61. #3 - add to that many more countries
William ,   Israel   (04.21.10)
like Iran, NK, China, Zimbabwe, Venezuela, Bolivia, Brazil, Algeria, Libya, every Arab country, India, etc. Apparently, they don't share the "Obama effect" either.
62. F**k the other 81% !
Talula ,   Israel   (04.21.10)
Who is going to throw the first stone? Not one country on the planet is pure enough and innocent enough. Sod the lot of them. We do what we have to do.
63. #8 - Or...it could be because they kill so many people
William ,   Israel   (04.21.10)
Just ask the people of Pakistan, Iran, and North Korea who do have the chance to speak their mind....before it's blown out across a wall.
64. #16 - your calculations are wrong
William ,   Israel   (04.21.10)
China still occupies Tibet and parts of India. India still occupies parts of China. Iran occupies UAE islands. The UK occupies the Falklands, Gibraltar, Jersey, and Northern Ireland. Pakistan is still occupying Kashmir which was handed to India by the King of Kashmir in return for protection back in the 1950s. and the list goes on....
65. #22 - That's from the US voters...
William ,   Israel   (04.21.10)
in Eurotrash Leftist polls, they don't count because Americans are viewed as "yahoo Christian cowboys". The BBC also won't acknowledge the polls showing 89% of Americans favoring Israel and 46% considering "Palestinians" as a terrorist population.
66. #35 - I'm feeling pretty good about it
William ,   Israel   (04.21.10)
Iran, Pakistan, and NK are traditionally anti-West, anti-US. Even with the relaxed posture of the US toward these countries and Obama bowing to them, figuratively and literally, nothing has changed. Israel always supported and loved the US and the West, just not Obama who believes he can sacrifice Israel to the Arabs to gain their favor. It's all politics, and unlike the Jewish nation, politicians are only passing through the world stage.
67. #45 - So why not the same in 1999?
William ,   Israel   (04.21.10)
Infact, in 2002, Israel was still highly regarded. So, it's NOT the Occupation "stupid" but how Israel is shown in the media, in short sound bites, which people consume and do little else to learn the entire picture. Given enough time, the people of Europe will even admit that there is no Jewish people and Jerusalem was never Jewish....per the Arab propaganda line. Says more about the ADHD mentality of people than it does about Israel.
68. Just to put in context type of people in survey
William ,   Israel   (04.21.10)
Recently, the creators of South Park have received death threats and had their personal information publicized on the Internet for their "portrayal" of Muhammed in the show. The show really mocked how only Islam was the religion that was off-limits and the violence it brings, not Muhammed himself. However, with the racist, hateful lemmings at the helm of the "religion of peace", this is the response to be expected....and the poll from the BBC is what we could expect knowing who they surveyed. It's less an issue about Israel and more about Islamic supremacy...which the world, especially the US, is waking up to.
69. CORRECTION:Israel ranks worse than N. Korea
Marlena ,   W. Hollywood, US   (04.21.10)
This article states that North Korea has 48% and Israel has 50% who see it unfavorably. That puts only Iran and Pakistan lower than Israel. Soon, I think even that will change.
70. #69 says more about the world than Israel, huh?
William ,   Israel   (04.21.10)
To consider Israel, a nation who has brought many technologies to the world and saved many lives, in a worse light than North Korea who routinely oppresses and executes their own population and threatens America....is really a sad commentary on humankind. Your being from N. Hollywood pretty much tells us about your connection (or lack thereof) to reality.
71. YEAH! GERMANY KICKS ISRAEL'S ASS!
Vlad ,   Nor'ilsk, Russia   (04.21.10)
ONCE AGAIN!!!
72. Low Showing
D. Klien ,   USA   (04.21.10)
Israel has a low showing due to the Gaza war, the harassment of Iran, the huge nuclear stock pile and their refusal to sign the NPT. Until they straighten out these problems they will be the pariah of the Middle East.
73. #71 - nice place, Norilsk...
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (04.21.10)
How does it feel, to live on the ass of the world...?
74. Why?
pops ,   toronto canada   (04.22.10)
Could it be that the only lesson the Jews learned fron the Showa is the wrong one? The nobility of suffering and loss is wasted on the neuerSA. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you, apparently, is not derived from Jewish tradition.
75. 19%? Seems WAY too high
Gilda ,   Ukraine   (04.24.10)
With everything Isarel does from occupation, organ theft, massive banking fraud, starting wars. Honestly I thought it would be much lower.
76. I'm one of the 81%
Stavridis ,   Greece   (04.24.10)
I like how you all dread Germany for the Nazi reign, or Japan for the Imperial reign, but it's incorrect to hate your CURRENT Zionist reign. Oh, and don't shove the anti-semitic card up people's faces. People have valid reasons for despising Israel.
77. BBC poll
Kj ,   Budapest   (04.26.10)
Israel 19%?? Who were they? I dont believe so many se Israel in a positive way. No way! Its a shitty land
78. gavin@manurewadoc.co.nz
Gman ,   NZ   (03.07.11)
What about New Zealand?
79. #9
Israel   (04.12.11)
I'll be happy if Israel still exists in sixty years time
80. To #13
Stan ,   Israel   (04.12.11)
and the answer is ....... after the Six Day War in 1967
81. To all those who reject this poll
Stan ,   Israel   (04.12.11)
The answer is really simple, its not anti-semitism SEE #45 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
82. Who cares?
Reto ,   Zurich, Switzerland   (04.12.11)
BBC poll... Come on, who cares about another "research" carried out by a notoriously biased corporation? Moreover, I would not want to be well-liked by backward anti-Western countries like Turkey, for instance. Concerning the European antisemites - well, consider this: we are literally conquered by Muslims and most of the European countries conduct kiss-the-Muslim-ass policies, - especially the British, Frenchmen, and Germans do so. We are kind of forced to "love" our Muslims, otherwise they revolt and cause unrest.
83. to Gilda from Ukraine
Reto ,   Zurich, Switzerland   (04.12.11)
I laughed my head off. "Organ theft", "banking fraud" etc. in Israel? I see that PA publishers came up with some brand new ideas. And you are probably talking about your land.
84. to Vlad from Norilsk
Reto ,   Zurich, Switzerland   (04.12.11)
I know that the level of pollution in Norilsk, including heavy metal pollution, is dreadfully high and it has been damaging you guys for years... It causes mental illnesses as well :( I feel pity for you, really. It is hard to live under acid rains, I guess. And of course the one to blame for it is an Enernal Jew. I am completely sure that all your problems are caused by Jews.
