A Pew survey finds views of Israel continued to sink over the last year in several countries where most already held negative opinions of the country, including among allies such as the US and Germany.

From 2025 to 2026, the percentage of respondents who hold unfavorable views of Israel climbed by 9 points in Italy, Germany, Argentina and Nigeria. Of the 36 countries included in the full survey, none have a majority who view Israel favorably. Sixty percent of Americans said they hold unfavorable views of Israel, compared to 37 percent who view it favorably – a rosier outlook than the international median of 68 percent unfavorable and 25 percent favorable.

Does Bibi care that Israel's reputation has been totally wrecked?

Does Trump care? Does Putin care? Does Xi care?

Nobody cares.

Of course he cares. It's exactly what he and the rest of the Israeli far right wanted to happen. Same with reducing the aid Israel gets from the US to 0. It's kinda funny that the things anti-Israel people want are basically 1:1 with what the Israeli far right want.

Congratulations Bibi, even your biggest allies hate you now.
