When I recently saw an op-ed that casually referred to Israel as “racist,” I decided to see if anyone had actually ranked nations on their racist character by any sort of objective criteria.

Some of the most recent, fact-based results came out in 2016, from Insider Monkey, combining public data from two other surveys.

Ten of the entities are Arab. At least 12 of them are officially Muslim. (Hong Kong appears to be a mistake, by the way.)

“Palestine” came in second in the percentage of people who would not want neighbors of another race, behind only Libya.

You will be hard-pressed to find the adjective “racist” appended to any mention of Lebanon or Japan or Turkey — but using that word before Israel doesn’t even raise eyebrows. That’s the power of anti-Israel propaganda.

Just another piece of evidence that the people who pretend to be the most liberal for some reason embrace the least liberal causes — as long as that cause happens to oppose a liberal, tolerant Jewish state.

Elder of Ziyon has been blogging about Israel and the Arab world for a really long time now. He also controls the world, but deep down, you already knew that.
