And look whose asking the questions, the BBC. I don't think there's anything more to add

Most people in the world still relieve themselves by digging a hole in the ground. Who cares what they think.

Why are you surprised? Israel has allowed the arab narrative to prevail. Israel always talks tough and then backs down-not a way to gain respect.

... and it is directly the fault of the BBC, AP, al-Reuters, CNN and the rest of the corrosive MSM. Directly. And history will judge them accordingly when the truth is no longer ignored. It will happen. You can fool all of the people some of the time, etc, etc. A large problem is a misinformed, propagandized ignorant public, disinterested in the events and lessons of history, paradoxically in this age of lots of "information", easy libels, precious little wisdom, and a general inability for the average person to focus on any concept for more than a few minutes, if that.

You see folks, the world trys their hardest to hold us to higher standards. But when they see our youth trying their hardest to emulate their low life-low mentality habits, they get disgusted, frustrated and annoyed and confused....because they see no hope for goodness and excellence. When we export youth who destroy hotels, stalk little girls on the internet and play havock on a foreign airliner, it gets nastier all the time. We try so much to outdo their nastiness and even at that we are better than they are. When they hear news from Israel about the rape and murder of our own people - own parents even, it does not get nastier than that. Sorry folks, but I am ashamed that certain elements in Israeli society have seen to all of this. Israel is now indeed no different than any other nation. The worst of all...BUT.. We can change that easily.

scum of the earth who hate the Jews are getting their publicity out, nothing more than that. The day will come when arab oil runs out, when the 3rd temple is built, when Jews fill every inch of the land Hashem gave them 3000 years ago and the BBC and the NYT will be on their knees wishing they hadn't lied.

forget about what they all think, just make sure they will all die if the Jews are again attacked. Then they will have to worry about what Israel thinks. Europe still hasnt paid the blood price for 2000 years of jew slaughter.

I can see it coming already! "Its the leftists and 'Islamists' in Europe." Followed by cries of "the UN is antisemtic" with more moans of "Europe has always hated the Jews." Everyone will be to blame with the exception of Israel's leaders who clearly have no intent on true peace, but rather occupation dreams of a larger Israel. Most posters on Ynet dream of a greater Israel- they are also to cause for Israel's negative image. They're just too stupid and delusional to realize it!

Most Israelis don't want to know the truth, particularly if its negative. But this has made my day! Thank you world!

..actually..outright liars.

Most Europeans hate the Iranian regime, but they have a lot of respect for the Iranian people. However, they hate the Israeli government and the Israeli people (Israeli Jews, not Arabs).

and it was absolutely preventable but. the right wing expansionist madness is the core of the problem.

BBC anti-Israeli bias it is not surprising that they would be polling their audience, which already has skewed opinion based on BBC reports. Still, do you really care about polls. Jews can hardly be surprised over negativism.

They work together with Israel's enemies.

the bbc and the rest of the media. When judgment day comes, the media will have a lot of answering 2 do!

The goim love the jews when he bows to them or better when he is dead.In this case they adore them. This hate against Israel may say that finally the jews are caring for their values and security !!

the nations love or hate only reflect a twisted image of how things seem to operate in this world. Israels well being is not predictated upon the nations love or hate....just get th ejews to israel, settle th eland and live a torah life. That's our reality and the well being of the world depends on it.

germany and japan. wow how times have changed or have they.? hate the jews and love the germans. um where have i heard that lite motif before?

It's just a matter of time before Islamic terror explodes on a large scale in Great Britain and other European countries. Only when that happens will the Europeans wake up and for the first time understand what Israel has been faced with for so many years.

Israels' " wanting to be loved " syndrome has clearly NOT paid off.

If Pakistan and Iran are considered as worst, the reason can not be "islamist influence" (to #1). Northern Korea is neither Islamic nor Jewish, therefore it can not be a matter of anti-islamist or anti-semitic bias. It is most reasonable that most people dislike the inhuman behaviour of states and Israel is unfortunately seen as one of such countries.

A Poll by Al Jezeera would have been better. Hatred of Jews and Israel had been there since the begining of man and we should worry and think that will ever change ! Get real !

This should be ignored........but the Israeli people should kick them out for obvious reasons.

There's a halachah that "esav soneh leyakov". So we have to do what we have to and not give a hoot what the anti-Semitic world thinks about us. Every time Israel gave away some of its territories to Arabs or freed terrorists, the world lost respect for us. If only the politicians would realize this and stop running the state like cowards.

The BBC squeezes out this same slanted excretion of propaganda each year, carefully selecting which countries and areas to poll. I personally would trust whatever the BBC has to say about the Jewish State as much as I would if Goebbels conducted the poll.

So explain if Israel is viewed so negatively then how come tourism at re ord breaking levels?

Everyone else slowly turns their face away from you but not us. Always bear that in mind.

Mark that, Israelis.

When one subtracts all the Muslim countries and europe, which is overrun by Muslims, it is not at all suprising that Israel is viewed with distain.

There are so many reasons why Israel is viewed so negatively. First, the Arab oil money is undoubtedly a factor. Colleges and universities are beholden to Saudi Arabia for huge donations and the leftist rot that passes for scholarship is allowed to continue to poison gulloible and easily influenced students. However, it is the Jewish left's uncontrollable hatred of Israel that also is a main contributor of this hatred towards Israel. Influential newspapers like the NY Times have made it a mission to demonize Israel as personified by the pompous and arrogant Tom Friedman. Beinart, the traitor to his people along with the leftist JStreet just don't care how their demonization of Israel contriutes to Israel's isolation. We all know that the extreme right is antisemitic. However, most conservatives embrace Israel and it is the mainstream left along with the extreme left that has waged war against Israel. I don't believe that there is a nation that would tolerate this Jewish fifth column in the name of freedom of speech. Israel is facing an existential threat from Iran, Egypt is on the verge of cancelling it's peace treaty with Israel, and the Jewish left just piles it on.
