Faisal al-Qassem is the host of the Al Jazeera program "The Opposite Direction" which is known for raucous debates about Arab politics.
He asked his 5.9 million followers on Twitter, "Which is better, Israel's reputation or Iran's reputation in the region?"
Israel's reputation was judged better by nearly a 3-1 ratio over Iran.
Many people responded saying that they hate both countries. But some explained why Israel was the only logical choice.
" A mighty economy, advanced human development, universities, the highest global ranking, a free democratic system, high-tech industry, smart urban planning, solid infrastructure, golden coasts for tourism and investment, high technology, and farms to generate solar energy, even in agriculture, self-sufficiency in its agricultural crops" said one, adding, "Real democracy: science, education, culture, hygiene as well, research and production, a mighty economy, and industry. A conscious, ambitious people and a rational, enlightened government."
Al-Qassem also asked, "What do you think of the position of the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood, which rejects the Israeli bombing of the Syrian regime's sites in Syria?"
In this case, those opposed to the Muslim Brotherhood (and therefore tacitly supporting Israel attacking Syrian sites) had a 2-1 ratio over those who think the Muslim Brotherhood is correct.
