Commentary for Berakhot 105:9

הא גופא קשיא אמרת אם רוב נכרים אינו מברך הא מחצה על מחצה מברך והדר תני אם רוב ישראל מברך הא מחצה על מחצה אינו מברך

This is self-contradictory ! Thou sayest, "If the majority are gentiles, he should not say the benediction," hence if they are half [gentiles] and half [Israelites] he may say it. Then it continues, "If the majority are Israelites, he may say it," hence if they are half and half, he may not say it !
