A new, comprehensive poll of British opinion on foreign nations was just released by The Telegraph. The results: Israel is considered by Britons the #1 'least deserving of international respect,' the 'least beautiful country,' the country Britons would 'least like to take a holiday in,' and would 'least like to live in.' How did this British animosity toward Israel come about, with Israel ranked worse than Egypt, India, China and 20 other countries?

Those right wing extremists who continue to perpetuate the myths, largely discredited now in the wider world, spouted by the venomous tongues of those in the rogue regime in Washington are the real anti Americans.

Peggy Gish, 62, is an American woman who has spent 13 months over the past two years logging the cases of Iraqi detainees with the ecumenical humanitarian group Christian Peacemaker Teams. She told the BBC News website about her experiences.
