Dramatic surge in anti-Israeli sentiment in Britain

Britons say they loath Isreal more than any other country in the world, except North Korea, Qods News Agency reports.

The revelation came in a recent survey that showed Britons feel more “unfavorable” to Israel than any other country worldwide except North Korea.

The survey - taken in August and published Thursday by Chatham House, the Royal Institute of International Affairs - showed a massive surge in negative attitudes toward Israel since the previous such study, two years earlier.

Thirty-five percent of Britons said they “feel especially unfavorable towards” Israel in the 2014 survey, compared to 17% in 2012.

Only North Korea fares worse — regarded as especially unfavorable by 47% in 2014, compared to 40% in 2012.

The compilers noted that the survey was conducted in August 2014 at a time when Israel was engaged with a genocidal war on Gaza that left over 2,300 Palestinians dead, mostly women and children.
