More than half the people in the world view Israel in a negative light, according to the results of a new global opinion poll conducted by the BBC.

Asked to rate various nations as either positive or negative influences, 56 percent of the 28,000 respondents from around the world gave Israel a failing grade.

Even Iran scored better, which 54 percent rating the Islamic Republic as a negative influence.

Not surprisingly, the US also fared poorly, getting a thumbs-down from 51 percent of respondents.

A couple years ago, a similar poll conducted within the European Union ranked Israel as the greatest threat to world peace.
