Silverstein Lies In Attempt To Cash In On Israeli TV Appearance
Anti-Israel blogger Richard Silverstein is trying to cash in on his few minutes of “fame”, quoting Israel’s Channel 10 news below the donate button on his site:
But like many other things he claims, this is a boldfaced lie.
For a start, the way he has framed the quote, it looks like Channel 10 is asking people to support his blog, the “Wikileaks of Israel.” They never did anything of the kind. In fact, as I pointed out, they mocked him and questioned how he is able to make a living.
But even assuming he is representing the phrase “the Wikileaks of Israel” as coming from Channel 10, this is also a boldfaced lie. Again, as I pointed out, the Channel 10 journalist who interviewed him reported that Silverstein himself refers to his blog as the Wikileaks of Israel, and then proceeded to explain why he is no Wikileaks.
It is abundantly clear that this man has no compunctions about lying to achieve his goals.

Typical Chomsky-esque dishonest misuse of a quote.
chomskyt is a brilliant jew hating bastard
dickie is an in-bred retard of a jew hating bastard
he didnt understand what was being said during the interview
anybody who understands hebrew noticed that Dicky doent have clue about what was said in Hebrew . the Jaron London team took a piss out of him.he is a a sack of shit same as the investigative shit he writes . look at his resume
"attended the Jewish Theological Seminary and Columbia University, earning a BA and Bachelor of Hebrew Literature. I earned an MA in Comparative Literature from UCLA and studied toward a PhD at UC Berkeley. My languages were Hebrew and Yiddish. I spent an undergraduate and graduate year studying Hebrew literature at the Hebrew University." BS
BTW if he speaks Hebrew why didnt he answer in Hebrew at the Israeli chanel 10?!
CORRECTION: In an earlier version of this post, I tried to summarize from memory Dirar Abusisi’s charge sheet, which I’d correctly translated in yesterday’s post. I made two errors. This post has been edited to correct those errors.
sorry dickie, but you cant read, write or speak hebrew
This surprising cartoon is from The Age in Australia, they’re usually content with reprinting Guardian and NYT’s lies. Note at the bottom he directs readers to the Washington Post because the Age has barely referenced Goldstones back flip. http://images.theage.com.au/2011/04/09/2297082/ga…
