Richard Silverstein: Lies, Terror Support, Bigotry…

ERIKA SCHULTZ / THE SEATTLE TIMES

With the media once again getting duped by anti-Israel blogger Richard Silverstein, and based on a number of requests by readers, I have compiled this list of links pointing to Silverstein’s:

  • Unreliability, whether it be lies or lack of factchecking
  • Defence of Hamas and palestinian terrorists, or otherwise explaining away their crimes
  • Ignorance of Israel and Judaism, despite his claims of expertise
  • Bigotry
  • Hypocrisy
  • Possible crimes
  • Following by antisemites

No doubt this list will be expanded over time. Feel free to send me any other examples you find, and point this list to those who consider him a credible source.

For all my posts dealing with Richard Silverstein, see here.

Note that I have provided links to support my opinions about Silverstein. You can form your own conclusions.
