AFDI places anti-jihad ads on San Francisco buses

“EXCLUSIVE: Pam Geller Places anti-Jihadi Ads on San Francisco Buses,” by Adelle Nazarian, Breitbart, September 9, 2016:

The 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.”

      Pam, how is it that you escaped the ban in San Francisco?

      • Kathy Brown, Esq. says

        Sep 11, 2016 at 8:51 pm

        She didn’t ‘escape’ Gordon. She sued. And won.

        Robert Muise at the AFLC sued the San Francisco Transit Authority when they refused to post her ads on their buses. See: Their buses already carried lots of other ads, including many of an anti-semitic nature (sponsored by CAIR, etc.).

        If you use buses for that Speech, you must allow it for the reverse. ‘Frisco at first refused to post them, but was forced to after the AFLC sued, and won.

    If you want to see how the ultra-lefties choke on a HUGE DOSE OF TRUTH ABOUT “PALESTINIANS”, check the reaction to AFDI’s ad campaign. Go here to the major San Francisco newspaper: http://www.sfchronicle.com. BUT WAIT UNTIL SUNDAY OR MONDAY — because there is nothing up now (Saturday at 10:30 Eastern time at my teepee).

    The search function is a little hard to find — Do you see those 3 lines at the upper left with “Sections” ???? Put your mouse over there and a search option appears. But even now, using the search function, you can find past posts containing “anti Muslim” shrieking by headline writers and authors

    Wonder how long the Ad’s will last? Anti-Israel propaganda is 1400 years in the making read for yourself.
    Read the Sira the Biography of Muhammed, the Hadith the teachings of Muhammed, and Quran to gain knowledge on what is real Political Islam and how it effects each and everyone one of us who are Non Believers.

    Oh, this placing of anti-jihad ads is just terrible. I believe America needs to import as many followers of Thugee as we can find and place them in Muslim areas in the name of freedom for all religions.

      From E. Britannica: “Thug, Hindi ṭhag, Sanskrit sthaga (“thief,” “rogue”), member of a well-organized confederacy of professional assassins who traveled in gangs throughout India for several hundred years. (The earliest authenticated mention of the thugs is found in Ẓiyāʾ-ud-Dīn Baranī, History of Fīrūz Shāh, dated about 1356.) The thugs would insinuate themselves into the confidence of wayfarers and, when a favourable opportunity presented itself, strangle thAlthough the thugs traced their origin to seven Muslim tribes, Hindus appear to have been associated with them at an early period…”

    Muslims and Arabs are restricted re property ownership and intermarriage in Israel.

    • gravenimage says

      Sep 10, 2016 at 4:14 pm

      What crap. There are no special legal restrictions on Muslims in Israel.

      If you mean they are not allowed to openly practice polygamy and child marriage, you are correct–but that applies to all citizens, and not just Mohammedans. Any interfaith marriages entered into outside Israel are recognized there.

    • Karen says

      Sep 10, 2016 at 8:57 pm

      The Israeli government owns most of the land in Israel. Per the ‘Middle East Quarterly’: “The land-owning situation in Israel today is as follows: 80.4 percent is owned by the government, 13.1 percent is privately owned by the JNF (Jewish National Fund), and 6.5 percent is evenly divided between private Arab and Jewish owners.”

      Regarding the small slice of land that is privately owned: “There are no restrictions on the purchase of private land in Israel. Israeli Arabs or non-citizens, including Arab foreigners, may freely purchase it. The Israeli authorities have placed no obstacles in the way of such purchases”

          As the Muslim population grows by leaps and bounds, with hundreds of thousands coming into the US each year, look for the most vicious anti-Semitism to raise its ugly head more and more. Yet at least half the population is totally asleep to what is pouring into the country! I love immigrants from all nations — but importing hundreds of thousands of members of a 1.5 billion-strong expansionist totalitarian terror cult just seems insane, and totally unfair to those who, as the years pass and the Muslim population grows, will increasingly become victims of Islamic hate, violence, and discrimination: gays, Jews, women, atheists, Christians, anyone who dares to criticize Muhammad. Why should critics of Islam have to hire bodyguards? What kind of country is this?

    Sep 10, 2016 at 2:55 pm

    I only hope left whingers don’t find some legal way to force their removal. The world needs the truth about muslim belefs.and practices.

    • Kathy Brown, Esq. says

      Sep 11, 2016 at 9:00 pm

      Gretel: So far, they can’t ‘find some legal way’ to stop Pam, Indeed they’ve already tried, but Pam sued (our wonderful AFLC) and won.

      Here in the USA, we’ve got the wonderful 1st Amendment, which says you can’t suppress free speech by content. The Frisco buses had already posted other ads, so in law they couldn’t refuse Pam’s.

      However, I say ‘so far’. If Killary’s elected, she’ll do exactly what London’s Mayor Khan has done, i.e., establish Sharia Law very s l o w l y…

      VOTE TRUMP ’16.

    With a muslim in the White House, the dollars will continue to flow freely to his muslim “Brothers”.
    It is sad but nearly 59% of adults in this country are ready to vote in Granny Clinton! In which case the dollars will still flow to the terrorist!
    This Country has only one chance. And that’s a small one. A new President with a sane mind and the “Balls” to take action.

    I agree with Pam Gellar and I so admire her courage. If I had the financial resources to do what she does, I don’t think I am brave enough to do it. But I am so proud that a woman exists who will.

    But on the other hand, perhaps I live in a basket with the other deplorables, the ones Hillary Clinton described a couple of days ago. There are deplorables, among them Hillary Clinton,, Barack Obama, John Kerry, John Soros, etc. etc. etc. But they are not living in a basket. They live in multi-million dollar homes bought and paid for by money from questionable sources. Sources like Saudi Arabia, for instance.

    Hillary Clinton just gets sillier and more desperate by the day.
