Richard Silverstein Puts His Foot In It

Anti-Israel blogger and self-confessed “expert” on all things Middle East, Richard Silverstein, decided to mock Israelis tweeting about International Hummus Day. In the process, he has provided us with some more comedy gold and solidified his credentials as an ignoramus of the highest order.
I think the following exchange on Twitter speaks for itself.
Pro-Israel crowd ecstatically tweeting about International Hummus Day. Kid you not!

@mattcornell Palestinians should hold International Zatar Day on Tisha B'Av as revenge.

@adamhollandblog Ignorant hasbarist dolt, hummus isn't made from garbanzos. It's made from sesame seeds. You're confusing it with felafel.

@drmikeh49 Yup, too late, too dumb, too witless. @adamhollandblog

Leading hasbarista thinks hummus is made fr garbanzo beans. Must take class on ME cuisine. @adamhollandblog

@adamhollandblog Hummus is prepared with both garbanzo AND tahina (sesame). We’re both right.

Oops! I guess Silverstein’s secret source didn’t educate him on this secret sauce.
But believe it or not, Silverstein shows even more ignorance of Israel, not to mention a complete lack of awareness of sarcasm (despite trying to regularly use it himself)

@shunracat That’s what I recall when I lived there.But just wanted to be sure. How can an Israeli claim they don’t eat hummus?
— Tikun Olam (@richards1052) May 14, 2013
@shunracat This guy works 4 CAMERA, his politics are as fucked as his ME culinary sense.
— Tikun Olam (@richards1052) May 14, 2013
@gileadini U should apologize 4 yr ignorant claim Israelis don’t eat hummus.
— Tikun Olam (@richards1052) May 14, 2013
@gileadini I’ve confirmed that yr sense of witty discourse leaked out of yr ass long ago.

I am beginning to think Silverstein is likely a Zionist ‘plant’, an actor hired to make the anti-Israel crowd look even worse than they already do.
I mean, can someone this ignorant and laughable yet self-important be for real?
