To be completely clear, you think that absent persecution, a noticeable number of people entitled by law to live in Israel would continue to live in Lebanon?

I have not said that, nor does that seem to me in any way relevant to the conversation. The standard set by the article was:

a world of Israelis and Arabs and Muslims and Jews living side by side with equal rights, fully integrated and defused of their hate

In the first place, "living side by side" connotes a measure of peace, which you acknowledge Lebanon lacks. In the second, the Jews living there clearly do not regard themselves as enjoying equal rights. "But some Christians do!" is not a refutation of any kind.

I do not know what you think to prove. You seem at best trying to pick a nit grounded in my paraphrasing, and yet even then you are doing it badly.
