31. The world does not hate Israel! The Arabs/Muslims do.
The Truth ,   USA   (07.01.10)
Unfortunately the radical Arabs/Muslims are the loudest and they get all the media attention. I travel around the world and there is a lot of support for Israel. Don't believe the Muslim anti-Israel hype. It's all propaganda and lies.
32. sadly in latinamerica is not like that
Miss fuzzy ,   Guatemala   (07.02.10)
33. hate stats by nations...heres the proof!
ari.c ,   tel aviv, israel   (07.02.10)
no need to debate it... just GOOGLE IT! write IN QUOTES - " hate (any nation)" check the results. if you had checked before 3 years ago, israels results were about 2 or 3 times higher then now... jewish orgs have been sweeping for many "hate" sights. STILL israel is BY FAAAAAR higher then the number 2 spot, think about that from many angles, and youll get the picture. NOOOW, write "hate jews" (use quotes again) compare that to hate blacks, or christains, or muslims,... and tell me then, that israel hate is not antisemitism! enjoy! ;))
34. the average person doesn't hate us but the people

with the political power do.
35. Optomisitc Article...perhaps too much?
Ente Magnoon ,   Brooklyn, NY   (07.02.10)
I enjoyed your article...but I think you're viewing the world through "rose colored glasses". If you looked around, you'd find just as many Anti Semitic and Anti Zionist individuals. You were quite lucky.... Ironically, the most prominent leaders of the Anti Apartheid movement are pro Palestinian and vehemently Anti Israel...they refer to us as an Apartheid State. Yet, the previous Apartheid government, was ironically, pro Israel and traded with us...
36. We don't hate you but We don't like you
Christian ,   Christian World   (07.02.10)
37. the love for israel
izumu ,   london england   (07.02.10)
the love for ISRAEL as a nation and the jewish is forever.ISREAL must never depend on world opinion but be really proud of who they are.The world political system,even in the un,do not know that there are more supporters for ISRAEL now.Even some individual ISRAELIS do not know how much love others may have for the state.But its true there are thousands of thousand looking over the safety of ISRAEL.The messiah and the heavenly angels,dont forget the thousands of true christians around the world who will support ISRAEL at any given time.In the Usa,England,Germany and the tiny island of Grenada there are many supporters of jewish state,even though their respective government does not.That what make ISREAL one of the greatest small state in the world today.GOD BLESS ISRAEL AND THE JEWISH PEOPLE FOREVER.
38. A majority of Kiwis believe what they read in NZ Herald
Dan the Jafa ,   Auckland, Aotearoa   (07.03.10)
...which blames Israel for every trouble in the world.

I am so glad you are alive and kicking, I missed your posts! Where have you been hiding? Writing a book on the talkbacks, lol? Yes the World in general does hate us but who bloody cares? We are what we are and the heck with their hateful feelings. One thing for sure, it's not good for the soul to hate and once they realize that (the haters), their overall health might improve. Until then I choose to let them rot and keep my family safe instead...well I do include Israel, the mighty IDF, Gilat Shalit, the Jews of Europe, mostly France in my daily prayers but that's about it. The bad people I choose to discard. Shabbat Shalom!
40. Israel's aim should be respect. Not love.
Chaim ,   Israel   (07.03.10)
Before the Disastrous Oslo era, when Israel adopted the sick policy of appeasement, Israel was widely respected by friends and foes alike as a gutsy little nation. Former P.M. Golda Meir (from Labor, believe it or not) warned our enemies that, "Whoever attacks Israel should not be surprised when Israel strikes back seven times as hard". This was Israel's policy and the world expected it. Self respect begins with our selves. Israel must abandon the sick policy of appeasement and cultivate self respect. Israel's aim should be respect. Not love.
41. Count your friends on one hand...
iObserver and News ,   USA   (07.04.10)
In general, people are shallow, selfish, frightened and view everyone as a potential threat. We also have almost NO loyalty. THAT is a primary reason why people care so much about what others think about them (aside from being a social species which requires some kind of acceptance). In the end, if U can count UR friends on one hand, you're very, very lucky. With Jews, however, there is a bond that goes above and beyond reason and needs to be cherished more.
