Shimon Peres looks on the bright side:
How do you explain the rise in the delegitimization of Israel in the world in recent years? Do you agree that this is happening?
Let me give you a contrary picture: Israel is the most popular country in the world... For 2,000 years there was friction between the Vatican and the Jews. There are, what is it, 1.3 billion Christians? Now we have excellent relations with the Vatican. This is no small thing. And we have good relations with India, also hit by Muslim terrorists. And that’s together 3 billion. And [we now have] excellent relations with China.
That's another 1.3 billion people, FYI - 4.5 billion in total.
I suggest you don't think about the holes in the argument too much and just enjoy, for a moment, the feeling of Israel being popular. It's been too long.....

Rate this:
If Israel was as unpopular as the press and lefties would have us believe its economy and tourism would be in dire straits. The reality is that the opposite is true.
People who love Israel don't feel the need to shout about it or berate people about!
