The Nation Brand Index surveys a regular list of 35 nations, with Israel added to the list for the first time for this survey and analysis.
Israel came in at the bottom of the ranking in almost every question.

For example, respondents around the world were asked:
“How strongly do you agree with the statement that this country behaves responsibly in the areas of international peace and security?”
Israel scored the lowest of all 36 countries surveyed. Even Americans placed Israel 35th out of 36, with China last.

The UK panel’s rankings were typical of the majority of countries: it gave Israel the bottom score on every dimension of the index apart from exports where Israel came 27th.

Now is the time for assertive boycott campaigns on behalf of Palestine.
