Just when I thought there was hope for you, you backtrack from the little progress you had made.

Whether or not Arab regimes use Israel as an excuse for their own f*ups is was not the question.

The point was that many of the suicide bombers and Jihadists sincerely have strong animosity towards the USA for its support of Israel and without such unequivocal support, US would be having much less headaches.

Now you can argue that Israel is worth the headache. And I am willing to listen to that point of view. But for you to bury your head in the sand and say that Israel is not the issue is very stupid.

PS Spain has been out of Arab hands for centuries and it did not lead to suicide bombers and global jihad movements. So your argument that if Israel was not there, Spain would take its place is a red herring. I sincerely hope you don't believe this crap yourself.
