I didn't know any Muslims in 1967. No, wait, I did know a couple of Iranians who came here to get away from the Shah, but we never talked about Israel. They looked down their nose at Americans in that snooty superior way that I've come to expect from intellectuals from every country, including Americans. We're too fat, our women don't know how to dress well, and our cultural tastes are execrable. 1967 was 35 years ago. The vast majority of Muslims were not even born then. The argument that I made, that every Muslim I know believes that the US favors Israel, and it pisses them off, is limited in the sense that I don't know every Muslim, just some Muslims, but I think it's a very widely held opinion in the Muslim world.
