I believe he said something similar about gazans. Maybe that’s your answer.
I wonder if that mindset has to do with an American war of choice in Iran or the loss of American lives on his behalf.
There would be a divide by zero error in his calculation
Famously they traded 1000 Palestinians for 1 Israeli soldier.
I think Trump will like him more. /shrug
He’s saying that because the population of the USA is approximately 40 times larger than that of Israel, the loss of one Israeli life would diminish Israel to an extent proportional to how much the loss of 40 American lives would diminish the USA.
Yeah this is clearly the correct answer: it refers to percentage of total population. Technically its closer to 37:1, but that doesn’t have the same ring to it.
Netanyahu is obviously a racist cunt, but he’s not going to go out of his way to publicly offend americans dying for his political goals - he wants americans to continuing dying for his political goals.
Could be that he’s an asshole who thinks he and his “people” are somehow superior.
What? You think racial supremacy is only a white-guy thing?
Bibi is white. Polish.
Also an Ashkenazi Jewish.
which he’s not pushing for white supremacy, even if he likes certain white supremacists (but only so far as it gets him what he wants.)
It is white supremacy. Monied white supremacy. Look at the pictures of Zionists torturing, genociding their neighbors. Ask how they treated Ethiopian Jews, Bedouin. Information is out there. You just have to look beyond the hasbara.
You’re missing the point.
I don’t care what YOU think he is.
It doesn’t matter what I think he is, either.
It does’t really matter what he actually is, if we’re being honest.
The only thing that matters is what HE thinks he is.
Seriously. If you wanna go back far enough, we’re all African. It’s only our own stupid little divisions floating through our heads that separates “us” from “them”, and Netanyahu certainly doesn’t see white people as part of “us”.
Farther back. We’re somewhat naked apes.
Thank you for this post. It’s bang on.
I think it means I can give 1/40 of a shit. We could definitely care less about FuckenYahoo.
He means goy lives don’t matter
I know the number 40 turns up a lot in the bible. The Israelites wandered in the desert for 40 years, Jesus fasted in the desert for 40 days and nights, probably others I’m forgetting. I think it’s a cultural shorthand for “a lot”, similar to how in American English “a million” or “a zillion” might be used.
I listened to a lesson about numbers in the Bible from a priest. He said 40 was ‘enough’.
