I don't know how scientific the conducted survey is but the results speaks volumes if accurate.



UK SURVEY SHOWS ~~ ISRAEL ONE OF THE MOST UNFAVOURABLE COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD TODAY

February 3, 2015 at 12:11 (Britain, Israel)

Israel ranks as one of the world’s most unfavorably viewed countries among the UK public, second only to North Korea.

The results from the Chatham House survey confirm trends seen in other polls across the world, showing that Israel is consistently among the world’s most negatively viewed countries.

Negative views of Israel soar in the UK, new survey shows

Israel ranks as one of the world’s most unfavorably viewed countries among the UK public, second only to North Korea.

A new survey by the UK think-tank Chatham House finds that 35 percent of the UK public have an “especially unfavorable” view of Israel.

This is double the 17 percent who held such a view during the previous survey in June 2012.

Only North Korea was viewed more unfavorably, at 47 percent. Thirty-three percent had an “especially unfavorable” view of Iran, and 28 percent held such a view of Pakistan, the next most unfavorably viewed countries.

By contrast, just six percent of the public had an “especially favorable” view of Israel – barely changed from five percent in 2012, putting Israel behind Japan, India, Brazil and South Africa.

Forty-four percent of survey respondents expressed an “especially favorable” view of Australia, with a similar number holding such a view of Canada.

What these numbers indicate is that the vast sums Israel has spent on propaganda or hasbara have made no dent in its unpopularity, while its continued occupation and repeated massacres in Gaza continue to affect public perceptions.

The fieldwork for the survey of a representative sample of more than two thousand people was conducted between 6-12 August 2014, at the height of the Israeli attack on Gaza that left more than 2,200 Palestinians dead.

The UK saw some of the largest rallies in Europe in support of Palestinians during the attack on Gaza.

The results from the Chatham House survey confirm trends seen in other polls across the world, showing that Israel is consistently among the world’s most negatively viewed countries.

did i read 'israel massacre of Gaza'. Israel was just protecting its country and people from Hamas and Palestinian terrorists. you cant expect Israel to fold its arms and allow Hamas launch rockets and missles into Israel. it's bullshit!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disinvestment_from_Israel

United Kingdom

The Church of England synod has voted for disinvestment from Israel, which was criticised by George Carey, the former Archbishop of Canterbury as "inappropriate, offensive and highly damaging".[20]

Britain's National Union of Journalists called for boycott 14 April 2007. By a 66-54 vote, the annual delegate's meeting of Britain's largest trade union for journalists called for "a boycott of Israeli goods similar to those boycotts in the struggles against apartheid South Africa led by trade unions, and [for] the [Trades Union Congress] to demand sanctions be imposed on Israel by the British government."
