How the world sees the United States - Poll results

Very interesting research by the Pew center on how other countries see the United States.

1. America


EDITED FOR SPACE


Again unsurprisingly the Israeli love us (81% favorable) while the Palestinians hate us (only 26% favorable).

Globally, the idea that the whole world hates us is also debunked: we get an average of 69% of worldwide approval versus 24% of disapproval. Neat!

Thanks for taking the time to post this information. I tried to access the site but it was temporarily down/unavailable. I'll try later.

It would be even more helpful to know what the questions were & how the questions were phrased to be specific about "liking" US Foreign Policy or "liking" the American people, respecting the American people etc in general. Without that context, the findings cannot be but so accurate.

For example, it was my experience that in Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon etc where I was treated with generosity & kindness, the people I met, traveled with & stayed with loved most everything about the US & Americans in general whom they seemed to respect for our cars, music, movies, sports, medicine etc but, naturally, strongly disliked America's hypocritical pro Israel Mid East Policy & those behind it..

The question I was most frequently asked throughout the Islamic World was "Why do Americans suddenly hate us?". In a Refugee camp in S, Lebanon, wounded, burned & mutilated amputees repeatedly asked: "Why does America help them do this to us?"
When I told them about the toxic influence of America's blatant pro Israel Major Media & influence of Israeli lobbies over US Mid East policy, most people still didn't understand why the Americans they respected would tolerate something so unjust

Regarding Israel "liking" us, who wouldn't claim to like a country that keeps your country afloat, rewards every Atrocity, War Crime, act of aggression, Expansion & violations of International law?


While Israeli's may "like" Americans for for the generosity of our duplicitous Politicians, they quite accurately take most pro Israel Americans for gullible dupes:


“What Do Israelis Think About Americans? Start With Disdain.”

What Do Israelis Think About Americans? Start With Disdain. - Israel ? Forward.com
EXCERPT “ Israelis tend to agree on one thing:

Their strongest supporters are an inherently dupable people.

“Most Israelis think Americans are pro-Israel and we can sell them anything, especially mud from the Dead Sea,” said David Lif****z, the lead writer for the Israeli comedy show “Eretz Nehederet,” or “Wonderful Land.”
“Or — just regular mud with a ‘Dead Sea’ sticker on it.”CONTINUED

. . . . . . . . .

Apparently, Israeli leaders, too, have been consistent in their disdain for Americans:

“Our American friends offer us money, arms, and advice. We take the money, we take the arms, and we decline the advice.”

“Once we squeeze all we can out of the United States, it can dry up and blow away.”
~ Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, 2002.



Since the findings of this poll show that our largest Foreign Aid recipient "likes" us, at least we know why.

You left out numerous Israelis, including former intelligence chiefs. And it's not about trust and never has been. But then, you do have a racist demagogue as your avatar, so that explains everything.

I hope you're not claiming to have superior knowledge concerning the benefits of this nuclear deal than Israel's former intelligence chiefs.

Have you even been to Iran?

Aw, come on, Europeans that have never been in this country, how could they possibly see the truth?
