Israel’s Isolation and Changing Western Public Opinion
Abu Sharif further pointed to pressure on Israel and it’s Western backers. He said: “There is a clear feeling of isolation and hatred inside Israel itself. A profound shift has occurred within American society and across Western countries regarding Israel.”
