I would think that if they do hate them, it's because the arabs want to kill them. The muslim faction of the arabs want to kill anyone that isn't a muslim. That's a basic tenet of their religion. If you're not muslim, you're an infidel, worthy of no respect, and should be killed. As long as they teach and believe those things there will always be a percentage of them will act on those beliefs. There's too many of them for that percentage to be ignored, pooh poohed off as immaterial.  So the rest of the world can either speak out against them, or keep quiet about it. If quiet is the choice, they will never change. They haven't changed in the last 1000 years, and there's no reason to think they will change in the next 1000 years. By speaking out against them, they'll either change or get mad. If they get mad, they'll act. If they act, they'll be defeated and then the rest of the world can go in there and change things for them.   In our country when we had slavery, I don't believe that things would have changed if people hadn't spoken out against it. Why would it?  The problem is very deep, and it's very serious. They blame the rest of the world for their failings, they teach hate, and their culture is one of repression and aggression, founded in their religion. Isreal is the tag. If Isreal wasn't there what would be different? They would still believe that all non muslims are infidels worthy of nothing.   Their religion is the root of the problem, not Isreal and the jews. If it was only jews, they wouldn't be killing hindus and christians, and whoever else they have killed because they weren't muslim. This is a religious war, not one started by US, but started by THEM. They felt that the time was now to start it. They miscalculated. That's their bad. If people don't stop hiding their head in the sand and address the situation head on, and start discussing the real problem, we're  going to have death and destruction caused by them forever. Forever.. The U.S. could nuke Isreal tomorrow, kill every jew there. That would NOT solve the problem.
