speaking to people who have been to the middle east it is Jews and not just Israel that arab's in the middle east hate

They don't know any other Jews, but those in Israel.

When mullahs, from minarets and public loudspeakers throughout the Arab world, cry for revenge it is not against Israel but for heathen jews

Sometimes perhaps. Other times it may be against Israel. Yet some other times it may be against the US. Your statement above is wrong in it that it claims mullahs incite their followers against JEWS and not against ISRAEL.

By the way, I was in a synagogue two years ago when the rabbi started going off about how Jews had to fight the French state AND all French, not to mention the whole Christian world. It went on for a long time. It was very funny for me because I thought, until that time, that this kind of fanaticism was reserved for Muslim radicals :-) The whole thing was sparked, apparently, by an article this guy read in the paper saying some Nazi guy's book was on sale in France. Or something.

In some ways, imo, the arab populace in the middle east is being brainwashed

Sure. And so are Americans, unfortunately, with all this "They hate us because we are pretty" rubbish. What is mass media, after all, but a brainwashing device?

PA refugee camps and she agrees that they are one of the most despicable places on earth. However, her comment was that tens of millions of dollars have been donated from around the world and, indeed, much from Israel, to help improve the situation for these people. But corruption is so rampant within the PA that no money ever makes it the camps.

E.T- Come on :-) Is it MONEY these people need?

So when you talk about arabs hating Israel for the situation with the Palestinian, you are, imo, being naive

No I am not. That Is One Major Reason why Arabs and in fact Muslims in general harbor animosity towards the US. Do you think most know the details of the conflict? Do they even CARE? No. They SEE Israeli tanks and the oppression they bring on the Palestinian people, their Muslim brothers. They KNOW US supports this oppression. They don't need to know more to hate the US.

Not much different from the way Americans didn't need to really understand why Al Qaeda attacked the US before hating them and all the Taliban, and in some cases, all Muslims with them. Just look around on SI.

Arabs hate jews because they are taught to hate jews, not for anything they do

You can believe that is all, if you wish. Just think of all Arabs and all Muslims, in fact, as imbeciles who just hate who they are told to hate.

It doesn't help you understand the situation and less to formulate a solution.
