Those who don't see it are lacking in logic or are willfully blind.

A "gentleman" with whom I occasionally debate the the middle-east conflict, will, after he has no other answer, falls back on this statement:
"Well, if I lived somewhere where I wasn't wanted, I would just leave."

We've debated a number of times over the years, always coming at the argument from a different angle than the previos argument. But invariably he will fall back on "then they should just leave".

It is to me a source of deep frustration. After each "discussion, I vow "never again". But, inexoribly I'm drawn to try and "break through" his closed-minded ignorance.

Pray for me brothers 8^)

Regards,

1. Has he said this to the Arabs?

2 Has he considered that over a million Mizrachi Jews are in Israel because they did leave their "death-to-the-Jews" chanting Arab neighbors?

That's essentially how Israel was, and is being, populated in the first place.

Out of curiosity though, you might as if he's proposing moving 5 million or so to his neighborhood.
