David, I see that you just won't let things go, you are blinded in your myopic view of history and understanding of what is really happening on the ground.

You stated that Rabin, as part of his vision, and one supported by Peres and Netanyahu, had stated "At the same time, we also promise that the non-Jewish citizens of Israel -- Muslim, Christian, Druze and others -- will enjoy full personal, religious and civil rights, like those of any Israeli citizen. Judaism and racism are diametrically opposed."

Well that is interesting considering these facts:

Netanyahu and his cronies are the most overt and blatant racists in modern Jewish history.

They have been working on a disgustingly discriminatory piece of legislation, one which will give Israelis who have served in the army a whole raft of extra rights in land and housing, employment, salaries, and the provision of public and private services.

How ironic that Israel's one and a half million Palestinian's are excluded from military service.

This legislation will therefore only benefit Jews.

If, as Rabin envisioned, Judaism and racism are diametrically opposed, I fail to see how you can stand on your soap-box and pontificate about Clinton, when Netanyahu and his supporters, including you obviously, support such a pathetic and immoral stance against Arabs living in Israel.

If it left the Hasbarist troll speechless it would be money well spent.

Politicians of most countries are smart if they receive money while in office they will be found to be corrupt BUT if the people they have helped give them directorships or highly paid speaking engagements etc after they have left office it is okay.

$500,000 for 45 minutes sounds like a pay off.

Don't forget Hillary Clinton was secretary of state for a long time recently.

As the Singer sings his fraudulent song,

He never admits to Israeli wrong.

He ever gilds the Jewish lily,

Even when he's clearly silly.

He cannot see his homeland's plight,

One that fills the world with fright.

Singer proves beyond all doubt,

That religion is a dead-end route!

2. Are you aware that some Arabs do indeed serve in the Israeli military?

Go take your Jew hatred and spread it elsewhere.

As usual you have no comment to make - only a personal attack on me.

#Phillip S

Who made the payoff and what was it for?

Put up or shut up.

Are you lumping all ex-politicians who go on speaking tours and earn huge speakers' fees as indulging in this conduct?

#David G

Pity you don't put your poetic skills towards addressing the specific matters in my article with which you disagree - or indeed aren't there any?

The lily is not being gilded by me.

If my facts or conclusions are wrong - be man enough to be prepared to say why and justify your viewpoint.

Don't hide between sneer and innuendo from your position of anonymity.

Well David as an actual Ex Serviceman I receive no benefits to the exception of other sections of Australian society.

So try again.

The hole is getting deeper, again...
