Even though I have him on "Ignore" ... I could see his post when you responded to it.

Might you not have pointed out to him ... not that it would do any good ... that Israel HAS a Supreme Court ... which can issue orders that other Israelis obey ... out of respect for the Rule Of Law ... something dramatically absent in Arab "cultures"?

So dumb he doesn't even understand when he's undermining his own arguments.
