Sloppy Dick
I have long taken to task anti-Israel blogger Richard Silverstein for his cavalier attitude to accuracy and truth. In fact, you needn’t look past last week for some examples of his lies and sloppiness.
Today, he gifted me another example – by linking to this comment on my blog and then using it to post an outright lie: that I personally claimed something I didn’t.

Either someone warned the Dickster that he was skating on thin ice, or perhaps he realized it himself after facing a libel case last week, but whatever the reason, he merely adjusted his post (instead of posting a retraction), further vindicating my decision to always take screenshots from his blog.

And this is the guy who spoke to the NY Times about etiquette in the blogosphere.
About the Author
An Australian immigrant to Israel, Aussie Dave has been blogging since early 2003.Filed Under: General
That comment was mine. Aussie Dave had nothing to do with it.
It was made on the basis of a two minute Google search in Russian. Bad guess, for sure (and it was pointed out by the very next comment which followed mine), but the goal was mainly to illustrate that Petrovich was not, in fact, a surname as Silverstein misinterpreted it.
As for carrying water for Shabak- who does Silverstein think he is carrying water for? Hey Richard, remember your own moaning a few years ago about the neo-Nazis loving your writing too much?
P.S. Since Silverstein is apparently reading the comments here and since he is incapable of telling myself and Aussie Dave apart, here's a reminder for you, Richard. I was once among the first users registered on your message board, under the screenname Womble. I quickly got bored with it though.
I just googled around and found a web site of some Jewish society (it's in Russian): http://goo.gl/LqX5x. They found that there was such a professor in the Kharkov Academy of Municipal Economy, Konstantin Petrovich Vlasov, who was the head of Urban Supply department in the years 1988-1997. It is certain that he was Abu-Sisi's thesis advisor. Here's the page of the department, and Vlasov is mentioned there (in English): http://goo.gl/LVEXc
So the truth finally surfaced. Kapo Dickie shall go to hell.
Meanwhile, the old dick has edited his post again using the info I provided. I have to point out that my name is not Leonid Levin.
The degree to which a person can hate their own people totally amazes me, by the way.
lol
too funny

Silverstein's comment that this blog "carries water for the Shin Bet" reminds me of some anti Israel people in a forum I participate in who, from time to time, claim that there are people who are paid to be "Hasbara posters" in net forums. While they do not necessarily claim that the pro Israel people in the same forum are actual "Hasbara posters" they clearly wish to cast aspirations on them to imply that they cannot be trusted.
Silverstein is doing the same thing here. By labeling this blog as "carrying water for the Shin Bet" he is not actually accusing Aussie Dave of being "one of them" but he is trying to cast aspirations by associating this blog with the Shin Bet (with the false implication that whatever Aussie Dave says on the subject can't be trusted).
This, BTW, sidetracks from the REAL issue here. Which is: Upon whom does the burden of proof lie? Since it was Silverstein who made the claim, it seems the burden of proof lies on him.
apparently, everyone who supports israel is a paid operative
where the heck is my check??
I believe Richard Silverstein is a Zionist. After all he embodies the sentence "Ain leTzion Tzofia", "A watchful eye looking towards Zion".
People whose eyes are closed and mouths are open don't qualify.
Error in translation. Dickie is a Zayinist. Go look up what a Zayin is. A very tiny and uncircumcised one in the case of teh Dickling.
