It seems that most M.E. Muslims feel this way. As long as most, of them feel this way, then they are no better than Nazis in my mind.

I think most ME Muslims feel that way. However, a better way to express it would be most ME Muslims believe that the lands that are Israel and Palestine should be a place where all religions can be practiced equally, all religions have equal rights under the law, and, as happens in EVERY OTHER COUNTRY IN THE WORLD, when preference is given (eg, is the national weekend Friday or Sunday?) it should be given to the people/religion that have been there the longest. That would require wiping Israel (a "Jewish" state) off the map. It could be replaced by Palestine (a multi-ethnic, multi-religious state) where all people and religions have equal rights.

If expressed properly, I think most equality and freedom loving Americans would agree as well. The Muslims stink at PR, however, so instead of saying "make Israel-Palestine a one man, one vote country where all the adult population can vote" (sounds good to Americans, right), they come off as fanatical idiots threatening to nuke Israel.
