I would appreciate your elaborating on your comment:
“There is so much wrong with this article that it is exhausting to even contemplate pointing out the actual facts.”

Hopefully you are now over your exhaustion after having had 5 days to recuperate since making this stupid and inane comment and even more hopefully you might have gained enough strength to be ready to point out just three examples of what you claim is wrong with my article,

C’mon Maree – enough of the racist rant. Please focus on a discussion of my article.

What have I got wrong?

Black is white and white is black. There is so much wrong with this article that it is exhausting to even contemplate pointing out the actual facts. People all over the world can now see for themselves via the internet that the Israeli government is run by racist religious fanatics and a Moldovian night club bouncer. Rabbi’s are warning Jews not to rent to Arabs, and their wives are warning young women not to go out with, or even work with Arab people. They are even boycotting a supermarket that hires Arabs.
No doubt the Australian newspaper with it’s right wing zionist commentators will continue to support Israel, but the Australian public are becoming more aware of the plight of the Palestinians and no amount of ridiculous “anti-semitic” charges will turn the tide. It would be refreshing to read an article by a Jewish writer who can acknowledge that Palestinians are human too.

The S.M.H. has become nothing more than a second-class, left-populist rag whose “writers” come from the Goebbels’ school of propaganda.

As to the minor rant of LP above: s/he probably prefers her soi-disant “billions of my tax dollars” [sic] to go towards the Jihadist Victory Mosque which is being built on top the remains of American victims at Ground Zero.

You only question one of the Herald’s inaccurate or misleading statements that I raised in my article.

Does that you mean you agree the rest were inaccurate or misleading?

The only one you question is the attack on the King David Hotel. It housed not only the British Army Headquarters but also the British Administration. It was a legitimate military target. Had the British not ignored calls to vacate the building the tragedy that occurred would have been greatly lessened.

Civilians unfortunately become innocent victims when military targets are attacked.

Would you call the multitude of civilian deaths caused during the course of US attacks on military targets in Iraq and Afghanistan -” terrorism”?

The facts LP seems to ignore are that Israel does include Gaza and the West Bank yet it permits its arab residents to occupy these areas. As a US citizen you should be proud that one of the very few domestic and international policies of not only Obama but also previous US presidents of recent decades, has been to support Israel. The US makes a bad habit of backing losers with tax payers money, Israel is the exception.

Another sad rant from someone who won’t be happy until the borders of Israel include the West Bank and Gaza, and the citizens one and all take a loyalty oath to the Torah. Mr. Singer does seem to have the ignoble distinction of trying to prove a moral justification for the terrorist attack on the King David Hotel. Perhaps he also believes that the Stern Gang were freedom fighters. Well Mr. Singer, as a U.S. citizen I am sick to death of watching billions of my tax dollars, and those my children will have to pay poured into the economy of Israel, with a negative return to the U.S. Given the amount of money we pay, when President Obama said stop the settlements Netanyahu should have saluted crisply.
