For Israel's critics, the verdict is in.
They say Benjamin Netanyahu's hardline coalition
is committing war crimes in Gaza
and has pulled his closest ally America
into a disastrous war in Iran.
So Israel is a pariah state.
But is Israel as lonely as critics say?
Or behind closed doors,
do lots of governments see Israel
as too important to isolate?
