Yesterday I posted about DouchebloggerTM Richard Silverstein’s demand for money from his fellow Israel-hating minions.
Now, I’m asking you, in this season of giving, to give back. To support the invaluable work done here. I have to be frank. Very few readers respond to these appeals. A few generous donors once gave $5,000. The rest come in smaller donations. All of them are valued and appreciated. But there are so few of them.
You are the only ones who support what I do. Unlike the two other major progressive I-P blogs, I have neither major media sponsors or major foundations underwriting Tikun Olam (though of course I’d welcome it). It’s just me.
Think about what it takes to do this. The hours it takes to work with sources, research stories, confirm facts, interview informants. Think about the hours of social media promotion I invest to offer these stories to a wider audience. This is a labor of love inspired by a passion for justice. I know you appreciate this or you wouldn’t be here.
All the major religious traditions uphold the value of charity. In Judaism, it’s called tzedakah. It’s different than giving in many other traditions. Tzedakah is something everyone must do. Even those of lesser means. It is not a burden, but a spiritual gift to the giver. I hope you’ll see your gift to support Tikun Olam in the same way.
Please, make your commitment now. Help me make the Middle East a slightly better place by donating now. Give as much as you can.
I’m not sure if anyone gave, but Dickie himself has gone ahead and donated to support another extreme Israel hater – Natali Cohen Vaxberg.
If you click through to the campaign, you will see this:
Cohen Vaxberg is a “performance artist” who posts the most vile and disgusting things in order to display her pathological hatred of Israel.
Like defecating on the Israeli flag (interview with fellow Israel hater David Sheen)
And going to Yad Vashem and desecrating the memory of those who perished in the Holocaust.
It speaks wonders about Silverstein that he has decided to spend some of his hard earned begged for money supporting this atrocious human being. He must truly feel a kinship with her – being a fellow atrocious human being and all.
So if you donated to Silverstein, I hope you support defecating on the Israeli flag and desecrating the memory of those who died in the Holocaust.
I’m guessing you do.
