International views of Israel and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are much more negative than positive, according to a Pew Research Center survey of 24 countries conducted this spring.

    There you go DNC. Those mythical Centrist you keep wanting to court don’t like Isreal. You now have a green light to actually oppose genocide.

      In some countries, younger people are more likely than older people to have an unfavorable view of Israel. This is particularly the case in the high-income countries surveyed: Australia, Canada, France, Poland and South Korea and the U.S. In fact, the U.S. has one of the largest age gaps in views of Israel.

        Young people don’t vote

        They do in countries with compulsory voting, like Australia.

    No one in power cares what average people think … even if it is an overwhelming majority of the population

    All these people in power care about is what rich wealthy people think and what corporate leaders and investors think

    It’s a world run on money … not on democratic consensus.

    Netanyahu and the IDF are pure evil. Our 🇨🇦 former PM Trudeau said he was a “Zionist” (while wearing a kippa) in one of his little theatrical speeches. Meanwhile, his Zionist buddies are killing babies and pregnant women. I could just puke. Oh, a comment similar to this got me banned from Reddit for “hate speech.” Apparently, Israel is above ALL criticism and murdering children is their God-given right. Imagine that.

    Netanyahu was always unpopular both in Israel and outside Israel.

    Opinions across the world started shifting after he renewed efforts to occupy most of Gaza. Hamas is a terrorist organization and everybody acknowledges that, but they’re defeated at this point. Israel has decisively won this war months ago. They get to have virtually any of their demands met with any ceasefire deal they agree to from getting back the rest of the hostages to having access to the Philadelphi corridor to expelling Hamas from Gaza.

    There was a deal a couple of months ago that they agreed to and everybody thought this war was finally coming to an end. Fighting stopped, hostages were being released, and everybody acknowledged that Israel won. People were excited that war was finally coming to an end and people were debating what a post Hamas Gaza should look like and how reconstruction should be handled. However, Netanyahu single-handedly scrapped this deal and restarted the war for no reason.

    Now, people are just tired of him and the war. Not just around the world, but also in Israel. A whooping 70% of Israelis have an unfavorable view of him and his government. Israel won’t be taken seriously again until he’s removed from power, and everybody wants him out. However, he knows that he’s going to get his ass thrown in jail the moment this war is over and so he’s never going to end it.

    The media shift is happening right now. It started about 3 weeks ago, and suddenly the media shifts from pro-israel to anti-israel. At least here in central europe this is what’s happening.

      I have had Israeli friends walk me through every intricacy of the system even almost 20 years ago, and when asking them, so wtf are you supposed to do to make it work for everyone? And they just get sad and don’t have a good answer. This isn’t new.

    He has ran the place for basically 20 of the last 30 years. I don’t think he cares what anyone else thinks.
