames also those who thought that a quick “thinking” about Jeschua might be enough to decide ….. instead of trying to look behind the curtains which is still available from the authenic …… which is enough to recognize true love and to differ it from wrong “love”.
Could have the need for some while to detect this completly.
Anyone who likes to ask feel free to do this…. giving answers according my human developments for which I thank the Eterniy Abba.

It’s good to see that someone in the Jewish establishment – who probably knows leftists personally – had the brains to see the obvious good about Pamela Geller – and the guts to write about it. He may not be welcome in certain shuls, but…feh!

Very well said Sir, and all true. Better late than never, and Pamela deserves all the praise possible from freedom -loving decent people everywhere.

Three cheers for Mr. Jacobs. Even in Newton, MA, where one-third of the residents are Jewish; a high school was teaching students Israelis torture and murder “Palrstinian” women prisoners, using materials from an Arab World Studies Notebook, “published jointly by the Middle East Policy Council and AWAIR, both funded by Saudi Arabia, whose anti-Western, anti-democratic, anti-Semitic, and anti-Christian, anti-women, anti-gay “educational” publications are spreading throughout America.”

Refreshing to have truth as presented by both!

A courageous and honest man. Intelligently and brilliantly written, and a pleasure to read. The Truth can be so elegant and powerful.
You are one very brave and strong woman, Pamela. My hat off to you.

Yes, thank you Pamela Geller for your stamina and your energy to keep all of us informed of the great Islamic threat to our way of life. From a Canadian, Vancouver BC …..

Pamela Geller deserves his praise and the gratitude of every American, who wishes to keep the freedoms guaranteed under our Constitution.
Our Progressive media fails to spread the truth, and our career politicians skirt it to protect their places at the trough.
But Pamela Geller speaks truth to power every chance she gets. Her courage has earned her an ever-growing legion of admirers, and I am proud to be one of them.
For those Americans, who are still on the sidelines, remember freedom is never free.

Wonderful, well-deserved tribute to “our” Pamela! Mr. Jacobs has outlined pretty much the highlights of Pamela’s current crusades – all of which she can be (and no doubt is)truly proud.
But the fight never ends and there’re only rare “time-outs,” so, as always, she’s back to producing content ON A DAILY BASIS for her awesome Atlas Shrugs!
Happy & proud to join the Pam Geller Fan Club Chorus!

The interesting fact here is just how deeply imbedded is the Islamic terror that is lurking all around us starting with the White House and the State Department right down to the local school level.
What do we Americans really know about the terror that is lurking all around us? It is down right scary to think that we can have a race war or even a color war right here in the USA with Islam as being the culprit. People are getting frightened, especially after the Boston Massacre#2.
It’s only a matter od time before all hell breaks loose.

Pam its people like you Spencer, Shoebat, Christian Prince and many others that make a real difference in unashamedly confront the real enemy. We need more to stand up for truth and freedom! In mentioning Newton MA has anyone pointed out that Watertown MA has alot of Armenians….There is a museum there I think.
