This is one of the most interesting polls I’ve read recently. A majority of people polled for the BBC World Service across 27 countries believe Israel and Iran have a mainly negative influence in the world with almost as many saying the same about North Korea and the United States.

Canada, Japan, the European Union, and France were judged most positively. Britain, China, and India received more positive than negative evaluations while Russia was viewed slightly more negatively than positively. Opinions about Venezuela were evenly divided.

Looking at the results give a good insight of what the world think of the Zionist camp and Uncle Sam.

Israel:

Israel is viewed quite negatively in the world. On average, 56 percent have a mainly negative view of the country, and just 17 percent have a positive view. In 23 countries the most common view is negative, with only two leaning towards a positive view and two divided.

Unsurprisingly, the most negative views of Israel are found in the predominantly Muslim countries in the Middle East, with very large majorities in Lebanon (85%), Egypt (78%), Turkey (76%), and the UAE (73%) having negative views.

Large majorities also have negative views in Europe, including Germany (77%), Greece (68%) and France (66%). Indonesia (71%), Australia (68%) and South Korea (62%) are the most negative countries in the Asia/Pacific region. Brazilians (72%) are the most negative in Latin America. The best surprise for me comes from Canada (56%) and UK (65%) value Israel negatively.

The two countries that tend to view Israel positively do so in modest numbers. Forty-five percent of Nigerians and forty-one percent of Americans have positive views of Israel’s influence in the world, while nearly one-third in each country has negative views. The Kenyan and Indian populations have divided views of Israel.

Now, what does this tell us? In my view, it seems that in this world, only Americans are blind (or blinded) by the lies about Israel. How come everyone, everywhere knows and values Israel negatively but not United States (putting Nigerians aside because they are actually do not add any value to Middle East conflict).

United States:

The second bad news goes about United States. Or should I say ‘good news’? I really hoped that United States were never placed in such a position because I know that majority of Americans are misled by Zionist lies and media, but American citizens are much better than what the general perception is, only if they get the chance to get educated well about truth.

Anyway, worldviews of the United States continue to worsen, with most countries having a largely negative view of the US. Across all 27 countries polled (excluding the US self-evaluation), half (51%) now say the US is playing a mainly negative role in the world. However, among the countries that on average are viewed negatively, the US has the largest percentage – 30 percent – saying it has a positive influence.

Among the 26 countries polled this time (excluding the US), in 20 the most common view of the United States’ influence is negative, while in just four it is mainly positive and two are evenly divided. Negative views are particularly widespread in Europe (especially Greece 78%, Germany 74%, and France 69%) and predominantly Muslim countries (Indonesia 71%, Turkey 69%, Egypt 59%, and Lebanon 58%). The only countries with positive majorities are found in Africa (Nigeria 72%, and Kenya 70%), and the Philippines (72%). Again like Israel, one should keep a note that majority in Canada (56%) and UK (57%) have negative views of the US.

Additionally, the number of American respondents who believe the United States is having a positive influence in the world has also decreased six points, from 63 percent to 57 percent, and has dropped a total of fourteen points (from 71%) from 2005. Across the 19 countries that have been polled for the last three years, the average percentage saying that the United States is having a mainly positive influence in the world has dropped six points from a year ago after having dropped four points from the previous year.
