Yesterday, Judy Mozes, television personality and the wife of Silvan Shalom, Israel’s Interior Minister, made the news – for what was roundly condemned as a “racist” tweet.
Leaving aside discussions around whether the tweet is actually racist, it is certainly dumb and offensive. Then again, so was calling Netanyahu “chickensh”t”. But I digress.
Israel-hating blogger Richard Silverstein has predictably pounced on this, in another attempt to discredit the Israeli government.

Many observers of this government have noted its extremism, intolerance, propensity to support violence, and racism. Judy Mozes has only reinforced that impression.
This is all very rich coming from Silverstein (see what I did there?).
And let’s not forget his own racist coffee-related “joke.”
Oops!
