Neither do I. The problem with Americans and most people in general is that they are very well versed in history. They get their knowledge from news articles and Hollywood. It's no wonder people don't know the truth. But I've done a heck of a lot of reading on the Middle East, it's history, Israeli history, the Qu'ran, and a host of other issue related to this. I started out thinking that the Israelis were brutal oppressors and the Palestinians were just as brutal resistors. But after reading about the circumstances from WWII forward that lead up to all of this, it became crystal clear that the Arabs are a very morally corrupt people. And the most devout of them following think nothing of killing infidels, because well, the Qu'ran tells them to. Alot of people say well, Catholics and Christians have had their share of brutality, such as the Inquisition. But I say, sure, but that was centuries ago. These are modern day terrorists. It's no coincidence that wherever there is a large Islamic population, they are agitating and terrorizing people in their attempts to gain independent states. Just look in Spain and in the Philipines. I'm just thankful we don't have a large Islamic contigent in the U.S. They'd probably be advocating session and the formation of an Islamic state based on Sharia law. They call the Israelis brutal, but you just watch how brutal the American people can be if we started experiencing daily terrorist bombings like the Israelis have been experiencing for the last few decades.
