The number of Britons that dislike Israel has more than doubled in 2 years .Thirty-five percent of British respondents to a recent survey said they feel “especially unfavorable” towards Israel. The only non-European country Britons appeared to dislike more — at 40 percent — was North Korea. Iran, was third at 33 percent. Russia at 56 % was the most disliked in Europe

The poll was part a joint YouGov-Chatham House project that surveyed more than 2,000 Britons on their attitudes regarding their country’s foreign policy. It took place last August, not long after Israel had conducteda devastating 50-day operation against Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip. Some 1,400 Palestinian civilians were killed in the conflict, including 418 children, according to The Washington Post’s count of the death toll.

In October, the British House of Commons voted to recognize Palestine as an independent state, a symbolic act that doesn’t affect the policies of Britain’s leadership. But it echoed wider European dissatisfaction with Israel and the right-wing government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whose actions, critics say, have undermined the viability of a two-state solution.

The chart below shows swings in British opinions of countries outside Europe. Views toward Iran appeared to have warmed considerably with the departure of the country’s incendiary President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the election of the more conciliatory President Hassan Rouhani.

The greatest amount of antipathy, it should be noted, appeared reserved for Russia.

Moscow angered many Europeans in the past year with its provocative power play in Ukraine. Despite its economic woes, the government of President Vladimir Putin appears to only be participating in an escalationof the conflict.

    Netanyahu needs to shape up or Israel could beat North Korea as the most disliked country by the Brits

    strange poll – on the “dislike” column we’re second only to north Korea.
    on the “like” column we’re behind the English previous colonies, Japan & Brasil.
    considering it was conducted right after the last successful campaign against Hamas and considering not all “Britons” are actually Britons (the ones in the pic sure are not) i think it’s safe to assume this poll does not reflect the true feelings of British people

      I think you will find that most of the world dislikes Israel doron. Remember doron this poll reflects your government, not the people. So don’t take it personal champ.

    Depends what you mean by british if you include muslims who have come to uk to escape the hell of living under religious rule, yes they will hate Jews because they have been brainwashed to hate, However if you mean true brits thats non muslim but secular or athiest then we admire and support Isreal.
