"I would be interested in how this theory of yours applies to the Israel/Palestinian problem, which, after all, is the main source of anti-US feeling in the region as per every single poll ever conducted on the subject, a finding my experience confirms."

I'm sure the polls are accurate, however, the source of information for Arab people is mostly government controlled media and it is geared to being antijewish and antiamerican. For example, last year a Saudi government newspaper did a story citing an Arab university professor who explained to readers that jews eat gentiles during passover. Now come on, if you have those kinds of rags pumping out stories like that, then of course your going to create a public opinion that is anti whatever it is you desire. While Arabs in the middle east decry US financial aid to Israel, from what I read, no Arab paper points out that Egypt gets the second most amount of aid. So where's the beef. Don't you agree that much of the Arab sentiment toward the US and Israel is created through government controlled media.
