Growing world support weakens Israel. A new GlobeScan poll shows it. Respondents in 22 countries were queried. Results showed 21% view Israel positively.
Three lean positive (America, Nigeria, and Kenya), two are divided, and 17 lean negative. EU and BRIC countries were overwhelmingly negative. Traditionally close to Israel, South Korea, also turned thumbs down.
Egyptians expressed markedly negative views. So did Pakistanis and Indonesians. Political bullying, belligerence, and occupation harshness explain why.
Continued Israeli repression turns world opinion against it. It's also true for America. Both countries may end up with only themselves as allies. Belligerent, repressive states are their own worst enemies.
