ISRAEL’S renewed assault on Gaza and the widespread Palestinian resistance it generated has had a profound effect on its standing.
According to last week’s Yougov polling, Israel’s net favourability in Britain is -42, down 27 points since February, in France it is -39 down 22 points, in Sweden -33 down 17 points and even in Germany — where an official pro-Israel public discourse is heavily policed by state, political parties and media — it is at -24 down 14 points.
