Silverstein Puts His Foot Deeper In His Mouth: More Jewish Monsters Among Us

Richard Silverstein continues his anti-Jewish tirades against Israel. Recently he displays a video with young Anglo Jews commenting negatively on Obama's speech in Cairo. Well, I think for once that Richard is partially correct. You can't expect people to sympathize with wild rantings like these. I can guarantee that some of these kids wearing kippot are not religious, like many of the American Jewish kids who come here to acquaint themselves with their Jewish roots. Certainly I agree with his condemnation of the behavior of these kids and the excessive profanity and disrespectful derogatory language. One kid yelled out "white power"-he is certainly an idiot, particularly if he is a Jew.

But, the self-hate Fuhrer is not off the hook. His disgusting title for his article "More Jewish Monsters Among Us" is ironic. Assuming Silverstein is somehow a Jew, he would actually be included in that category! It's great that he is concerned with the Arab's well-being, but they don't believe in "Tikun Olam," and Silverstein doesn't have the maturity and self-awareness to point that out-so I will. Jews of his generation should be more concerned about giving their kids a Torah education and avoiding assimilation, not being bogged down in a vicious political circle that has no end in sight. Richard never talks about the assimilation problem in the U.S., which is in itself a lie. When others bring us the issue he looks the other way and censors them. Perhaps you need the "tikun," huh Richard?
