"Hatred of Israel, and of the United States, is hatred for Western values Like America's war against the Taliban and al-Qaida, the Arab-Israeli dispute is a conflict between opposing philosophies. On the one side are the forces of mysticism, medieval tribalism, dictatorship -- and terror; on the other side are the forces of reason, individualism, capitalism -- and civilization." see the rest at http://www.aish.com/jewishissues/middleeast/Israels_Moral_Right_to_its_Life.asp
I somewhat agree. All cultures don't mix well.Which is why I think sticking Israel where it is was really stupid. The world would be a much nicer place if Israel could be cut out and pasted in south Florida.
Why should people bother reading an article so outdated and full of propaganda as that one? Iran is a democracy, so that makes them equal to Israel. The only difference is that Israel is a terrorist state and Iran a pacifist one. The only reason the US is hated by Islamists is because of its endless support for the state Israel. A state that used terrorism against the United States in the 1950s and 1960s trying to get us in a war against Egypt. Israel's treachery at 911 will never be forgotten.
