Jerusalem Post Mocks Little Dickie Silverstein
Silverstein has never met an Israeli or a "Zionist" he does not wish to see blown up and murdered.
We suspect he runs about his Seattle home giving the mirrors little Nazi Sieg Heil salutes. See Little Dickie's pals marching against settler occupation in this photo: http://static.flickr.com/9/12815618_a1715693cf.jpg
Here are some comments from the Jerusalem Post:
Silverstein's article triggered an immediate and widespread war of words. Posting on the Guardian blog, one of the first protesters, "Lipschitz," said: "A non-Zionist rabbi and his wife lie dead, but it's not anti-Semitic because one of the terrorists says they wanted to avenge the suffering of Palestinians?! ... You give this wannabe mass-murderer the benefit of your doubt.
"How about I go out and murder a couple of black people because I'm angry with Mugabe? Or
Congo? Or Rwanda? Would that be racist? Does that help you to understand the idiocy of your moral bypass? ... "Al-Qaida declares itself to be anti-Semitic. They go out and kill Jews. If you want your local terrorist group to be allowed into the al-Qaida franchise then you have to do likewise. That's why this group kills Jews."
A poster named "Geary" posted sarcastic approval, "I agree with Mr. Silverspoon. It was all an entirely justified reaction to the continuing brutal Israeli occupation of Kashmir."
Alex Stein, an Israeli writer, posted on the Guardian blog: "In the midst of the maudlin clamor for explanation, one thing is clear: The terrorists wanted to kill Jews... And in choosing their target, they also gave the lie to the idea that this was some kind of proportionate response to the oppression of the Palestinians. If that was their agenda, they could have targeted the Israeli
Consulate. Instead, they attacked a Jewish communal center and in the process killed a Satmar Hasid, known for its virulent anti-Zionism."...Using a similar tone, Silverstein addressed his detractors in a post on Engage: "Chew on this, my little Jewish holy warriors," before linking to an article that quotes the surviving Mumbai terrorist saying they "were sent with a specific mission of targeting Israelis to avenge atrocities on Palestinians." Writing on Engage, Israeli analyst and Jerusalem Post blog contributor Petra Marquardt-Bigman said it was important to counter Silverstein as "in addition to trying to claim he is the one to define what's Jewish-left-progressive, he also tries to define what coexistence between Jews and Muslims requires."

Little Dickie Defends the Mumbai Nazis - they were Not Anti-Semitic
Silverstein Outdoes Himself
by Aussie Dave
Self-important windbag Richard Silverstein wants everyone to know that the Mumbai terrorists - who went out of their way to find the Jewish Chabad House
and murder Jews (in a city comprising approximately 18 million people, of which
about 5,000 are Jews) - were not anti-Semitic.And he knows this because the terrorists never said even one anti-Semitic
word.
http://www.richardsilverstein.com/tikun_olam/2008/12/05/the-jewish-jihadis/
In the Forward, an Indian who spoke for hours with the Chabad House terrorist never indicated in his report that anti-Semitic words were spoken to him.Brilliant!
Somehow, the fact that the terrorists may never have said “kikes” to Rabbi and Rebbetzin Holtzberg and the other Jewish victims as they murdered them in cold blood is hardly compelling evidence of the absence of anti-Semitic intent. Then again, the fact that Silverstein has a blog and claims to know what he is talking about is not compelling evidence of the presence of intellect.
If you don’t believe me, read his post, which includes the words “Jewish jihadis” and a comparison between the Mumbai terrorists and the “Hebron pogromists” (his words - not mine - for the more violent of the Jewish residents of Hebron who despite their terrible actions have not murdered anyone).

A Review of Little Dickie's Silly Little Blog:
For even the most casual readers of TIKUNHAMAS, an accumulation of crap from our own “Lil, DICKie KAPOstein it is common knowledge that his critics are “Right-Wing, Likudists, Kahane scum” engaged in the most horrid sin of Lashon Hora. Yet the main theme of this SCUMBAG is to ridicule and bad mouth every Jew that doesn’t agree with him. The irony is breathtaking but hold on it gets even better.
Prior to developing into an unemployed “Basement Blogger of Bile” he was a fund
raiser for Jewish Institutions. The most important attribute to be a fundraiser,
especially among Jewish organizations is the ability to reach out to wealthy
American Jews or Israelis and have them open their checkbooks to any cause he
represents.
Most if not all of this segment of the Jewish community won’t even take his call much less write a check to the organization he represents. To the Jewish community of Seattle, KAPOstein on his best day is considered a pariah and that is when he takes a day or two off from his usual CRAP. KAPOstein’s “fund raising” is on par with Ford’s Edsel as an example of business acumen.
He is now relegated to “pimping” Norman Finkelstein’s books and begging for pennies at his forum “Palestinian Apologists Underground”. He also has for sale his photography (which mostly consists of pictures of his kids) cornering the pedophile market. But what the heck, a dollar is a dollar.
Normally a pathetic creature like this would invoke a certain amount of pity. He’s not worth a pittance of pity when he puts a target on the back of my friends and family and then “justifies” that target. He is only worthy of the scorn and derision that he receives. He earns that derision the “old fashioned way”, he works hard for it.
The “KAPOS” of the 20th century were complicit in the extermination of 6,000,000 Jews. The “KAPOS” of the 21st century are trying to “finish the job”. NOT THIS TIME YOU ASSHOLE.

Oh boo hoo, sobs KapoDickie, claims Seva Brodsky Threatens to Harm Him!
Anyone who attacks Richard Silverstein has our sympathy!
Little Dickie claims on his silly little blog site that Seva Brodsky threatened to do him harm. Evidently, Brodsky's main act of abuse against the world's leading supporter of Hamas terror was to tell the truth about Kapo Dickie. According to Silverstein's blog, Brodsky wrote:
1. Richard. Judenrat in action. Why do my people have so many sickos?
2. Richard, you can go and jump off the bridge…if you are hesitating whether to jump, I can assure you that you should — hell, I would even be willing to give you a push, should you be in need of it.
3. We have enough morons and self-loathing Jews (including you)…
4…You are a…thug.
4. I have to apologize to you for calling you a self-loathing Jew — Richard Silverstein, you are NOT a Jew. You may have been born into Jewish family, but that does not necessarily a Jew make.
You are a person of Jewish lineage, but certainly NOT a Jew. Moreover, you are an enemy of the Jewish people. The evil Torquemada, who went on to become The Grand Inquisitor of Spain, was a convert from Judaism — the grandest Capo of them all. You, of course, have not (yet) reached his stature, but you are still despicable.
Don’t ever let me meet you in person, you over-sensitive thug.
Brodsky also upset Little Dickie when he wrte an essay on "The Unholy Trinity of strange bedfellows: Islamo-Fascists, Neo-Nazis, and left-wing radical extremists." All three terms pretty much define Dickie.

Little Dickie Campaigns for Hamas Terror

Silverstein on Hamas
Aussie Dave
On Richard Silverstein’s anti-Israel blog Tikun Olam (link not provided, since he loves getting traffic), “Kane” asks a simple question in the comments:
# On August 26th, 2008 at 11:15 amKane said:
Richard,
I would be interested in hearing what you think of what Orgo said (Orgo had commented that there is no evidence connecting Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh to any terror attacks -ed.) Do you think Haniyeh is a terrorist or connected to terror attacks?
Thanks.
Silverstein responds:
# On August 26th, 2008 at 12:44 pmRichard Silverstein said:
@Kane: Haniyeh is less connected to terror attacks than Yitzchak Shamir was. Let me make clear that I’m no friend of Hamas. I wish there were another authentic, popular grassroots Palestinian political movement instead of it. I don’t like their politics or their willingness to embrace armed violent resistance. That being said, they ARE an authentic, grassroots popular movement. Until some other group can beat them in a legitimate election, they should be recognized as a legitimate government.
So there you have it, folks. Silverstein is clearly stating:
1. The leader of Hamas is less connected to terrorism than was a former Prime Minister of Israel.
2. Hamas engages in “resistance”, not terrorism.

Jane Says: April 6th, 2008 at 7:06 pm
Little Dickie Kapostein, the real name for Richard Silverstein, is a fanatic anti-Semite and Neo-Nazi who seeks Israel’s annihilation and a new Holocaust. The semi-literate Silverstein would like to be the next Jewish Neo-Nazi after Norman Finkelstein crashed and burned. There has never been an act of Arab savagery against Jews he does not justify, nor an act of Jewish self-defense that he supports. His blog is little more than his exercise in political masturbation, trying to draw attention to himself. He has been unemployed for years.

I count 16 attacks on me penned by one Richard Silverstein during the past four years, or one every three months; is it fair to say that this leftist is obsessed with me? I make a habit of ignoring him, but his latest screed in London's Guardian, "Uninvited Guests," contains not one but two errors, so here follow my corrections.
(1) Silverstein writes that Tariq Ramadan's visa to teach at Notre Dame "was revoked in part because Daniel Pipes and other neocons lied, claiming Ramadan was a supporter of Islamic terror."
Reply: On Ramadan being "a supporter of Islamic terror": Sorry Silverstein, but the Department of Homeland Security established that he donated funds to the "Comité de Bienfaisance et Secours aux Palestiniens" and the "Association de Secours Palestinien." Further, Ramadan acknowledges having donated funds "totaling approximately $900 to a Swiss Palestinian-support group that is now on the American blacklist."
On the matter of my role in Tariq Ramadan's exclusion from the United States, Ramadan himself cannot make up his own mind on this subject, having both blamed me and absolved me of responsibility.
But I have been unequivocal and consistent on this topic, pointing out that I had no connection to the Ramadan exclusion. See "Tariq Ramadan, the Chicago Tribune, and Me," where I explain how it was Ramadan's blaming me for his exclusion, actually, that got me to write about him, not the other way around.
If Silverstein thinks this too a lie, I challenge him to document what my role in the exclusion was. (Incidentally, this is not the first challenge my colleagues and I have proposed to Silverstein; in August 2007, in "Richard Silverstein's Fictions about Campus Watch, Paula Stern, and Nadia Abu El-Haj," we asked him to show just how Campus Watch got Paula Stern, a Barnard College alumna, to circulate a petition to deny tenure to Barnard anthropologist Nadia Abu El-Haj. Over a year later, we have yet to receive his documentation.)
Richard Silverstein.
(2) Silverstein writes about Rashid Khalidi that he was "similarly smeared while he was under consideration for an endowed chair at Princeton and also fired from teaching a course to New York public school teachers about the Middle East, because of false charges made by Daniel Pipes of supporting Arab radicalism."
Reply: As always, I am delighted to be ascribed the power to deny a so-called professor like Khalidi positions at Princeton University and the New York City Department of Education. Thank you, Silverstein.
But how amusing that Silverstein should deny Khalidi's support for Arab radicalism. The best proof was his having served as a spokesman for the Palestinian Liberation Organization a quarter century ago, when it was still on the U.S. State Department's list of terrorist organizations. That fact has been publicly known since Asaf Romirowsky and Jonathan Calt Harris wrote it up in 2004 at "Arafat Minion as Professor," and which reemerged recently with the focus on Khalidi's relationship to Barack Obama.
As for Khalidi's writings, they certainly strike me as "supporting Arab radicalism." To take one nearly at random: In a recent Nation article, "Palestine: Liberation Deferred," Khalidi demonstrates his usual apologetic attitude towards Palestinian "resistance" (i.e., terrorism) and callousness towards its Israeli victims:
Many Palestinians understandably cling to the legitimate right of any people under occupation to resist their oppressors. They see only the extensive, continuous violence directed by Israel against the Palestinians, much of it structural and integral to the maintenance of the occupation. They cannot understand that because of Israel's cloak of permanent victimhood, its massive violence remains either invisible or justified in the West, while every Israeli casualty seems to be mourned there with infinite sadness and is taken as another sign of the inherent barbarity of the Palestinians.
Comment: Who can take my critics seriously when they persist in getting simple facts wrong? Why do they so often shoot themselves in the foot this way? (June 6, 2008)
