Elliot Temple drafted a hypothetical “Conversation on Israel,” in order “to show what it’s like talking to a certain type of person.” An excerpt, which gets to the heart of the matter:
curi: Are you aware of even one of the wars in which the Arab nations around Israel tried to destroy Israel?
Isyn: It wasn’t quite like that. You can’t prove that happened.
curi: So whatever I say about the facts of the matter, you will dismiss, even if I cite a half dozen sources for each claim? On the basis that my sources are all biased or imperfect.
Isyn: Right.
