I've actually met the guy and did some contract work for him. After hearing the story from his mouth, what stuck with me is his utter dislike for the Nissan CEO and Arabs. He seemed very passionate about Israel and cited Nissan's Arab CEO as a huge part of why he dislikes that company.

- cju 13y agoIt's quite strange to see Carlos Ghosn described as an Arab. As far as I know, he has never spoke publicly about Israël. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlos_Ghosn https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlos_Ghosn
- beedogs 13y agoTo people who are that fanatical about Israel, I don't think it matters that he hasn't said anything. It's guilt by association.
- ceejayoz 13y agoWhy would one's status as an Arab depend on public statements about Israel?
- cju 13y agoIf I understand badclient correctly, the (alleged) attitude of M. Nissan towards Arabs and Israël comes from his problems with M. Ghosn. I'm just saying that if it's the case, it make no sens.
- cdcarter 13y agoOther way around. His attitude towards Ghosn/Nissan Motors comes from his problems with Arabs and his feelings on Israel.

- tanzam75 13y agoHezbollah is in conflict with Israel. Carlos Ghosn's background is Maronite Christian.
- YokoZar 13y agoRacism has always been a bit strange to me, but the idea of turning down a literal million dollars because of it is just unfathomably alien.
