11. Yes. I know. Obviously, Israel is in the Middle East.

I would think that references to flying with his own arms would be a clue, that this was an attempt at humor.

He's thinking the Levant is completely separate from the Middle East.

5. Really??

Maybe he "feels' this way this because Israel is fairly westernized.
But it is completely in the ME.

6. Nah, not really

No one really uses the term "Levant" besides academics. I was being sarcastic.

10. 1.) He doesn't know from "Levant": 2.) I doubt this is a common mistake! Do people think Israel is

in EUROPE?!

Where ELSE would it be, but in the ME, bordered on 3 sides by, you know, Middle-Eastern countries?!

12. Read my last post

It was a tongue in cheek response. Hardly anyone knows what "Levant" means. In other words, I'm attributing academic status to the orange four year old.

Here is the wiki for Levant so everyone can now know what it refers to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levant

If we used it while he was in Israel, it would confuse the hell out of the right wingers

16. Levant?

I'd bet my paycheck numbnutz has never used that word in a sentence, doesn't know its meaning, AND would fail miserably if he tried to spell it.

The Middle East is all those radical Muslims dressing funny, don't you know.

18. Then he said, "It sure is nice to be in the West East again." LOL. He the added,

"In the West West, we have an East and then a Midwest, before the West, which is, I guess, the West West's West, also called the Wild West because we love guns and shooting Indians, but not as much as when my friend Andrew Jackson was President."
