Israel comes top of the list of countries where people would least like to live and would least like to take a holiday. It is also the country thought least deserving of international respect. Despite being the only fully democratic state in the Middle East, it is also thought to be among the world's "least democratic countries". Of the 12 criteria set out in YouGov's check-list, Israel comes out bottom in four cases and among the bottom five in a total of eight. Only Russia has a worse overall score. Britons clearly regard Israel and Russia in the same dim light that H L Mencken regarded Mississippi.I think we should retaliate by removing the word "English" from our vocabulary. From now on, speak Freedom, eat freedom muffins, and wear Freedom Leather Cologne.
That'll teach those tea swilling limeys.
