    Ehhh, it’s closer than you think. People in the Middle East hated Americans for the decades of war we brought to their land. We killed their brothers, uncles, fathers, children, etc. - it’s not hard to understand how that might cause extremist attitudes against the US. Please don’t forget or whitewash the horrible things America has done.

    Palestinians hated Israel for all the same reasons, (plus several more).

    In addition, a terrorist act against civilians was the instigation of both events, leading to a one-sided war obliterating the offending nation.

    This in no way excuses Israel for what they are doing. Killing and starving civilians is wrong, and only serves to embolden the extremists. We know because that’s what happened to the US.
