Possibly the Israel overall position in their handling of the Palestinians has not endeared a favourable assessment of the Israel character - may be just a small minority who have iron fisted control of the nation where the majority want peace and a humane approach, but the image portrayed is of a nation that treats the Palestinians in a similar way the Israelis have been treated in previous times in other countries. (I see the Israelis have taken a leaf out of the book of the British in Indian mowing down a large number of unarmed people in India during the historical occupation. Not very clever.)
