Why does the world hate Israel?

Interesting question. I think the answer is multi-faceted. From an international politics point of view, devoid of any ethical considerations, arab countries have oil and Israel does not. Oil is important for western countries, so some concessions in their international policy are made to appease the oil providers. Kinda like heroin. On top of that, many people always like the underdog and see the stronger party as oppressers. We as humans apparently see a nobility in struggle against a stronger foe. The movie 300 was successful for just that reason; 300 vs a mighty horde, of course we're rooting for the little guys. Further, I think Europe in general has never gotten over its anti-semitism. Even England- probably the least European country- has politicians who randomly decide to libel the Jews, and the courts don't really care. I think many people have transfered their hate for Jews to hate for Israel, which is socially accepted (I am not saying all critics of Israel are anti-semites, but some of them definitely are). I think Europeans also attempt to alleviate their collective guilt for the holocaust (I hope they feel guilt) by portraying the Jews as Nazis. Then they can say "sure we did that, but look they're doing it too when they get the chance". That's Europe. The arab world of course feels nothing but dislike for Israel, but I think from more than just blind hate. All the countries side with the Palestinians (though it is interesting to note that none of them do anything to help them, just side with them) of course, for ideological reasons. Palestinians= arab/muslims, Israel=Jews. I think also many of these countries feels resentful at what Israel has accomplished; despite not having oil, being tiny and constantly fighting to defend itself, Israel has managed to build a thriving vibrant economy, institute (real) democracy and human rights and in general give a good life to its citizens. The life rate is above 80 years, literacy approaching 99% - it's a good place to live. While at the same time, those arab countries who are wealthy off of oil sales and have been around much longer and haven't had to fight a battle in who knows how many years can claim none of those things. Plus there's the collective anger at their impotence with regards wiping Israel off the map.

I think it is because of the way they treat the Palestinian Arabs.

It's simply a case of "This town ain't big enough for the two of us...".

Well most of the world's population can be divided intro three camps:
-Muslim countries- obviously are going to side with the Palestinians in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict
-Europeans- history of anti-Semitism
-non-Muslim developing countries- many have alliances with Israels' enemies and naturally see themselves as friends of the Palestinians

The despots of the world, and the antisemites of the world hate anything that Jews do, and hate seeing Jews have anything.... Only the folks that are not evil tend to give Jews a chance...

CZ they take another people land and kill her original people ,they kill child,put men in Jill,and use woman's...they destroyed their home and cut their trees,they change every thing...before they come people their were happy and live in peace...

I wonder myself but maybe you are reading a little too much into it. I think it is ignorance and hate mongering due to the few Jews that exist in the world...I guess an easy target

Well it should be obvious shouldn't it?!
About 60 years ago it occupied Palestine and terrorized its people and is continueing to do so to this day...the people of the world hated what was going on in apartheid South Africa, and Israel is doing just that right now in Palestine, so what's there to like?!!

Because they're jews.
And the jews killed Jesus.

hmmmmm.......if only it was as simple as that ! I think the world doesn't hate Israel , just the excesses of behaviour it directs to those under it's authority .
In the final analysis , it won't be people who have the final say , but our God ....who is not only the God of Israel , but of Christians as well !
Paul , an educated Jew , said in Romans 3:29 " Is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles too ? Yes , of Gentiles too. "

In case someone need a proof go to the web link that shows little of it.

The world doesn't hate Israel but the world feels it's the source of problems, destruction, hate, crimes against humanity. Very simple Israel doesn't follow any rules agreed by the human world in wars or in peace. They change the truth and history in order to live with the lies they invented. When anyone inside Israel work for peace or start to speak reasonably and fairly they shut his mouth and threaten him or her.

If Israel prefer peace they have the Arab peace initiative which is fair enough, but they still believe peace is not worth. At the same time Israel is setting new rules to the conflict, that will be used later against Israelis themselves.
I'm sure any arrogant person will not understand my last sentence.

Only those who want the land that the Jews rescued hate her people.

The world dose not hate Jewish people. But they hate the Israeli actions and policies. Israeli fanatics want to keep occupying land that was never part of Israel and there is no single nation in the world is willing to recognize that the occupied land is part of Israel.

Dont forget that the bible says the world will march on isreal.
I believe that the following may happen
The muslim world is proving to be the antichrist and will bring another war of global scale.
Lets face it. Islam is not tollerant or rational. It is preaching hate through clerics that want war.
Isreal only wants to survive.
