Media scorecard on "secret memo" fiasco (updated)

Here is a scorecard on how well different media outlets handled the fake "scoop" of supposed Israeli war plans that were revealed by the egomaniac serial liar and anti-Israel blogger Richard Silverstein: Media outlet Quote Skepticism about story and Silverstein Grade Arutz-7 What will an Israeli strike on Iran look like? American blogger Richard Silverstein on Wednesday published what he claimed...

The hilarious tale of the Dick, the Beeb and the "secret Israeli attack plans" (updated)

Richard Silverstein, the anti-Israel blogger who claims to be the constant recipient of super-top-secret information from Israel's intelligence community, had a huge scoop yesterday: Israel's actual war plans against Iran! In the past few days, I received an Israeli briefing document outlining Israel’s war plans against Iran. The document was passed to me by a high-level...

Is there a lower limit for Israel-haters in academia?

By Petra Marquardt-Bigman The Spring 2017 edition of Fathom – a journal that offers a lot of interesting material on Israel – includes a review of a book that was published last year under the title “Israel and Palestine: Alternative Perspectives on Statehood.” As this title indicates, the book is yet another attempt to legitimize proposals to do away with the world’s...

The Sting (updated)

I don't usually spend much time on the anti-Israel blogosphere, but most readers here are probably familiar with wrong-headed, thin-skinned, and notoriously unreliable blogger Richard Silverstein. Since last year the Seattle-based blogger has made a career of publishing news items that were censored by the Israeli military. He has made a name of himself more recently by taking unsourced allegations from people who email him and...

A strange definition of "tikun olam"

Crazed anti-Israel nutcase blogger Richard Silverstein has an exclusive! The face of the Israeli terror machine may have reared its ugly head again in the world. This time it may have produced yet another massive act of sabotage (Hebrew original) at an IRG missile base west of Teheran. ... Ynet raises the possibility that it was a deliberate act of sabotage on not just...

"Shallow thought processes"

One of the more frustrating sites in the JBlogosphere is the idealistically and wrongfully named Tikun Olam. I don't spend much time there because the blog author is far left wing and his talking points are pretty much identical to those of Saeb Erekat. The only difference is that Erekat knows he is a baldfaced liar, and Richard Silverstein is probably just excessively naive.Unfortunately, people like Erekat get strengthened by fantasists like Silverstein....

08/24 Links Pt2: Russian 'documentary' claims Jews behind Titanic, Chernobyl and 9/11; BDS encounters a fight in Europe

From Ian: Anniversary of 1929 Hebron Massacre and Ethnic Cleansing of Jews Hebron is a hot spot in many ways. Hebron and its immediately surrounding Arab areas are the single largest source of terror attacks during the so-called Knife or Stabbing Intifada. It’s also a place where anti-Zionist and left-wing “liberal Zionist” American Jews love to gather to protest the Jewish...

The bizarre conspiracy theories of the anti-Israel Left

A nice piece at False Dichotomies by Alex Stein: The best – and kindest – way to describe Richard Silverstein is that he’s silly. Very silly indeed. He sincerely believes that his blog makes an important contribution to world peace, so important that he regularly asks readers to give him money. After a frustrating first few years as a blogger, while he tried to find a bigger audience, most respectable publications realised that he was...

10/26 Links Pt2: Phillips: How the West has created antisemitism denial; Glick: What was Rabin’s legacy?; Liberation, Not Colonization, Motivated the Creation of the Jewish State

From Ian: Melanie Phillips: How the West has created antisemitism denial Among Democrats, it is commonplace to compare US President Donald Trump to Hitler and the Republicans to Nazis.

10/18 Links Pt2: Why Israel Can't Trust UN for Protection, Hecklers Flee Israeli Speaker

From Ian: Why Israel Can't Trust UN for Protection The Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs (JCPA), a pre-eminent Israeli think tank, has produced and published a historical/topographic video explaining the basis for Israel's rejection of the idea that international peace-keeping troops can be introduced into Judea and Samaria, to offer Israel protection if it withdraws its forces in a "peace treaty." The Jerusalem Center is headed by Israel's former...

Tuesday links

From Ian: Clueless in Seattle: Richard Silverstein’s ‘fantasy’ source "The point is that, given conflicting reports, it’s too soon to make definitive statements. But Silverstein doesn’t even mention alternatives. He just goes on his ideologically tinged rampage. Anyone who cares about the truth and relies on Silverstein is going to be disappointed. That’s for sure." The "Pro-Palestinians" "Once again, it has been exposed that Americans and Europeans...

08/19 Link Pt2: Five Things You Need to Know About World Vision

From Ian: Five Things You Need to Know About World Vision The allegations against World Vision's man in the Gaza Strip are lethal to the organization's credibility. World Vision collects money through a child-sponsorship program in which donors give money to assist and benefit individual children and here is Halabi allegedly confessing to turning these donations into some...

02/28 Links Pt2: Richard Silverstein’s racist abuse continues; Anelka 5-match ban for ‘quenelle’

From Ian: Richard Silverstein’s racist abuse of Chloe Valdary continues: calls her a ‘house slave’ So, Silverstein, a Comment is Free contributor, has now called Valdary a ‘Negro Uncle Tom’ and a ‘House Slave’! This blog has previously exposed Silverstein’s defense of Hamas, his suggestion that Israel behaves like Nazi Germany (and, of course, his faux scoops), but after his latest racist outburst is there really anyone who can honestly claim that...
