Pam Geller: always able to move the needle on the crazy gauge one mark further.

In a May 23 post on her blog, Atlas Shrugs, Pamela Geller attempted to explain away applause given to President Obama during his May 22 speech at the AIPAC Policy Conference, claiming, “AIPAC is generally an orgy of applause and cheering … [m]ention that grilled chicken will be served in the cafe downstairs and you’ll get a huge round of applause.” Geller further claimed AIPAC members “simply do not comprehend what is being done to them” and compared them to “German Jews.”

I am a German Jew. Generations and generations of it. My father was the first in the family born outside Germany since the 18th century. I am qualified to say that my family would have identified the following, in descending order:
1) Pamela Geller is crazy
2) Being a socialist was not high in the German Jewish Identity agenda - communism and socialism was a (vocal) minority pursuit
3) People should mot mistake the (then) nascent reform Judaism movement as “socialist”
4) Pamela Geller still crazy

Says the woman trying desperately to imitate Goebbels “schtick” when it comes to Muslims?

You’re not a real Jew unless you’re a wingnut Jew. And if you don’t support wingnut Jews (while heaping condemnation on liberal Jews), you’re an anti-semite.

And, remember, even if you are a dues-paying, event-attending AIPAC member, you may easily be denounced as an anti-Semite, AND a socialist, if you clap when the President restates U.S. foreign policy at an event.

Yeah, I have never thought of ‘yeky’ as meaning ‘socialist’.

But why should Pam know history, when she can make it up?

If I could say, Jews aren’t supposed to diss other Jews in public. It’s called a shonda for the goyim - acting shamefully (shonda means shame or pity) in front of non-Jews brings shame to all of us. The phrase is used in different ways. When a Jewish person commits a crime, it’s a shonda for the goyim. Or maybe does something against Israel (Noam Chomsky or Norm Finkelstein). A shame to Jews in front of the world.

I don’t like to diss other Jews and I try to refrain from it, but I also want people to know that Geller is a bad representation of who we are supposed to be, which is a light to the nations.
