Exclusion order on Pamela Geller (from The Netherlands and the UK)

I have asked the Netherlands Justice Ministry to issue an
exclusion order, barring Pamela Geller Oshry from the Netherlands, and I have
asked the British Home
Secretary to issue an exclusion
order, barring her from the United Kingdom. Better known as Pamela Geller,
she is the sole author of the xenophobic, racist, right-wing blog 'Atlas
Shrugs'. (For coverage of the blog by others, see LGF Watch)

In
general, I believe that the American right is America's problem. However, the US
'counter-jihadist' movement has begun building links with the
xenophobic-populist parties in Europe, united by the fear of 'Eurabia'. They
have adopted Geert Wilders in particular, and Pamela Geller is his strongest
supporter in the US blogosphere. Like some other supporters there (e.g. Robert
Spencer of Jihad Watch)
she has now begun fundraising for him.

Geller
recently expressed her general support for nationalism in Europe.

Nationalism
isn't bad. American nationalism wasn't bad, has never been bad. British
nationalism hasn't been bad. French nationalism isn't bad. Polish nationalism
isn't bed. Czech nationalism wasn't bad.

She supported the
recent anti-Islam rally organised by Pro-Köln,
a regional xenophobic-populist party which is active in building contacts among
European right-wing parties. The meeting signals the shift
to pro-Israel, pro-Jewish, anti-Islam positions, among xenophobic-populist
and nationalist parties in Europe. It is not all opportunistic, since there is a
genuine anti-Islam
movement in Europe, but some of those involved are very recent converts to
the strategy.

The formal reasons for my request to bar Geller are:

1. Pamela Geller gives organisational support to, and solicits funds for, Geert
   Wilders and his PVV (Freedom Party). In doing so, she supports a party that is
   explicitly nationalist, anti-immigration, and anti-minority.
2. Geller is attempting to influence elections for the Dutch and European
   parliaments, from the United States, by financial means – although in the United
   States itself, foreign political donations are illegal.
3. Supporters of the PVV use death threats as a regular tactic, and
   fund-raising for the PVV constitutes de facto support for this tactic.
4. Geller distributes in the United States xenophobic texts and images,
   authored by Geert Wilders, and directed against ethnic minorities in Europe.
5. Geller has begun to promote the Flemish nationalist Filip Dewinter (and his
   party Vlaams Belang) in the United States, and distributes xenophobic speeches
   by Dewinter.
6. Geller promotes in the United States the activities of the German
   xenophobic-populist party Pro-Köln. She has regularly written in support of
   their anti-Islam meetings, at which neo-fascist and right-populist parties are
   represented: among others, Vlaams Belang, the Czech
   Národní
   Strana, the French Front National,
   and the Austrian FPÖ.
7. Through her activities, Geller contributes to the emergence of a
   transatlantic xenophobic movement, and to increasing co-operation among
   xenophobic right-wing parties.
8. Geller seeks to preserve the nation-states (and especially the State of
   Israel), and to preserve their identity and culture. In this way she obstructs
   both innovative state formation, and cultural innovation.
9. Geller does not recognise the freedom of conscience, with regard to nations
   and peoples. Specifically, she does not recognise attempts to destroy the state
   of Israel as legitimate, although she supports Vlaams Belang, a party that
   emphatically seeks the destruction of Belgium.
10. She is convinced that her own views represent an absolute truth, which must
    be rigidly adhered to. She attacks her political opponents in a hysterical tone,
    that borders on incitement to violence. For instance, she describes other Jews
    who don't share her hard-line right-wing views on Israel and the Palestinians,
    as "Jewicidal" or "jihadi".
11. Geller openly advocates the use of torture, inside and outside the United
    States. In combination with her support for racial profiling – classification as
    a terrorist suspect on the basis of ethnic origin – this constitutes a physical
    threat to immigrant minorities in the EU member states.
