Israel's popularity dives

Britons like Israel better only than North Korea, Haaretz poll finds

According to a report in Haaretz, 1 February,  35 percent of Britons name Israel as their least
 favourite non-European country, a worse score than Iran's. British
citizens think worse of Israel than they do about any other non-European
country except for North Korea, a British survey published this week found.

Answering the question "Which of the following do you feel especially
unfavourable toward?" 35 percent named Israel – scoring two points worse
than Iran, the poll found. With 47 percent, North Korea won the worst
score, the Chathan House-YouGov poll found. Israel's score, a rise of 18
points since the last poll was published in 2012, may have been due to last
summer's attack on Gaza and the civilian death toll it exacted
from the Palestinians, the report suggested.
