In a stunning display of how little Europe thinks of Israel, residents of the UK slammed Israel in an opinion poll:
British people rate Israel as the country least deserving of international respect, as well as one of the world's "least democratic countries," according to a recent survey. Research company 'YouGov' carried out a survey for the British Telegraph, asking Britons to rate almost two-dozen countries on the basis of 12 different criteria. The online survey was carried out on 2,058 adults across Great Britain between December 17 and 20. The respondents were required to rate the three best and three worst countries according to those criteria. Israel was ranked number one country where British people would least like to live or visit on holiday. Out of several other criteria measured, Russia alone scored lower overall than Israel. Israel gained the title of the world's least beautiful country and New Zealand the prettiest. In addition, Israel was rated the most unfriendly country after France and Germany.According to detailed figures, these folks listed Israel, which has carried out functioning elections since its modern inception, as the fourth least democratic nation among the 25 listed. Respondents also said Israel will be the fifth "least dynamic during the 21st century."
Come on. Say what you will about Israel, it's not boring. [Hat-tip: Drudge]
