(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Respondents in the poll say Tel Aviv's policies are the main reason for their hatred toward Israel.
They also blame Israel's racist Jewish nature as the second reason for their negative attitude towards Tel Aviv.
The survey was conducted by Berlin-based Freidrisch Ebert Foundation last July.
Around 3500 European adults participated in the telephone poll.
The developments come as peace activists in Europe are calling for Palestinian statehood, an end to the Israeli occupation, as well as the release of all Palestinian prisoners.
Moreover, Israel has also imposed a blockade on Gaza since the democratically elected Hamas government took control of the territory in 2007.
More than 1,400 Palestinians were killed during the three-week Israeli land, sea and air offensive in the impoverished coastal sliver during the winter of 2008-2009. The offensive also inflicted USD 1.6 billion in damage to the Gazan economy.
A United Nations inquiry led by the former South African judge, Richard Goldstone, detailed what investigators called Israeli actions "amounting to war crimes, possibly crimes against humanity," during Israel's offensive against the Gaza Strip.
