EXCLUSIVE: Pamela Geller Places anti-Jihadi Ads on San Francisco Buses
by Adelle Nazarian, Breitbart News, September 8, 2016:
Story continues below advertisementThe American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI) has placed hundreds of ads on buses in San Francisco showing real images of Palestinian youth in jihadi uniforms and violent poses, taken from media in Palestinian Authority media. The ads read: “The Palestinian Authority Teaches Children to Hate,” and ” End All U.S. Aid to the P.A.”
The ads are an attempt to counter the “Boycott Israel” campaign, a left-wing effort that seeks to delegitimize the Jewish State of Israel through economic isolation, among other methods.

The AFDI ads feature real images taken of Palestinian children dressed as radical Islamic terrorists. One child has a bomb strapped around his stomach and is surrounded by adult men wearing the same. Another shows a child wearing a black-and-white keffiyeh (scarf), which was the late Yasser Arafat’s iconic symbol, and brandishing a knife in a stabbing motion. A third image shows little boys lined up and dressed in camouflage uniforms, holding up machine guns and wearing headbands with Islamist slogans written on them. The boys look like they are no older than eight years old.
“We are calling for an end to aid to what is a terrorist organization [the Palestinian Authority] until the hate stops,” Geller told Breitbart News on Friday.
Geller emphasized that the AFDI ads are in direct response to ads placed on buses in San Francisco by the anti-Israel group known as the Seattle Mideast Awareness Campaign (SEAMAC) on August 9. SEAMAC has placed ads on buses calling to “Boycott Israel Until Palestinians Have Equal Rights.”
Muslims living in Israel have equal rights, as opposed to elsewhere in the Middle East, where they have no political rights and where women in particular live under Sharia- compliant regimes. Israeli Muslims are members of Israel’s Knesset (parliament), and gay and lesbian Muslims living in Israel are able to live freely without fear of being hung or executed for their sexuality. (Such is not the case in other Muslim countries.)
Geller said the ads have been rolling out over the past three days and that they are on the road now, “highlighting the truth about this ideology that calls for the genocide of the Jews. What better way than to use their own photos to show how they indoctrinate and inculcate their own children into this unfathomable and genocidal ideology.”
The AFDI was co-founded by Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer in 2010.
Beyond San Francisco, the AFDI plans to roll out its campaign in other bus and train stations throughout the nations where Geller says freedom of speech is not banned.
Geller said cities that have banned political ads altogether, in the wake of a legal battle to force Denver to allow the ads, include New York City; Boston; Washington, D.C.; Chicago; and Miami. Geller called San Francisco “the last city.”
“San Francisco really is the last city where the ‘Geller ban’ is not in affect. We’ve seen this where we tried to run ads in response to some fallacious ads that the Jew-haters are running, whether it’s SEAMAC or American Muslims for Palestine or some other nefarious group that is running blood libel against Israel.” She explained the anti-Israel message as being “the same template that the Nazis used; Kristallnacht, an economic boycott agains the Jews.”
She added that the bans on her ads are “a ban on the truth, in accordance with Sharia. They say it’s hate speech but that’s the euphemistic narrative. It’s like putting a pretty white bow on a steaming pile of dung.”
In Michigan, which is home to a large Muslim community, Geller wanted to run an ad offering help for people who have tried to run from the faith and Sharia law in 2010. The bus ads read: “Leaving Islam? Fatwa on your head? Is your family threatening you?” The ads were banned in several cities.
Geller, who is still in the midst of an ongoing lawsuit against the bans, told Breitbart News “They denied the ads in Detroit and in Dearborn. We sued, we won. They appealed. Detroit is going out of business. It’s bankrupt and they are not only refusing my revenue but spending money to sue me. They did not accept Judge Denise Page Hood’s ruling and appealed to the Sixth Circuit and they ruled in their favor. It’s ongoing.”
She added that the life of Jessica Mokdad might have been spared if her ads had been allowed to remain up. Mokdad, 20, was murdered in an “honor killing” by her stepfather, Rahim Alfetlawi, because she was not following Islam. “If she had seen the ads, maybe she would have come to us and could have been saved,” Geller said.
Of the San Francisco ads, Geller said: “Wherever they run their ads we will be.”
She added: “The beauty of the ‘Geller Ban’ is that they can’t run their ads [either].” However, she said, she would prefer to have the argument than see all controversial political ads banned.
“It’s not what I believe in. I believe in free speech and that even the worst speech is protected … because my ideas are better and I will win.”

TEL – AVIV – The Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement doesn’t want “a better Israel, they want no Israel at all,” one of the world’s leading Holocaust experts told a London audience on Tuesday night.
Professor Yehuda Bauer, who teaches Holocaust Studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, made his remarks during a panel alongside Labour MP Tulip Siddiq, the Jewish Chronicle reported.
“Now of course, they love Jews. Especially dead Jews. The ones who died in the Holocaust, they’re marvelous, they were terrific. Live Jews is something else,” Bauer said.

They are not that important, muslims will merely be cinders and clinkers on the edge, unnoticed and ignored.

Good! But lets hope it lasts in the San Francisco. The politicians there seem to support the criminals and lowlifes. If you are a hardworking taxpayer, you are screwed. Crime everywhere, dirty city, drugs done on the streets in plain view and nothing done, homelessness every sidewalk, theft everywhere or and sanctuary city!!!

Every June in Tel Aviv they have a gay parade. Thousands of people come out to watch the parade. After the parade gay people go to bars, walk along the boardwalk and no one hassles them. Gay people are safe and free in Israel.
There are fantastic gay hairdressers all over Tel Aviv. The best haircut I ever got was in Tel Aviv from a gay handsome Israeli hairdresser. Gay hairdressers give the best haircuts.
In Muslim countries gay people are hung, stoned and killed.
Israel is the only democracy in the middle east today surrounded by 56 Islamic oppressive countries.

Except, there is no Palestine, nor Palestinians. Just some land taken from Israel and a bunch of Arab muslim rejects that no middle east country will touch with a ten foot pole. The simpletons in the democrat party and, of course, the all-knowing high school and college awareness crowd, whom are spoon-fed idiots whom have never left the country, yet have all the answers, conveniently regurgitating their spoon-fed anti-American lies. Voting age must be raised. Of course, after this election and the communist wins, it will be irrelevant.

Well done, Pam.

Ever notice that the left gives tacit approval to outrageous depictions of children in possession of lethal weapons on the one hand and the limiting or elimination of law abiding citizens’ gun rights on the other?

Thanks for trying Mrs. Geller. I have the distinct feeling the 1st and 2nd amendments of the US Constitution won’t be surviving a Shillariah presidency.
