I mean he is presumably Jewish and lives in Israel, so I would guess he knows quite a bit about being a minority and experiencing bias.

Jews are a minority in Israel?

No of course not, nor did I claim they are.

Similar question to one above, I don't follow why the (positive) ad hominem bolsters or detract from the arguments.

Because the claim of the comment I was responding to was that Yoav doesn't experience bias and consequently dismisses it, so in this case my comment is a direct refutation of the argument.

We're the "majority" by virtue of internationally gerrymandered borders. In the region as a whole? Yes, we're an indigenous minority.

The Boers are an indigenous minority in southern Africa, but in the 80s I wouldn't have used the Boers as an example of people who really understand the experience of bias as a minority.

What does the word "indigenous" mean?

That's true, he probably sees a lot of anti-Palestinian bias on a regular basis.

And globally a disproportionate amount of anti-Israeli and anti-Jewish bias, obviously.
