Answer 1

The countries that are against Israel are mainly the Islamic countries such as Syria, Lebanon, Turkey (it was once strong ally with Israel until the Gaza war and the Aid ship attacks), Egypt and others. One of the only countries in Europe that seem to be anti Israel is Ireland which showed support towards Palestine. South Africa use to be close allies and friends with Israel until the end of the South African Apartheid where it became more anti Israel and more pro Palestine.

The countries that are strong allies of Israel are USA, UK, France, Canada, Germany, Austria, Netherlands and Indian (according to an Israeli survey pole, the Indians are more sympathetic towards Israel then Americans). Other countries that support Israel are China, Russia, Mexico, Australia and just about the whole of Europe.

The rest of the world such as some central Asian countries, parts of Africa and few other countries are Neutral towards Israel.

When I say that all these countries that support or are against Israel, I mean the majority of the people as well as the politicians. All of these facts are based on government research and surveys.

Answer 2

I do agree with you on the US and UK (the UK is one of the European countries

that likely to side with Israel because of Scotland, which is the most religious part of the UK), and it's no coincidence that they are the two most Westernized democratic countries in the Westernized world. But I have to question your Continental Europe stance. I think that for the most part, Continental Europeans are not very religious, and therefore, they won't side with the Jews, they'll side with the Palestinians, especially Italy and Spain.

You will find that South American countries are actually against Israel. Since Operation Protective Edge, Ecuador, Brazil, Chile, Peru and El Salvador withdrew their ambassadors from Israel, Bolivia has labelled it a "terrorist state", and others have cancelled their visa free travel agreements. Much of Latin America is openly supporting Palestine with Haaretz reporting "They've been more vocal than even the Arab countries." During Operation Cast Lead, Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez accused Israel of genocide. Cuba does not recognize Israel's right to exist.

Guatemala, however, supports Israel, while Argentina has not made a definitive stand.
