I wonder why....could it be 66 years of brutal persecution, oppression and murder of their co-religionists in Palestine? Stop killing Palestinian women and children and they might like you more.

What I can't understand is how it can be considered that having a negative perception should disqualify the perceptor from giving it.

How does such a ludicrous position come about?

Too long in the echo chamber I imagine.

"Normal" people don't believe their negative opinion of certain subject is the only "normal" things, because "normal" people consider that others may hold the opposite opinion and still be "normal".

"Normal" people know that in order to understand the Israeli Palestinian conflict you have to be NOT ignorant

All one needs to know in this thread is what normal people think about Israel, the BBC polls convincingly demonstrate what that is.

For some reason the opinion of normal people can't be accepted for what it is by those who appear to be Israel apologists.

That they don't want to recognise reality seems of a piece with their willingness to ignore the voices of Muslim nation residents.

I believe that's called the ostrich manoeuvre.

Here it the chart, showing progression over time.

Three things of note.
The countries which like Israel most are those most easily bought (Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, US/Canada).
China - with no significant history of association to either Jews or Israel, and a need to see the world objectively - has a low opinion of Israel.
They have stopped asking Egypt. Which as your previous employer clearly "would not give you a reference".

This 360° review is not going so well for Israel...

A fixed poll is not valid and as the original questions asked show this was one fixed poll

Oh Phoney, to you any poll that doesn't agree with your views is "fixed", the same with historians, politicians, the general public....I bet you even had your dog "fixed"

Only when it is shown and proven they are fixed, and in the case of the BBC poll it is so obvious that I cant understand why you are defending it and using it as a source. IT ASKS ONLY 4 HEAVILY LOADED QUESTIONS WITH THE ANSWERS ALREADY GIVEN

Who the hell cares what others think of Israel?? You'll get the same answers if you ask those same countries about the USA!!! Stuff 'em!!

Exactly and this is what team Palestine cant understand, the people were led to the "right" answer by the way the questions were worded.

So if I asked you which country is seen as the most violent and gave you only two possible answers Palestine or Monaco which one do you think would be the winner ?

That is not the type of question asked in the BBC poll. What poll are you looking at?

[cnm]

This is the only question I see asked:

Please tell me if you think each of the following countries is having a mainly positive or
mainly negative influence in the world.

How is that a fixed question? Neither does it ask respondents to choose between alternative countries.

Yet the USA did not get the same answers from those same countries. I mean, it's there in black and white.

Slept since then so I don't remember, but you are using the same document. And you are having difficulties in understanding what it says.

Ok, I've got the message, thanks.

Thank you for admitting that Palestine is a country. Finally!
