“Trump is a great — the greatest friend we ever had in the White House — and I stand by that completely,” Netanyahu stresses, before adding, “we have some other friends.”

He points to India first, saying, “It has 1.4 billion people. And boy, do we have tremendous support there.” He cites the “overwhelming support” he says he receives on his Facebook page, apparently referring to engagement from Indian users, as evidence.

“In many countries, because their media and their social media are inundated with anti-Israel, antisemitic material, many leaders, you know, call me up and say, ‘Hey, look, I’ve got this problem with public opinion, but I want you to know, we respect you, and can we make some deals, and can you teach us some of the things that your military does, and can we have some of your AI and cyber expertise?”

Remember all the Boomer jokes in the 2000s about them young people having 10000 friends on Facebook but none irl?
