According to a BBC poll, Israel is the most disliked country in the world. Right under North Korea and Iran.
28,000, polled from 21 countries (Israel wasn't one of them) said that Israel's influence is mostly negative. I find this absolutely disgusting. Civilised democratic countries such as Canada, the US, and much of the EU thinks that a fellow democracy, in the Middle East, that guarentees human rights, dignity and freedom to all of its citizens is deemed worse than Iran, whose President is developing nucleur weapons and threatened to wipe Israel off the map, and call the Holocaust a fraud. It is deemed worse than N. Korea, whose human rights violations are innumerable. And what is the justification? That they used military action in Lebanon to defend against terrorists?!
It's amazing what the press can do: making the oppressors look not-as-bad, compared to the victims.
