Jewish Tribune: “Geller takes on Toronto Board of Rabbis”

Today Hamas-CAIR lauded and praised the Toronto Board of Rabbis for their disgraceful statement condemning me (and the Jewish group that hosted me). How proud the Rabbis must be for making their pro-Hamas friends so happy.

Here's the link to the craven cowards' statement. Post the Toronto Board of Rabbis' statement to your facebook page and tweet it out as well. Contact your Rabbi
and tell them what you think of their statement and why.

I condemn Islamic Jew-hatred. Is that what these Rabbis find "disgraceful and profoundly disappointing"? I am a fierce supporter of Israel. Is that what these Rabbis find "disgraceful and profoundly disappointing"? I oppose gender apartheid, creed apartheid, ethnic cleansing, honor violence and honor murder, FGM, etc. Is that what these Rabbis find "disgraceful and profoundly disappointing"?

Where is the "Jewish Council," aka here)?

When are these so-called rabbis going to lead, defend and fight for our people instead of laying the rails for the trains? Tweet at these shills for annihilationists — their twitter handle is @jewishtoronto

TORONTO – Pamela Geller struck back at the Toronto Board of Rabbis
(TBR) for a critical statement it issued just hours before her
appearance Monday night at the Zionist Centre.

In a press release, the TBR said it considered Geller’s views
“distasteful” and expressed “profound disappointment that a local Jewish
organization” [the Jewish Defense League of Canada] had invited her to
speak here. It described Geller as “a blogger who is known for her
extreme criticism of Muslims in language that is intended to shock and
ridicule.”

Geller was unaware of the TBR statement until the Jewish Tribune
brought it to her attention. The TBR said it is “a strong supporter of
freedom of speech for all, including Ms. Geller. Ms. Geller’s voice and
message are already well known here in Canada and beyond. There was no
sense in inviting her here to speak before a Jewish audience.”

The 400 people who purchased tickets, and the numerous people who
were turned away at the door, may beg to differ. The main room where
Geller spoke was standing room only and another room was filled with
people who paid to watch her on a screen.

The audience reacted audibly with shocked gasps and exclamations when
Geller announced, “Today the Toronto Board of Rabbis came out with a
statement condemning me.”

She continued, “Now, let me tell you what’s most egregious about
this: they never contacted me. They didn’t cite one quote from me: not
one. I have [authored] three books, I have [written] hundreds of
articles, I have written 26,000-plus [blog] posts: not one quote. But
they will give chum to the sharks by pitting Jew against Jew….

“To the Toronto Board of Rabbis, I say it is the mission of the
yehudim to speak the truth. Shame on you; shame on you. They’re guilty
of lashon hara, the evil gossip that is a lie.”

Geller spoke about a range of topics, including Islamic jihad (holy
war against non-Muslims); all with the central theme of defending
individual rights and freedoms which, she said, are under attack by
people on the radical left as well as adherents of extremist Islam.

“My line in the sand is freedom of speech because I know my ideas are
better,” she said. “Mine is not a religious issue. The premise, the
font, of all of my ideas is individual rights…. Anyone that says that I
am anti-Muslim is…implying that all Muslims support jihad.”

Although the Toronto Police Service (TPS) had not received any
complaints about Geller’s appearance, members of its hate crimes unit
were in the audience monitoring what was said, TPS Spokesperson Mark
Pugash confirmed.

Nothing Geller and her hosts said crossed the line into hate speech, according to police.

“There was nothing that they heard that leads them to believe any action is necessary,” said Pugash.

There were no protests against the event either outside or inside the building.
