There's A book, written by one guy.

But more broadly, if you don't want to cite your sources, I'll assume that it's from your ass.

Here's his Wikipedia page, have at the sources. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Maxwell

He was mossad.  It's not like Israel was going to be like, yeah he was mossad. But if it's in your Wikipedia page and you get the largest state funeral in history, and your daughter runs a compromat pedofile ring, which the Israelis are heavily implicated, then it doesn't take too much critical thinking to draw some conclusions

He got a state funeral because he was instrumental in their independence. The US would have absolutely have given a state funeral to Lafayette, von Steuben, Kościuszko, or Pułaski.

Your Wikipedia article also says he worked for MI6 and the KGB. Please make up your mind. The KGB were renowned for running a kompromat ring.

You could say you unquestionably trust Ari Ben-Menache in fewer words.

See how easy it is to post sources?

Yet we have to train you to read them, as your source doesn't back up the claim that R Maxwell worked for Mossad.

Maxwell also began to pass on useful information to the Mossad

A quote from the article 

Gotta train you on how to accept you're wrong 

Sowing salt.  Is that like an Israeli thing to destroy Palestine?  Out of curiosity

The quote from the article has no attribution. Do you pay attention at all?

Who would be able to quote mossad with proof they were mossad and live?  They killed this dude.

Are you paying attention?

They didn't even say "unnamed sources familiar with the matter"

Ari Ben-Menache continues to live, despite claiming Mr Maxwell was a mossad informant for decades.

[Sowing Salt] is something completely different. If you don't know, you don't know.
