Isn’t interesting that, according the enemedia, our powerful new ad is all about ….. Hitler. Even for them, that’s a stretch. It’s amazing the lengths the mainstream enemedia will go to to avoid mentioning Islam, jihad and what’s actually in the quran.
In this article in, all of places, The Times of Israel, they didn’t even run the ad, just a big ol’ photo of Hitler. Here is the interview I had with The Times of Israel. Following it is what The Times of Israel actually ran:
TIMES OF ISRAEL: How did you raise funds for placing these ads? Was it solely from crowd sourcing, or were there other sources?
PAMELA GELLER: We have received donations from numerous sources — there are many people who support our message of truth and freedom and are anxious to see it widely disseminated.
TIMES OF ISRAEL: On what basis are you making the claim that Islamic Jew-hatred is in the Koran?
PAMELA GELLER (with Robert Spencer) :
2:65 Allah transforms disobedient Jews into apes
“For you are well aware of those from among you who profaned the Sabbath, whereupon We said unto them, “Be as apes despicable!”
2:89 Unbelievers, particularly Jews, are accursed
“And whenever there came unto them a [new] revelation from God, confirming the truth already in their possession – and [bear in mind that] aforetime they used to pray for victory over those who were bent on denying the truth -: whenever there came unto them something which they recognized [as the truth], they would deny it. And God’s rejection is the due of all who deny the truth.”
3:110-112 Muslims are the best of people, Jews have earned Allah’s anger
“You are indeed the best community that has ever been brought forth for [the good of] mankind: you enjoin the doing of what is right and forbid the doing of what is wrong, and you believe in God. Now if the followers of earlier revelation had attained to [this kind of] faith, it would have been for their own good; [but only few] among them are believers, while most of them are iniquitous: [but] these can never inflict more than a passing hurt on you; and if they fight against you, they will turn their backs upon you [in flight], and will not be succoured. Overshadowed by ignominy are they wherever they may be, save [when they bind themselves again] in a bond with God and a bond with men; for they have earned the burden of God’s condemnation, and are overshadowed by humiliation: all this [has befallen them] because they persisted in denying the truth of God’s messages and in slaying the prophets against all right: all this, because they rebelled [against God], and persisted in transgressing the bounds of what is right.”
3:181-182 Jews are bound for hell
“God has indeed heard the saying of those who said, ‘Behold, God is poor while we are rich!’ We shall record what they have said, as well as their slaying of prophets against all right, and We shall say [unto them on Judgment Day]: ‘Taste suffering through fire in return for what your own hands have wrought – for never does God do the least wrong to His creatures!’”
4:160-161 Jews do evil, turn people away from Allah
“So, then, for the wickedness committed by those who followed the Jewish faith did We deny unto them certain of the good things of life which [aforetime] had been allowed to them;174 and [We did this] for their having so often turned away from the path of God, and [for] their taking usury – although it had been forbidden to them, and their wrongful devouring of other people’s possessions. And for those from among them who [continue to] deny the truth We have readied grievous suffering.”
5:41 Jews listen to falsehood and pervert the meaning of their Scriptures
“O Apostle! Be not grieved by those who vie with one another in denying the truth: such as those who say with their mouths, ‘We believe,’ the while their hearts do not believe; and such of the Jewish faith as eagerly listen to any falsehood, eagerly listen to other people without having come to thee [for enlightenment]. They distort the meaning of the [revealed] words, taking them out of their context, saying [to themselves], ‘If such-and-such [teaching] is vouchsafed unto you, accept it; but if it is not vouchsafed unto you, be on your guard!’”
5:51 Don’t take Jews and Christians as friends and allies
“O you who have attained to faith! Do not take the Jews and the Christians for your allies: they are but allies of one another – and whoever of you allies himself with them becomes, verily, one of them; behold, God does not guide such evildoers.”
5:59-60 Jews cursed, made into apes and swine
“Say: ‘O followers of earlier revelation! Do you find fault with us for no other reason than that we believe in God [alone], and in that which He has bestowed from on high upon us as well as that which He has bestowed aforetime? – or [is it only] because most of you are iniquitous?’ Say: ‘Shall I tell you who, in the sight of God, deserves a yet worse retribution than these? They whom God has rejected and whom He has condemned, and whom He has turned into apes and swine because they worshipped the powers of evil: these are yet worse in station, and farther astray from the right path [than the mockers].’”
5:64 Jews accursed
“And the Jews say, ‘God’s hand is shackled!’ It is their own hands that are shackled; and rejected [by God] are they because of this their assertion. Nay, but wide are His hands stretched out: He dispenses [bounty] as He wills. But all that has been bestowed from on high upon thee [O Prophet] by thy Sustainer is bound to make many of them yet more stubborn in their overweening arrogance and in their denial of the truth.”
5:82 Jews most hostile to the Muslims
“Thou wilt surely find that, of all people, the most hostile to those who believe [in this divine writ] are the Jews as well as those who are bent on ascribing divinity to aught beside God.”
6:91 Jews deny, conceal divine revelations
“For, no true understanding of God have they when they say, ‘Never has God revealed anything unto man.’ Say: ‘Who has bestowed from on high the divine writ which Moses brought unto men as a light and a guidance, [and] which you treat as [mere] leaves of paper, making a show of them the while you conceal [so] much – although you have been taught [by it] what neither you nor your forefathers had ever known?’ Say: ‘God [has revealed that divine writ]!” – and then leave them to play at their vain talk..’”
6:146 Jews involved in “evildoing”
“And [only] unto those who followed the Jewish faith did We forbid all beasts that have claws; and We forbade unto them the fat of both oxen and sheep, excepting that which is in their backs or entrails or that which is within the bone: thus did We requite them for their evildoing – for, behold, We are true to Our word!”
7:166 Jews are apes
“And then, when they disdainfully persisted in doing what they had been forbidden to do, We said unto them: ‘Be as apes despicable!’”
9:29 Fight and subjugate the Jews and Christians
“[And] fight against those who – despite having been vouchsafed revelation [aforetime] – do not [truly] believe either in God or the Last Day, and do not consider forbidden that which God and His Apostle have forbidden, and do not follow the religion of truth [which God has enjoined upon them] till they [agree to] pay the exemption tax with a willing hand, after having been humbled [in war].”
9:30 Jews and Christians to be destroyed by Allah
“And the Jews say, ‘Ezra is God’s son,’” while the Christians say, ‘The Christ is God’s son.’ Such are the sayings which they utter with their mouths, following in spirit assertions made in earlier times by people who denied the truth! [They deserve the imprecation:] ‘May God destroy them!’ How perverted are their minds!”
9:31 Jews and Christians have taken their clergy and holy men as lords
“They have taken their rabbis and their monks – as well as the Christ, son of Mary – for their lords beside God, although they had been bidden to worship none but the One God, save whom there is no deity: the One who is utterly remote, in His limitless glory, from anything to which they may ascribe a share in His divinity!”
62:6-7 Jews are evildoers who should long for death
“Say: ‘O you who follow the Jewish faith! If you claim that you [alone] are close to God, to the exclusion of all other people, then you should be longing for death – if what you say is true!’ But never will they long for it, because [they are aware] of what their hands have wrought in this world; and God has full knowledge of evildoers.”
98:6 Jews and Christians who reject Islam are the worst of creatures
“Verily, those who [despite all evidence] are bent on denying the truth – [be they] from among the followers of earlier revelation or from among those who ascribe divinity to aught beside God – will find themselves in the fire of hell, therein to abide: they are the worst of all creatures.”
TIMES OF ISRAEL: You are clearly being provocative by using the image of Hitler and thereby making an implied connection between Islamic anti-Semitism/anti-Zionism and the anti-Semitism that led to the Holocaust. But do you think that using the name and image of an historical Arab nationalist/Islamic leader will resonate for people seeing the ad today?
PAMELA GELLER: It is provocative to refer to a historical fact? On what grounds do you come to that conclusion? It is demonstrable, established fact that the Mufti of Jerusalem was close to Himmler and influenced Nazi handling of Jews in Europe. The role of the Arab/Islamic during World War II is little known, but consistent with Islamic history and the jihad against the Jews. The image of Hitler and the Muslim world’s most influential leader will clearly resonate with people today. It demonstrates most vividly the whitewash and scrubbing of history. I used the image precisely because people are unaware of these facts, and because they need to know them.
Al-Husseini was the President of the Supreme Muslim Council and Chairman of the Arab Higher Committee. He was also Hitler’s ally. He lived in Berlin from 1941 to 1945, and was responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Jewish women and children.He raised Muslim armies for Hitler in Bosnia. hope the ad motivates people to research and learn more about the Mufti and this history of the Jews in Muslim lands. Only then will people begin to understand the root cause of the Islamic war against the Jews.
TIMES OF ISRAEL: Why are you using pubic buses as a venue for getting your message out?
PAMELA GELLER: It reaches everyone. And that is the target of this awareness campaign. And also because the pro-jihad terror forces put their anti-Semitic lies on public buses.
TIMES OF ISRAEL: Your ad is in response to the anti-Israel ads that ran on the buses last month. Do you believe that one must always respond, or are there times when it is not appropriate or helpful to respond?
PAMELA GELLER: When is it ever advantageous to let a lie stand unchallenged by the truth? The truth is always appropriate — now more than ever. I believe that silence in the face of growing and overt anti-Semitism is sanction. Jewish history is riddled with horror that was made possible by such silence. Jewish Councils, kapo-like complicity aids and abets the annihilationists. Remember Peter Bergson and Stephen Wise.
Appropriate? Are the vicious anti-Semitic ads “appropriate”? Do you question the groups like American Muslims for Palestine in the same style and manner in which you are questioning me? There is a bias in the media against the Jewish state.
TIMES OF ISRAEL: Have you been threatened with a lawsuit on the basis of these ads?
PAMELA GELLER: No. Why would I be? My ad is factual, and the opposition knows that as well as I do.
TIMES OF ISRAEL: What has the response to the ads been so far (as far as you are aware)? Have any Jewish groups contacted you about them, and what were their reactions?
PAMELA GELLER: I have been inundated with messages of gratitude from people who are so happy that the truth is finally being told. I have received hundreds of emails in support, and a wave of additional donations to take the campaign nationwide; I have not heard from Jewish groups per se, but I have heard from many, many individual Jews thanking me.
TIMES OF ISRAEL: As far as you are concerned, is there any difference between anti-Israel statements/opinions and anti-Semitism, or are they always one and the same?
PAMELA GELLER: I agree with Martin Luther King, Jr.: “When people criticize Zionists, they mean Jews. You’re talking anti-Semitism.”
TIMES OF ISRAEL: Can you provide me the source for your claim that two-thirds of all US foreign aid goes to Islamic countries?

Here is what The Times of Israel ran:
“Seeing Hitler on your daily commute” By Renee Ghert-Zand, Times of Israel, May 20, 2014
Anti-Islam activist Pamela Geller puts up a new set of ads on Washington, DC’s buses
Commuters in Washington, DC will be looking at Adolf Hitler for the next month thanks to a new anti-Islam campaign spearheaded by controversial blogger and activist Pamela Geller.
The 15-foot long ads featuring a photograph of the Nazi leader were placed by Geller’s American Freedom Defense Initiative on 20 city buses. The ads claim that Islam promotes Koran-based Jew-hatred and demand an end to US foreign aid to Islamic countries.
Geller wrote on her website that the campaign – which features an archival photograph of Hitler meeting with Haj Amin al-Husseini, the Palestinian nationalist and Islamic leader of Mandate Palestine — are a response to “the vicious Jew-hating” ads placed on Washington buses in March and April by the Illinois-based group American Muslims for Palestine. Those ads stated, “We’re sweating April 15 so Israelis don’t have to! Stop US aid to Israel’s occupation!”
Geller told The Times of Israel by email that she never considered not responding to the American Muslims for Palestine ad. “When is it ever advantageous to let a lie stand unchallenged by the truth? The truth is always appropriate — now more than ever,” she wrote.
While most commuters will recognize Hitler, far fewer will be familiar with al-Husseini, who was the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem from 1921 to 1948, and the president of the Supreme Muslim Council (1922-1937).
“[Al-Husseini] was responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Jewish women and children. He raised Muslim armies for Hitler in Bosnia,” Geller wrote. “I hope the ad motivates people to research and learn more about the Mufti and this history of the Jews in Muslim lands. Only then will people begin to understand the root cause of the Islamic war against the Jews.”
Having previously lost a First Amendment case against Geller and AFDI, Metro, Washington’s transit agency, accepted the Hitler ads. In 2012, a federal judge ordered Metro to display ads that stated, “In any war between the civilized man and the savage, support the civilized man. Support Israel. Defeat jihad.”
Geller was barred from entering the UK in 2013. The Home Office denied her entry on the basis that her “presence here would not be conducive to the public good.” Her previous history reportedly indicated to the Home Secretary that Geller might attempt to “foster hatred which might lead to inter-community violence in the UK.” In addition, synagogues in the US have previously canceled planned appearances by her, citing security concerns.
The activist wrote that she has received a great deal of support for the new ads, and that there has been no threat of legal action against her. “No. Why would there be?” she replied when asked about the possibility of a law suit. “My ad is factual, and the opposition knows that as well as I do.”
Jonathan Carey, founder and executive director of BlueStar, a San Francisco-based Israel advocacy and public relations organization, believes Geller’s ads will only end up offending and alienating people.
“I don’t think anyone following the news would be surprised about radical Islam, but this is not something for a poster in the public realm,” he told The Times of Israel.
“People who put up ads that spew hatred are targeting their enemies on the issue. But 99 percent of those seeing these ads are on neither of the extreme sides,” he explained.
“If the goal of these ads it to get people to hate Muslims, then that goal is very misdirected,” said Carey. “The goal should be to bring those who don’t know or care about Jews and Israel closer to our side.”
Geller thinks otherwise. She says she is going to keep doing what she is doing as long as “pro-jihad terror forces put their anti-Semitic lies on public buses.”
