This isn’t very surprising coming from Geller; she’s made this baseless claim about Hitler before along with other “counter Jihad” bloggers. Truth be told it makes far more sense to blame Christianity for Hitler’s antisemitism. Based on what he wrote he sure sounds like he was a Christian. Also look at the long history of antisemitism in Christian Europe. However, that too would be unjustified as well, given the fact that among other things, many devout Christians opposed the Nazis and were horrified by their racist ideology. This is just another example of demonization of a minority.

She’s a piece of work. I’d pay to see Benjamin Netanyahu come to New York to personally put her in her place and tell her to shut up.

But as soon as he would leave she’d be out on her site or elsewhere saying Bibi was an Islamist and needed to be taken out of office.

Headline copy edit: “advertisements” is usually abbreviated “ads”. Feel free to delete this comment. :)

Just an editor’s note: you had two typos in the headline — “Pamella” and “adds.” Please check headlines and text for misspellings and typos before posting - it doesn’t look very professional when headlines contain misspellings.

Sheesh, this is just weird. If you want a good history of European Christian Antisemitism, dig up Constantine’s Sword by James Carroll. It’s a doorstopper, but with good reason.

Either that or claim that they had “intimidated” him into “submission.”

Sorry about that.

The Mufti was sort of a monster. As were lots of Catholic Popes. So what? What does that have to do with Islam as a whole? Not that I’m saying there are no problems in Islam - there’s much to criticize in any religion both from ideological and practical standpoints - but really, how is the Mufti-Hitler connection relevant, unless one is making a false claim that most Muslims revere the Mufti?

re: #7 Sergey Romanov

It seems she’s trying to paint Islam/Muslims as a primary source of antisemitism. Sometimes her hateful ranting gets to the point where I feel she’d be more than willing to consider Hitler a victim of sorts if it meant she could blame the Holocaust on Muslims by somehow proving that all “pious Muslims” (one of her favorite terms) are required to hate and kill Jews.

It’s her own version of blood libel, never mind the fact that antisemitism existed for many centuries before Islam did, or that when Jews like Maimonides fled Andalusia after it was conquered by the extremist Almohads, they ran towards Muslim countries for safety, not European ones.

Speaking of, I have a Page to make about that (antisemitism).

Actually, she’d probably call him a Jewicidal Jew or a Quisling as those seem to be two of her favorite terms for any fellow Jew who disagrees with her. She has a few others, but I can’t recall them offhand.

My late grandfather fought on behalf of the British Raj against the Axis forces in the Battle of Kohima. Words can’t describe the hate and contempt I have towards this filthy excuse of a human being on this.

CD: During the Holocaust there were also Christians (in Poland, for example) who were antisemites, but still risked their lives to save Jews from the Nazis—not because they didn’t blame Jews for the death of Jesus (a.s.), but because they felt that punishing them was something that God should do, not other humans.

I’ll link to your Page when I put up mine since it was Geller’s new hateful transit ad that made me go looking for books on the history of antisemitism, which in turn led me to what looks like an excellent read (not to mention a fascinating hour-long interview with the author on YouTube, during which she mentions the above, about Poland).

I’m sure Geller and many others would like to distill the components of antisemitism down to a single element or two on which they could blame every injustice that followed, but it just isn’t that simple.

The fact that she attempts to use a form of the same sort blood libel against Muslims that was used against Jews is extremely dangerous and beyond despicable. If you watch the video I’m getting ready to put up you’ll recognize many of her tactics, as well as those of others in the Islamophobia industry, as oddly familiar to the one historically used by antisemites.

P.S. I had to LOL at Geller making an appearance on RT. Like I said in my #8, it’s pretty clear that she wants to blame the Holocaust on Muslims.

I feel the same way. All religions should be criticized and all of them are deserving of criticism to some degree or another. However, Like Curious Lurker pointed out, Geller is basically out to attack all Muslims. The facts and logic will be denied or ignored when they contradict her bigoted ideology.

Pretty pathetic of Geller to ignore the Anti-Semitism that existed in Europe for centuries among Europe’s Christians and Christian leaders. Blaming Muslims for Hitler’s Anti-Semitism is laughable. What’s really pathetic and we’ve broached this subject before but Geller’s approach to Muslims mirrors much of the shit that’s been thrown at Jews in the past and present.
