Deep dives

Shift in Perception of Israel

Over the past few decades, Israel has transitioned from being perceived as the underdog to being seen as a powerful force. This shift in perception has negatively impacted Israel's image in the West, particularly among younger generations. There is now a generational divide, with younger people being more critical of Israel and showing support for Hamas. This change in perception can be attributed to various factors, including criticisms of Israel's handling of conflicts, alleged corruption within the government, and depictions of Israel as oppressive and unethical. While the current support for Israel in the West is waning, there is hope for normalization of relations with countries in the Gulf, which could provide a different kind of support for Israel.
