This should be an old topic, but it would be inaccurate to say that Israel is unpopular, at least not all of them, and not always.
First of all, from the point of view of the object, Israel's lack of popularity seems to be the mainstream in recent decades, as can be seen from the results of the United Nations vote on the Palestinian-Israeli issue. Most countries oppose Israel's occupation of Palestine and its inhumane treatment of Palestinians. But there are also those who support Israel, and among the supporters are many heavyweight countries with international discourse, the most typical being the United States.
From the perspective of time, there were many countries that supported the founding of Israel and its early years, especially the two major powers at that time, the United States and the Soviet Union. This was understandable at the time, given that many countries in Eurasia had just experienced World War II and were deeply traumatized by war, and out of sympathy for the Jews, supporting the establishment of an Israeli state was a political correctness with closed eyes and no choice.
As for the attitude of the Arabs in the Middle East, their grievances and objections did not matter at all, because their position in the international arena at that time was not about the same. Moreover, at that time, the demands of Egypt, Jordan, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and other countries were not uniform, and they were basically based on the mentality that the Palestinian region could tear off a piece of it. So initially, Israel's international image was very positive.
From the above two perspectives, the current so-called unpopularity of Israel is determined by the many behaviors and the international environment after the establishment of the state.
When it comes to behavior, Israel's inability to clear its name is mainly its encroachment on Palestinian areas, and although national borders are often decided by the powerful party, it is necessary to cut through the mess quickly and wash as much as possible with its hands and feetEither there must be a good reason for the majority of countries to endorse it.
For example, when Germany occupied the Sudetenland and annexed Austria, the main thing was to quickly occupy these areas and there was no major chaos. There are factors of the same clan and the same clan in this, but the main reason is that Germany is relatively well prepared in domestic and foreign affairs. If it weren't for Germany's inflated desire for conquest and the strategic plot of Britain and France to divert the troubles to the east, Germany would have stopped waiting for the future, and the world would have been a different pattern, but this is a story for another time.
Israel obviously does not have the strength of Germany in terms of geography and overall strength, and although it seems that its surrounding opponents are weaker, they are too different in terms of race and religious beliefs, and the size of the population is not something that Israel can swallow.
No matter how many sects the Arabs have, it is also their own internal contradictions, and it is a fact that it is difficult to tie them together, but their attitude towards Israel is basically unified.
Culturally, with the exclusive characteristics shared by Judaism and Islam, Israelis and Arabs are not inclusive, and no one wants to assimilate anyone.
The resource advantage of the Arabs in the Middle East has given them a considerable right to speak in the world economy, although the military level cannot be compared with Israel, but the rich do not lack friends at any time, as long as Israel does not have the courage and means to swallow mountains and rivers like a tiger, relying on the encroachment of Palestine (more precisely, Arab territories) This kind of petty fighting and sneaky way, Israel's image will not be good, and the longer it drags on, the worse its reputation will be.
The point is that Israel seems to be completely unaware of this.
Yesterday, Israeli Defense Minister Gallant also publicly stated: "Israeli forces have been attacked from the Gaza Strip, Lebanon, Syria, the West Bank, Iraq, Yemen and Iran." At present, the Israeli army has responded and taken action in six of these battlefields. ”
What Gallant could realize: It was going to be a long, hard war that would be costly.
Counting Israel's opponents, in fact, only Palestinian Hamas, Lebanese Allah, Syria, other Yemeni Houthis, Iraqi Shia, Iran, and Israel are not next to each other, that is to say, his real opponents are only Hamas, Lebanese Allah and Syria, where civil strife has not ended, these three forces are not comparable to Israel in military strength, and the military assistance they can receive is also very limited, it can be said that Israel is completely bullying.
For bystanders who have nothing to do with their conflict, everyone's sympathy tends to favor the weaker side. Moreover, as mentioned earlier, the United States, as a consistent supporter of Israel, has also greatly affected the evaluation of Israel by countries around the world. I don't dare to make irresponsible remarks about you, and I don't dare to scold your dog.
There is another key factor that makes Israel very unpopular, that is, Israel's harm to civilians in the war, no matter how much you describe Hamas as a demon hiding among civilians, using civilians as a shield, you can't hide the fact that civilians are killed and injured by Israel, Israel will only paint itself more and more black if it does not change its strategy.
Finally, judging from the current international economic environment, Israel's unpopularity is also related to its ethnic identity. The global economic downturn is already an indisputable fact. But for the general public, this is an abstract concept, and the widening gap between the rich and the poor is closer to their own personal feelings, where has the wealth gone?The Jewish plutocracy, which has devoured vast amounts of wealth, is easily associated with Israel by the public, a social reason why Israel is not welcomed.
