You hear a lot about it on the news. Muslims hate the Israeli's. Suicide bombers attack Isreali's, ,etc etc.
I have a freind at work, an Arab , I won't give his name he still has family back home. Someone got into a discussion with him about this, and then he explained the whole situation to us.
The Middle East is run by dicatorships. Dictatorships don't actually ask their populations what they think about anything. They tell you. Then they tell you to get out and shout the correct slogans for the western media , etc etc. If you fail, they shoot you . Similarily , every western reporter is followed around by Minders, something I recall them complaining about at the beginning of the Iraq invasion. (Reporters woke up one day , where did all the minders go ?)
What the arab population really thinks is that the Israeli's are their hero's. Enemey of their enemey and all that. The Dictators hate them so they have to be the good guys some hows.
Well , if you're a dictator you're not going to win many friends are you ? And long simmering hatred's that you push tend to boomerrang , don't they ?
Who would of thunk it ? Israeli's are the hero's of the common muslims.
Just don't ask them about it when you have three minders tagging along behind you , thats all.

I say we just nuke the whole freakin mid-east and put them out of our misery.
Why can't they all just get along?
God I hatequoting Rodney King.................
Considering the constant bombardment of stories we get on how much they hate us, I think it's refreshing to discover that that just isn't so. It's just a few religious fanatics, and those are the ones that make the news ... good to be reminded that the news does slant things in favor of whatever is exciting.
