Tell him that you understand his position perfectly, because you know that it is necessary to treat his statements as a joke that he was writing under duress, nudge nudge, wink wink, because you know that in his society, if he were to say something positive and truthful about the United States and word got out, he would be murdered by his "friends" in the street, with no trial, after being tagged as a Zionist collaborator, and they would all dip their hands in his blood and smear it on their faces while the women would pass out candies to celebrate his death...
Perfect.
