Can you name ten countries that support Israel? That'd be roughly 5% of the countries of the world, and I don't think that there are that many, now that I think about it. The only ones that do are the U.S., Costa Rica, the Czech Republic, and MAYBE the UK. Other than that, Israel's on its own.
Maybe the UK? Tony Blair has made very clear his support for Israel. In addition, Germany, Australia, France, Italy, Spain, New Zealand, Canada, just to name a few clearly back Israel. They may not like everything Israel is doing but the support her right to exist.
I am surprised at your paranoia.....the world hasn't turned on Israel. However, there is concern that Israel, and more specifically, Sharon, is out of control. His actions and his extreme aggressiveness are threatening the world's stability. And now, he has blown off Bush. As a consequence, I am sure world leaders are even more concerned..........because it looks like Bush [the US] can't control Sharon [Israel] at all. We are now in the same position as Arafat is with the Hamas.
Definitely, not good!
