They attack other countries, but they see us as the biggest threat to their way of life, so they attack us the most.  They think we are going to colonialize the rest of the world (I can't say that I disagree), and since they see our (western) lifestyles as evil, they want to stop us before that happens to them by raising awareness in their own countries of our evil deeds.  It certainly doesn't help that we back Israel.

Yes some of us do. I honestly do not understand why we have never recognized a Palestian state. Clinton tried his best to get Arafat to accept that when he was president. When Arafat died, I saw on PBS that he stated declining Clinton's offer was his biggest regret.\n\nSome of us do believe it wasn't right for outside nations to walk in and give land to a group of ppl ... creating Israel. BUT, it is done and can't be undone now. \n\nLike I said, if the world would just give Palestian a state with set borders, I really think 90% of the conflict would at least BEGIN to get resolved.

Oh, you are so perceptive!  Yes, I think it is THE KEY.  For whatever reason, and rightly or wrongly, the Israelis are seen as the aggressors, and the USA is seen as the supporter of everything Israel does.  We give Israel more foreign aid than we give to anyone else, and the Arabs conclude that we could force Israel to do what we really wanted--therefore, whatever Israel does, the USA must be backing it.The Arab/Muslim world would not focus its resentment on us to the extent it does if there were a genuine peace in Palestine; and if there were peace there would be a chance of prosperity and jobs, and the lives of the Palestinians would not be so desperate that suicide bombing would continue to be a worthwhile alternative.  I think that 9/11 is the direct result of the continuing war in Palestine, and our penalty for our failure to differentiate the USA from everything Israel does.

Yes, and Us supported Pinochet in Chile, Batista in Cuba and many more bloody dictators, as show the link below.  Do you know that US give Israelis arms to kill palestinans? USA are not so friendly.

No, we should not continue our support.  We never should have given it in the first place, and here's why:\n\nIf Israel is a sovereign nation, then it needs to act like one & quit hiding behind America's skirts like a bunch of scared children [granted, most children aren't allowed to play with nuclear weapons, but that's the answer to a whole other question].\n\nAlso, I'm sick & tired of Isreal's oppression of Palestine being defended by America, a land that [allegedly] does not condemn people based on their religon.  It's reall quite hypocritical of our leaders to even consider it.\n\nIf, on the other hand, they would care to become America's 51st state then I would be Happyto see them afforded all the rights, freedoms, and protections that come with being part of the union.\n\nBottom line:  Sink or swim Isreal, and let history judge you as it has the rest of the world.\n\n...I for one couldn't care less...why anyone would claim such a gods forsaken place as the middle east as a 'holy land' is beyond my comprehension...\n\nStop.\nThink.\nResist.

It is a bit hypocritical. We attack Iraq for violation of one UN resolution, but support Israel who is in violation of 4 UN resolutions.

Elizebeth- All the sheepherders would disagree with that.  Let Israel put up a wall.  Every suicide bomb that the Palestinians use Israel destroys a Palestinian village.  Sooner or later the Palestinians would back down

We support Israel only because we need a friend in the Middle East.  That's the only reason why Israel was formed in the first place.  Harry Truman, after WWII, supported the creation of Israel because he and his cabinet figured if there was a nation in the Middle East that they could be friends with, then the US would have support if they ever went to war in that area of the world.

if we pulled our aid from palestine...well it probably would have little effect, outside of non-profits, the support our government gives them is largely nill and imaginative.\n\nas for isriel...well that might be a different story.  but then i would like to think we have given them enough already that they can stand on their own two feet by now.

I disagree with MrUSARocket man.\n\nWhat R U talking about man?\n\nThere wasn't an Israel B4 1948 so how can it B Jewish land?\n\nIt was Arab land & Israel has in it's short existance wiped out many an anicent Arab towns 4ever, never 2 B heard of Again.\nThe Brits, in the PITT accord, gave it away @ the end of the Second WW.  \nIf U took the time 2 educate Yourself, go find a old atlas from say the 1970's it clearly shows U that Israel was no where near Jerusalam.\nThat was gained fighting wars, wars the Arabs didn't want & handed over more land 2 the expanding Israel.  \nBecause they had no choice.\nFunny that, huh?

It doesn't matter if anybody stands by Israel, they would stomp the Arabs with or without world support. (But I do stand by Israel).

America supports Israel because it is the politically smart thing to do as a large amount of the American population is Jewish and thus supporting Israel keeps those Jews from voting against the government.
