Richard Silverstein’s Bad Judgment

Aussie Dave

Gabbyspoppy at Pro-Semite Undercover has seemingly set off anti-Israel blogger Richard Silverstein with some comments that include this:

He [Silverstein] also has for sale his photography (which mostly consists of pictures of his kids) cornering the pedophile market. But what the heck, a dollar is a dollar.

Silverstein’s response to this is predictable. He tries to turn it around, suggesting that the pedophilia reference would seem to suggest Gabbyspoppy’s predilection for it.

I am not stupid enough to suggest Richard Silverstein - as loathsome as his views and his treatment of people with whom he disagrees are - is a pedophile. But I do find it offputting that he would be offering for sale personal pictures - including those of his children - given the very real risk that pedophiles could purchase them.

I think Gabbyspoppy has a point. Silverstein does seem to be putting his pursuit of money ahead of the welfare of his family.
