Check out my column this week in WND on the craven quislings who curse my people.
DEFENDING THE WEST
Another rabbi enabler of Islamic oppression
Exclusive: Pamela Geller quotes leaders condemning her for 'rants' defending human rights
The controversy over my appearance last month in Canada, after the
police pressured a dhimmi rabbi into canceling the initial venue planned
for my talk, just keeps roiling. Monday in the Toronto Star, another dhimmi rabbi piled on. Right on the heels of three anti-Semitic attacks in Montreal, another Canadian rabbi saw fit to condemn … a fellow Jew.Story continues below advertisementRabbi Dow Marmur wrote that “people engaged in interfaith work should
always compare the best in their own religion with the best in that of
others. This has helped me not to judge Christianity by the
anti-Semitism in some of its teachings and not to condemn Islam because
Islamist extremists cause havoc in different parts of the world.”Rabbi Marmur is stating the problem in false terms. I have never
compared Judaism, let alone the best of Judaism, with the worst of other
religions. My work is not about condemning Islam; it’s about defending
human rights. It may be wrong to judge Christianity by the anti-Semitism
in some of its teachings, but it would be equally wrong, or worse, to
avoid confronting and challenging Christian anti-Semitism wherever it
appears just because some Christians are not anti-Semitic. And genuinely
non-anti-Semitic Christians should not object to a challenge to
Christian anti-Semites; indeed, they should join in such a challenge. At
Vatican II, the Catholic Church repudiated Christian anti-Semitism –
why can’t we get Muslims to repudiate jihad, Islamic supremacism,
Islamic Jew-hatred, etc.?If “Islamist extremists” are causing havoc, it is not wrong to
challenge them and ask Muslims who supposedly reject “extremism” to
address the Islamic teachings that give rise to that “extremism,” and to
reject and reform those teachings. And genuinely peaceful Muslims
should be calling for the same thing and standing with us.But Marmur, in contrast, said that he avoided Jews “who compare the
best in Judaism with the worst in other religions. In view of recent
incidents in Boston, London and Paris, and riots in Stockholm and
elsewhere, a lot of people are prone to such distortions of Islam.”Yeah, and they’re the jihadists in Boston, London and Paris. Each one
explained his actions by referring to Islamic teaching. The rabbi is
falling into the Islamic supremacist trap of thinking that it’s
“Islamophobic” for non-Muslims to point out that jihadists use Islamic
texts and teachings to justify their actions, and to call on Muslims who
claim to reject this understanding of Islam to do something effective
to counter it.And of course one of the Jews to which Marmur objected was me. He
wrote: “Echoing statements by responsible Jewish leaders in the United
States, Rabbi Eric Yoffie, the immediate past president of the Union for
Reform Judaism, has described her in a recent Jerusalem Post column as ‘a bigot and a purveyor of hate.’”

Anti-Semitic teachings in Christianity? The Christian Bible does not curse the Jews and teach that Jews are apes… So what is this rabi talking about?

Agreed, There would be no Christianity without the Jews.In fact Gentiles become Jews through accepting Christ and begin to worship the God Of Israel.Granted many Christians aren’t aware of that either but anti Semite?Never!! This Rabbi has a perception issue.

What anti-Semitic teachings in Christianity? What, the new covenant? Maybe I can help you. Spell out the anti-Semitic teachings in Christianity. Are there anti-Christian teachings in Judaism?
I think you are confused PG and you shouldn’t be saying something like that. Have you even asked Spencer about it? What gives woman?

Romans 8: 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
That would be children of the God of Israel and there is no other.

Anti-semite christians? I read “If a man say I love God, but hate his brother, he is a liar…” I John 4:20. So if these kinds of christians hate Jews-they are pseudo-christians. This confused rabbi might as well condemn the Jewish Tanakh of teaching the same as OT (which is the same transliteration) because thousands of years ago it shows the consequences of disobediance to God. Would not the same occur to Christians if they are disobediant to God?

Until he produces the New Testament Scriptures that preach anti-Semitism – he will remain a liar.
If anything…

Rom 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; TO THE JEW FIRST, and also to the Greek (Christians).

“…judge Christianity by the anti-Semitism in some of its teachings…” I believe Yeshua’s criticism was never aimed at Judaism in general, but rather at particular Jews he was addressing. His “antisemitic” comments were made to a live audience consisting of his fellow Jews, who he was criticising. I’ll bet Yeshua’s audience for most of his life was 99% Jewish, I can’t imagine antisemitism would play well to such an audience, especially in Jerusalem.
