http://mondoweiss.net/2015/04/calling-gellers-philadelphiaPhilly rejects these messages.
The Interfaith Center of Philadelphia launched a Dare to Understand public messaging campaign, which includes a billboard planned for a public space in the city and the use of social media, to counter the noxious messaging of the Geller ads.
A few days before the bus ads appeared, Mayor Michael Nutter pre-emptively organized a rally in Love Park. Muslim, Christian, and Jewish clergy came together to promote a message of understanding and cooperation among diverse communities. The interfaith crowd of about 100 included political and religious individuals and groups that dont usually stand on the same street corner when they demonstrate.
Pamela Geller is sure one vile human being. No amount of paid-per-post hasbara can wash away her evil.

I regard her the same as I regard Ayatollah Khomeni - dead to me.
In other words, RDO: same side on that issue.

As an Israeli, I am ashamed that my prime minister is a racist
All this week, he made us one consistent promise: In his coming term as prime minister, there will be no hope. It is one promise that we have all come to believe he can keep.

Pamela and Philip are flip sides of the same coin.

(6,171 posts)And I'm very much against all forms of racism.
It would have all good for me if the basic tenets of Zionism were about equal rights for all people native to the Holy Land / former Palestine Mandate / Eretz Yisrael, and not about the supreme rights for one people and no rights for all others.
The only form of Zionism that has no elements of racism whatsoever is post-Zionism.

(58,724 posts)Zionism was a response to racism internationally. Since Jewish people had been persecuted continuously for centuries and been made to feel like outsiders in their own countries, there ought to be a place where they don't have to feel that way. I think that is the history out of which Zionism, understandably developed. Then the events of the Second World War sort of sped up the impetus for such a movement to grow.

Zionism has shown itself to be no better than any other "ism" that denies human rights and actively segregates at the barrel of a gun.
