Today we find that Israel is not winning the best liked country in the world reward, quite the contrary.  Israel faces a deeply problematic position characterized by severe international isolation, collapsing global public approval, and strategic friction with key allies like the United States over ongoing military actions in Gaza and leadership under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. 

But to the contrary, Israel has been helping many countries in all sorts of ways;  protection, techniques in water management, judo, defense arms, you name whatever, medical achievements, hospitalization even though everyone hates us;  the lifetime scapegoat of the world, still the scapegoat.  

What's it all about?  Our global standing is that : recent international surveys show that a clear majority of people globally view Israel unfavorably, with negative sentiment climbing significantly across traditional Western allied nations in Europe and North America.  Diplomatic Backlash: Continued military operations and plans for deeper occupation in Gaza have led multiple world leaders to condemn actions as violations of international law and prompt recognitions of a Palestinian state.                                    

       UN and their  complex prejudice and bias against Israel 

Human Rights Scrutiny: Intensified scrutiny regarding civilian casualties and humanitarian conditions has left Israel battling accusations of war crimes and facing legal proceedings at international bodies. Strategic and Political Strains of Bipartisan Fractures: Support for Israel has increasingly transformed into a divisive partisan wedge issue within Western politics, complicating long-standing bipartisan backing.  Friction with Allies: Disagreements between Prime Minister Netanyahu’s hardline government and foreign partners—including the U.S. administration—have strained discussions regarding post-conflict governance, humanitarian access, and Palestinian statehood. Regional Dynamics: Opinions on Reddit reflect mixed opinions, where critics emphasize long-term occupation and settlement expansion in the West Bank as severe impediments to peace, while supporters stress ongoing security threats and military necessity against regional militant networks. 
 They neglect to remember facts;  like when we fought against terrorists to win over our ancient lands of Judea and Samaria legally;  in 1967.  " Administration: Captured by Israel during the Six-Day War in 1967, the region includes numerous Israeli settlements governed under Israeli military administration, alongside municipal enclaves managed by the Palestinian Authority established following the Oslo Accords. 
It's been 59 years and we have waited patiently, giving our neighbors a chance to be true neighbors, but look what happened on October 7, 2023;  we found the truth that has stopped our hopes and dreams of having a Utopia.  There was no call for it;  the Palestinians were treated into the Jews' own homes, into their hearts as friends, and then were butchered and treated like cattle. .  



I can't remember a time when Israel an accepted  country since the few weeks after 1967's war when Israel was again fighting for its life when all her surrounding neighbors were trying to rid themselves of her and even those farther away helping with the chore and they WON!  They won the battle, defended themselves by themselves and were admired for it, for a few minutes until the propaganda started up again against her.

The term Judea has historically been used to refer to the region just south of Jerusalem. Samaria has historically been used to refer to the mountainous region just north of Jerusalem. The term Judea comes from the tradition that the Jewish tribe of Judah inhabited the portion of land to the south of Jerusalem, while the Samaritans were a sect that lived during Biblical times in the mountainous region north of Jerusalem. The terms Judea & Samaria can be found in the writings of travelers to the region during the Middle Ages. And in more recent times, the League of Nations and even the United Nations always used the terms Judea and Samaria to describe the region in official documents through 1949.
