Dear Singer, please don't feel deflated but I include for your edification a few details about Paul Craig Roberts. A full list of his accomplishments can be obtained from his website.

I'm afraid that what he says trumps you completely!

I don't know what your CV is - but I hope you have sufficient intelligence to point out which of the above wars originated in Washington or Israel.

Perhaps you could ask Paul Craig Roberts to provide the answers for you - if you don't know.

Drop him a line and get him to respond on your behalf.

Singer, I'm not a Palestinian who can be ordered around and punished and humiliated and, if needs be, taken to an Israeli jail and tortured or worse, bombed into submission.

And I see through your infantile array of tricks which try to divert any real discussion of the sixty-plus years of war crimes and brutality by Israel.

Paul Craig Roberts has a C.V. which is truly impressive. And he has the intelligence to see who are the real villains in our world.

Israel and the U.S. head the list!

Squirm and wriggle as much as you like. I will not let you off the hook until you admit that Roberts has made a claim which neither he nor you can substantiate.

You won't let me off the hook! What a silly little man you are, Singer.

That you would criticize Dr Roberts given his massive C.V. is laughable. Compared to him, you are a one-eyed minnow and he is an intellectual elephant.

Tell you what, why don't you write to him and tell him that you are 'the' David Singer, an Australian lawyer and Israeli-apologist, and demand that he explain himself to you?

He would probably say "...er, David who?"
