Bolivia's leftist president has declared Israel a "terrorist state" because of its offensive in the Gaza Strip, and his government will now require Israeli citizens to obtain a visa to visit the Andean nation.

President Evo Morales already broke off diplomatic relations with the Jewish state in 2009, calling Israel's treatment of Palestinians "a genocide."

oh no. i must now cancel my plans to visit Bolivia :(

Bolivia attacks the right to self defense. Perhaps they should face rockets, and see how they feel then.

It shouldn't shock anyone to hear that Israel is one of the most hated countries in the world.

A) Funny, the BBC article never uses the word "hate".

B) The poll is *not* about how much a country is liked or disliked per se (no matter what the headlines say). It's about how each country's influence is seen to either positively or negatively affect the world at large. Plus, it doesn't come close to including every country in the world.

"More than 26,000 people were surveyed internationally for the poll.

They were asked to rate 16 countries and the European Union on whether their influence in the world was "mainly positive" or "mainly negative
".

So, a reasonable job of misrepresenting said poll? I'd give you a 7 out of 10.

What the fuck is this fucking comment?

It's nice to know a fair minded pro human rights liberal like yourself is aligning with countries like Russia, China, Saudi Arabia etc who are some of the worst violators of this rule, and other itty bitty tinpot dictator ship countries. It's amazing how you don't notice that the entire EU abstained and the US voted against it, countries that have way more legitimacy to vote on such matters than the ones that voted Yes.

But of course that doesn't matter because third world shitholes with horrific human rights abuses are deserving of pity and are merely "misunderstood" in the liberal's mind. Have a country defend its civilians and it's an utter monster.

is the "fucking" comment fucking clearer now?

Well in all honesty, the USA is a much worse influence for bad in the world than Israel could ever hope to be. America hops from country to country slaughtering hundreds of thousands and leaving behind nothing carnage and anarchy. Israel is a piker.....

Yep.

I thought you meant get rid of all of the poor and unknown countries in the world from this poll. Do you want that also? And if we did get rid of all of the shit countries there would be only yes and abstain votes left on the poll.

You should talk to Moonie about all of your self-hate....unless you don't live in the US.

I don't hate myself. I love myself.... usually 4 or 5 times a week!

Seriously though, it is absolutely undeniable that what America had done in the last 15 years has been absolutely horrible for the world as a whole. Israel is bad regionally but we are awful globally. It's not my fault that I couldn't stop the neocons from ruining everything. I feel bad about what America has done but I certainly don't blame or hate myself for it.

Bolivia has most of the Lithium reserves in the world which is very important for high tech industries which are on the rise in the 21st century.

Odd, I would have sworn that Bolivia had been cancelled due to lack of interest.
