I wonder if 9/11 would have still happened if our support for Israel was no different than for any other country in the region/world. Honest answer from someone who has lived in the region most of her life: It would not. Most of the ill-will towards America in the Muslim world stems from and is fuelled by its unconditional support of Israel against Palestinians. Would there be an Al-Qaeda anyway? Possibly, but as no more than a fringe group of extremist nuts. Would they ever dream to have the support they now enjoy? Would they be as bold, killing thousands at a go, and counting on the eventual polarization of the world? No. Most importantly: Would there be Muslims dancing in the streets after an inhuman attack that took thousands of lives and probably orphaned as many kids in America? Absolutely not. I will probably be called anti-American and anti-Semitist now. It is not true.
