As midyear approaches, I was looking at HonestReporting’s most popular content of 2013. These two blog posts are by far the most widely read. 1. The Hypocrisy of a Black Miss Israel?: A feminist writer has a big time problem with the Miss Israel crown going to an Ethiopian. 2. Israel Made Me Beat My Wife: A warped look at domestic violence in Gaza. I want to know which one’s your favorite — and why.
