montelatici, et al,
Don't get all excited my pro-Palestinian friend. GlobeScan/PIPA did the poll, titled "Views of China and India Slide While UKs Ratings Climb: Global Poll;"conducted between December 2012 and April 2013 and relayed in the general findings.
GlobalScan/PIPA are usually pretty good. But you have to remember that of the entire Arab League, no other Middle East country even made the poll. (WHY?)
Public Narrowly Backs UN Recognition of Palestine: Global Poll
If you look at the polls, you will see that while on this discussion board, the Israel-Palestinian Issue is quite important, from a global stand point, it was barely making a scratch.
There is something important about POLLS. They can show any aspect you want. In this case, the respondence made comment on the aspects that were most important to them at the time. While they were very harsh with Israel on its belligerent nature, they made virtually no supporting comment pertaining to dismounting the occupation in favor of the Palestinian.
It is not as hopeless as people think. It is fairly clear that Israel could, through a benevolent action, and positive attitude, make a major change in the perceptions held by the Palestinian People. But Israel has to directly address the needs of the people and not those of Fatah or HAMAS.
Most Respectfully,
R

Public Narrowly Backs UN Recognition of Palestine: Global Poll
The poll of 20,446 citizens conducted by GlobeScan shows that, while the public is five to two in favour, with three undecided, in only nine countries is there an outright majority of citizens in support of recognizing Palestine as a state.
Across the countries surveyed 49 per cent back the resolution, while 21 per cent say their government should oppose it, and a large proportion (30%) either say that it depends, that their government should abstain, or that they do not know what their government should do.
Support for recognition is strongest in Egypt, where 90 per cent are in favour and only nine per cent opposed. But there is also majority support in the other three predominantly Muslim countries polled Turkey (60% support, 19% oppose), Pakistan (52% support, 12% oppose) and Indonesia (51% support,16% oppose). Chinese people are the second most likely overall to favour their government voting for recognition of a Palestinian state, with 56 per cent in support, and just nine per cent opposed.

(COMMENT)
If you look at the polls, you will see that while on this discussion board, the Israel-Palestinian Issue is quite important, from a global stand point, it was barely making a scratch.
While problems such as the ongoing crisis in the Eurozone, climate change, and unrest in the Middle East preoccupy governments around the world as 2012 begins, GlobeScan's regular monitoring of global concern over a range of issues highlights that it is more immediate and everyday problems that are often at the forefront of citizens' minds.
In GlobeScan's annual tracking research, corruption once again emerges as one of the global problems considered to be most serious. It is also the problem that citizens are most likely to cite when asked which global problems they have discussed with their friends and family over the past month.
As this map shows, corruption tops the list of most talked about problems in a range of developing and emerging economies, including Peru in South America, Ghana and Egypt in Africa, Turkey in Europe, and India and Indonesia in Asia. Corruption is also often cited as a barrier to getting to grips with many of the other global problems that, as GlobeScan's tracking shows, preoccupy many global citizens.
Taking a strong and public stand against corruption will be an important element in what businesses need to do to demonstrate their relevance to citizens' lives, help build public trust, and maintain their social licence to operate.

More importantly, it seems that these changes have affected attitudes regarding whose way is the best to end occupation and build a Palestinian state.
