It wasn't assumed, it was clearly there.
There was nothing shocking about the statement, plenty of people saw it without malice and Bopa himself stated that is was taken the wrong way, so those who took offence either misinterpratated or assumed some malice in his words
If I recall correctly, he even admitted his "malice toward Israel."
I highly suspect he meant he didn't like israel, as in the goverment, if that is what he meant i would second the statement, i have malice towards the israeli goverment, like i do with with the paelstinian goverment, like i do with almost every country from Zimbabwe to Netherlands, just sort of a sliding scale...
