Geller Agonistes —Truth in Advertising About the Jihad Against Israel

Even the NY Times seemed revolted by the glorification of the August 9, 2001 Jerusalem Sbarro Restaurant homicide bombing carnage—an act of jihad terrorism committed by Hamas—"re-created” the next month with ghoulish joy, in a Palestinian Muslim exhibit whose entrance (complete with replicated Sbarro sign) is depicted in the photo above.

The September 26, 2001 Times report included these grisly details:

Created by a student faction of Hamas…The most contentious section is a mock-up of the Sbarro restaurant in Jerusalem where 15 people were killed in a suicide attack in August including not only gnawed pizza crusts but bloody plastic body parts suspended from the ceiling as if they were blasting through the air

All of us who cherish Western free speech, particularly when it elucidates irrefragable truths, owe an enormous debt to journalist and author, Pamela Geller [4].

With courageous tenacity, and unflappable poise (listen [5] to former New York Governor David Paterson’s own eyewitness account of her appearance at the New York Metropolitan Transportation [MTA] Authority board meeting, 9/27/12 ), Ms. Geller obtained permission to post advertisements in the New York City subway system that appositely characterize the Palestinian Muslim—and larger global Muslim umma’s—annihilationist jihad [6] against Israel.

An earlier advertising campaign allowed [4] by the MTA, promulgated the ahistorical Islamic supremacist narrative: that all of historical Palestine remains the "fay territory,” or booty, of its 7th century Muslim jihad conquerors [6], who massacred, pillaged, deported, and enslaved [7] the indigenous non-Arab Christian, Jewish, and Samaritan communities; ignored the fact that in 1922, 78% of the League of Nations Mandate for a Jewish Palestinian homeland, was arbitrarily used to create a Judenrein by law Muslim state, i.e. "Trans-Jordan” (see contemporary Jordan’s law no. 6, sect. 3, April 3, 1954, reactivated in law no. 7, sect. 2, on April 1, 1963; p. 119, n 82 [8]); claimed that since 1948, Israel’s defensive wars of survival deprived the would be murderous Palestinian Muslim community (abetted by Muslim nation armies, and jihadist volunteers, in the Middle East, and beyond) of some of the remaining disputed territory, while being responsible for "4.5 million Palestinian refugees”—at least six-fold the actual number of perhaps 750,000, and oblivious to the fact 900,000 Jews in Muslim lands, well removed from the battlegrounds in historical Palestine, were simultaneously made refugees [7] via murderous pogroms, expropriations, and expulsions, between 1948 and 1967.

Geller crafted a response to these mendacious anti-Israel ads, and overcame the MTA’s initial refusal to post her ad, with a successful legal challenge [9]. The anti-jihad ad [10] (just below) paraphrases Ayn Rand’s astute, if blunt comments [11] about Palestinian irredentism during a 1979 appearance on the Phil Donahue show [12], while, affirming, correctly, the jihad war being waged against Israel. [13]

The jihad pathology identified and held up for opprobrium in Geller’s ad [10] was captured in this graphic discussion of jihadist carnage "celebrations” by the Palestinian Muslim masses, excerpted from Dr. Raphael Israeli’s 2003, Islamikaze—Manifestations of Islamic Matryrology [14]:

…few outsiders have paid attention to the makeshift stage, erected at the terminal of those processions, which bring to their climax the celebrations. Often the latest target they destroyed, for example an Israeli bus loaded with dozens of passengers on board, is meticulously reconstructed in paper, cardboard and cloth, painted so as to imitate the original, and then set ablaze to the lunatic cries of delight of the watching crowds. All the while, the perpetrators of the actual horror against the real Israeli bus, or more often their successors, who wished to cultivate the "heritage” of the deceased Islamikaze, run around the stage in frenzy, shoot long bursts in the air as if possessed by some other worldly power, shout blood-chilling war cries, repeatedly invoke the Power of Allah, smash the burned carcass of the bus and stab with bayonets the "remnants” of the slain "passenger,” whom they, or their fellow kamikaze had earlier slain in reality.
