38. Well, what I hear him saying...
is that Israel defies a whole lot of people because they have the support of a whole lot of people. One could infer that he means it's unjust because Israel is defying a majority of the countries/people in the world that want them to act a certain way. But then he's also saying that Israel is backed by "all these people." Not just "these people"...but, a certain, apparently large, quantity of people. Another majority of the people, perhaps? Not necessarily, but it does seem inferred since he's talking about power.
He does seem to be infering majorities both ways, but, of course, that would be a contradiction. Unless countries could both condemn Israel and support them at the same time (or at different times, which is part of the problem with his argument). And I suppose it HAS been done before.
