Your use of rankings from as far back as, checks, 2016 on things that show things like GDP, a Innovation Index, a Economic Complexity Index, a Index of Economic Freedom, Global Competitiveness Index, Global Dynamism Index, Human Capital Report, Inclusive Development Index-from 2018, Ease of doing business index, and lastly but surely not least a Logistics Performance Index-from 2016 surely, surely show how Israel is viewed by the world no instead of actual polls for our country that shows that a "majority of Americans (53%) now express a somewhat or very unfavorable opinion of Israel." Its the Logistics Performance Index from 2016 that does it for ya isn't it? Thats the one that proves in your mind that you are right and I am wrong isn't it? Cause I mean shit, if you didn't do well with logistics performance in 2016 then you could well be a pariah state in 2025.
