Quite an achievement, I'd say! There's nothing like consistency. By the way, I appreciate you taking the time to read the piece and respond but hope you're not taking this duck thing too personally as it just dawned on me that Kennard might be a pseudonym for Canard.

True, but he did it in 20 seconds of a long speech. You did it in eight of eight paragraphs.

You may well be right, but I took the view that if Bibi managed to insert eight 'ducks' – and that's no stage joke, before you ask – into his party piece within 20 seconds, I should attempt to do at least as well over eight paragraphs.

Am I mistaken or did he just lump in the 'right wingers' such as the entire national religious camp with the Haredim as 'non-contributors' to Israeli society? That's a pretty gross over-site considering that the national religious are largely middle-class tax payers who serve disproportionately in the army, and disproportionately in combat roles…

Yes, it's taking the analogy too far.
