'Insights' from Israel by Russell Matheson MP

I know, it's getting tedious but...

"Liberal MP Russel Matheson (Macarthur NSW) said he left Australia as a friend of Israel and returned 'a stronger friend." (Rambamites report back, Australian Jewish News, 16/10/15)

That's the general idea, Russ...

"I don't understand why the world is leaving Israel hanging dry."

Has no idea...

"Matheson said his visit to Beersheva [sic] was a highlight of the trip, commenting that the majority of the horses in the famous light horse infantry were trained at Menangle in his electorate."

Fascinating...

"He also noted the small size of Israel and the proximity of its neighbours could only be truly appreciated following a visit to the country."

Can't do the maths...

NB: Liberal MP Peter Hendy (Eden-Monaro, NSW), Labor MP Rob Mitchell (McEwan, Vic), and Senator Chris Ketter (QLD) "also participated in the trip," but did not, for whatever reason, sing for their AIJAC supper.
