public opinion doesn't count when it comes to Israel

I think history has shown us very clearly that it doesn't matter one bit what Israel does - it's damned whatever it does. So, why should Israel kowtow to public opinion? Who's opinion should Israel go after? Europe has already been poisoned by Islam and anti-Semitism and anti-Israeli attitudes. Turkey has become a Muslim nation, and therefore it has sold itself to Iran. The U.N. hates Israel (even though it voted it a modern Israeli nation in 1948, a JEWISH country), and even when Israel has been bombarded daily by rockets, it did nothing. How many attacks against Israel has the world and the U.N. condemned? Bet you could count the fingers on one hand. Even showing people footage of attacks isn't enough to show truth. People have such hatred and bias that it doesn't matter. So, Israel - do whatever you need to survive and to hell with world opinion.
