Her rhetoric is right. Her actions are wrong.

From the link:

Banning hate speech doesn’t end racism or antisemitism. Social pressure does that. It becomes socially unacceptable. To get to that level of unacceptability, we must stand up to hate-mongers like Geller. Clearly, not enough of us are doing so if hate crimes against Muslims in the US tripled in 2010-2011.

Her actions are in perfect accord with her rhetoric. What action would you suggest to fulfill her rhetoric?
