Richard Silverstein and friends
My Seattle-based colleague, Mike of the Mike Report is engaged in an unfair fight with another Seattle blogger, Israel-hater Richard Silverstein, who devotes every word on his blog to condemning every last aspect about Israel. Here is Mike's latest example of shooting fish in the proverbial barrel.

Silverstein's recent piece about Israeli attitudes about gays is a case in point. He trots out some survey that says that 43% of Israelis regard homosexuality as "unacceptable", whatever that means. He also shows a chart that shows that Israel comes off pretty well when compared to most countries-particularly Israel's neighbors (where gays run the risk of being murdered or even hanged by the state in some cases.) Silverstein overlooked all that when posting this survey.
I could point that out to the eccentric Mr Silverstein, but he would ban me from his blog for some rules violation (making him look like a dolt).
Strange duck this guy Silverstein.
