It looks like our work exposing the lies and untruths of anti-Israel blogger Richard Silverstein are finally paying off.
In a report dealing with last Thursday’s explosion at a major Syrian weapons depot in Latakia, Israel’s Channel 2 says the following:
??????, ???? ??? “????? ????” ?? ?????? ???’?? ?????????? – ?? ????? ??? ?? ????? ???? ????. ?? ????? ?? ???????? ?? ???? ????????? ??????? ?? ?????? ???? ??.
This translates as:
“At the same time, the website “Tikkun Olam” of Richard Silverstein posted that Israel attacked the port city. Please note that the credibility of the website and reports it contains are doubtful.”
Doubtful or Doubtfire?
In the television report, Channel 2’s Ehud Yaari quotes Silverstein with the disclaimer that his claims are generally “dubious.” (from 1:10)
Ironically, this is the image on Silverstein’s Twitter page:
Note the quote displayed.
I would suggest this is more appropriate:
Thanks to Benny for the heads up.
