America wants spread democracy, but America upbraided Palestinians for their choice of choosing Hamas
127058
Because Hamas wants to destroy Israel.  America wants to support democracy because democracies usually don't support terrorism.  The Palestinians proved to be the exception here.  Just because Hamas wants to destroy Israel does not mean that the United States has to give Hamas money to do so.

In some aspects, they do have a point.\n\nThe USA won't mind our own business. The arabs see the USA as imperialist hell bent on destroying them.\n\nThe US needs to do some good PR and change the situation.

Who told you that are more rational than them? When it comes to America's will everything is legal.Only America's rights and desires are logical.Try to read a non-American newspaper;A European for example.You are greatly misinformed and misled.The American government wants you to believe that its way of thinking is correct.They need the support of the American public to reform or -even worse- to completely change the Arab or Middle Eastern culture.You have-I mean the Americans- your cosmic theory and the Arabs have their own.You don;t have the right to change them.It's an insult.And stop playing God.

Actually, not all the rest of the world assume that all Americans are narrow minded and ignorant.\n   I don't deny that many many Americans are narrow minded and ignorant and that's not a result of anything but refusing to listen or to understand people's way of thinking, and I always say that there are many Americans who still think themselves living in the center of universe and refuse do dialog with other nations. That's a fact BUT>>>>>>>\n  I know many Americans here in Palestine, some of them are friends of mine, they are so nice and so open-minded because they saw they truth by their naked eyes and believed it. And even in USA itself I know there are millions of good Americans (such as you, and I really wish all people around this world have your ideology, we would never have problems!).\n   Even here, some people think all Americans are narrow-minded, and please don't blame them, because they're being killed by US arms used by Israelis, their homes are demolished by that Caterpillar. But believe me - in Palestine- a big majority sees many Americans as nice people.\n  Yazan, Palestine, 16 years old, school student.\n                                                                                 Regards.

0%.  Think about it.\n\nWhy in heck would a terrorist, or someone who "hates America", bother to vote?\n\nJust logically, if you are determined to destroy America, then trying to do so by going into a ballot box and casting your one little vote is absurd.\n\nThis is what is so ridiculous (and irresponsible) about either side saying that "terrorists" support the other side ... terrorists don't care about affecting things through, or the results of, the democratic process ... that's why they're terrorists!  \n\nDon't people think about these things?

After WW2, the UN proposed a seperate state for the Jews in Palestine. The Allied powers effectively drawed up various Arab states that were previously ruled by western colonial powers. Israel was meant for the Jews, and yes there was a seperate Palestinian state proposed. The Arabs had mixed feelings about a Jewish state, but most of the local Arabs in Palestine welcomed it. But what happened was that some of the Jewish militias started to sieze the already drawn up Palestinian lands and worst of all terrorizing and killing the local Arabs. Those militias had some powerful backup from abroad, especially in the US. Many of those backup organizations are non government organizations and many well known businesses. The militias fought for more land and resources and of course killing people, inlcuding children. Israel's first prime minister Ben Gurion once said   “We must use terror, assassination, intimidation, land confiscation, and the cutting of all social services to rid the Galilee of its Arab population.” That's what the Israelis did and still do so more efficiently. There are many powerful organizations in the US that observe every inch of content as to what is presented in the US media to the American public, so no one knows exactly what really goes on in the occupied territories in Palestine. So, my friend, it is Israel that occupies Palestine with full fledged US support and not the other way around. That is the truth and the whole truth. Peace be upon you.

Hamas is dedicated to the eradication of Israel.\n\nTheir sole aim is to murder every Jew, not just in Israel but in the US as well.\n\nI'd say that his platform is a bit shaky.

Israel is a terrorist state and the US are supporting them because they have an interest in keeping the region unstable, also because public opinion in the US is mainly geared towards supporting Israel against its Arab neighbours. There is a good deal of hidden racism there, Israel is seen as "one of us" against those non-Christian barbarians.\nUnless the US public start demanding a change in politics, the slaughter of civilians and the total disregard for the rights of the Palestinians will go on.\n\nIn Europe there is already a visible swing away from that, and I hope it will spread over the Atlantic.

Al Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden hated Israel and its supporters because they are anti-Islam which is their religion.  Thus, America as the number one supporter of US is always a target of terrorism.

I don't think Americans Have a complete democracy like any other Asian Countries do have.  There had been many conversory always happening in Presidental Election. If you had heard the speech last time election propoganda you can see it. Other wise, majority of people in America do like war and killing the people. But I don't think so, although they had criminal cutlure in back ground.\n   \n  I have seen some answers here, don't consider american in one category.  Unfortunately many americans have this problems. Americans have superiority in their thinking pattern.\nAnd other answers here it's like very pathetic.  No one has answered correctly to your question.\n\n  If Americans don't change their attitude to other nations, they have to suffer, see the Latin American countries Have been changed. I don't think If any Indian can support to America today. Moreover, day by day Indians comment against americans.

I am an American citizen that DID vote for Bush. As far as most Americans are concerned, Iranian citizens need to get THEIR leaders to calm down and TALK. We understand you are very devoted to your faith, but not EVERYONE wishes to live in that kind of society. This is a BIG world and we ALL need to live here. How about showing us why some call Islam the "Religion Of Peace". PLEASE?

You guys need to talk to a history major! For goodness sake the US feels guilty because of the Holocaust. But no, Israel did not take land from the Palestinians, Israel has existed longer for crying out loud. The Palestinians were a little bit more radical that the Jordanians so they were kicked out and they wanted land so they laid claim to land that belonged to Israel. And as an American I don't hate Muslims, what I hate is someone who claims they have the right to kill in the name of a religion at all. If you're going to kill just say its because you're a bad person who enjoys the pain of others, not because you're religion told you so. The Bible, the Koran, the books that the Jewish, Buddhist, and what a lot of the other major religions say is to not kill, so stop hijacking religions and lets get to the frigging point. Every religion historically has been used by someone, the Muslims aren't to blame, the murderers of the world are.

Violence towards these ppl is only going to fuel more violence.\n\nIf that is not evident by now to you and others, then I don't know how much more evidence you need.\n\nThe only way to tackle the anti-American terrorism dilemma is through some major diplomacy but mostly, through incentives.\n\nTake Palestine as an example... Palestine is impoverished, ppl are starving, etc... sanctions have resulted in this. Now ask yourself, they know they could get our aid if they just do what we say but is that making them listen to us? NO.\n\nAll that is doing is making them hate us more.\n\nInstead of bullying these extremists that will die starving before they will be 'owned', how about using the funds we put into the military on incentives for them to build their infrastructure.\n\nThink about it... if we helped Palestine build it's infrastructure and economy, would they not be grateful? Yes they would. Of course some would always fight.. but after a generation or two, you can't tell me their children wouldn't remember and start to question anti-American sentiment.\n\nThat is just one example but you the idea.

Giving Palestine to the Jews after WW2, was a mistake, hasn't worked out, and should be recognised as such.\n\nThe policy of the USA leaders isn't helping matters, without their support peace will never be possible.\n\nWe need a revolution in the USA first before anything else can happen\nHopefully with the increasing national debt, dependency on and shortage of oil, and the worsening living standards of poor Americans ,the revolution wont be far off

Much in the same way the Cuban-American population has exerted political influence over US foreign policy towards Cuba, the Jewish-American population (which is, by the way, larger than the Israeli Jewish population) has consistently lobbied for a US protected Israel.\n\nAlso, Israel is not a theocracy, it is a secular country of Jewish people.\n\nIt is also worth noting that Egypt receives more foreign aid from the US than Israel does.  And the Palestinian Authority  gets a huge chunk of change too.  It's not the fault of the US and Israel that the PA and Egypt are so corrupt that the aid gets pocketed by the leaders while the people are left destitute and seething with anger.

They are a legitimate political group whose ideas are not aligned with the us governments therefore they are classified by terrorists in the US. Only three other countries classify them as a terrorist organization and that is the militant arm of Hamas, I believe only one other country besides the US considers the entire group terrorists and that may be Israel. I am not entirely sure because it has been at least a year since I watched something about them.\n They were elected into power because the previous ruling party in Palestine was corrupt.
