Someone else unhappy with Obama’s speech is none other than anti-Israel blogger Richard Silverstein, who especially took issue with Obama’s mention of Israel’s right to self-defense!

And there were other troubling omissions and lapses like this:
As for security, every state has the right to self-defense, and Israel must be able to defend itself -– by itself -– against any threat.
Here again, we see no awareness that it is often the Israeli military itself that is not a self-protective defender of Israeli security, but rather an aggressor that kills and maims at will. Where is the recognition that Palestine will need protection from Israeli violence?
I posit the only troubling omission was Silverstein’s father not using a condom.

If G-d forbid there is a Fakeastinian state, it would be appropriate if [censored] Silverstein lived there.
