I put up my question this way based on the deeds of Israel and the US when it comes to the issues of the Palestinians, and Arabs at large. Is it any wonder that the Arabs think that the problems in the Middle East are fomented by a hidden agenda by the Jews and Americans against them? The hidden agenda to me is KEEP THE OIL FLOWING! Would America still support Israel so vehemently as it does now if the oil wells get dried out? Where was America when genocides were carried out in numerous African countries /eg. Ruanda, Burundi/ and in other parts of the world just in the recent past ? Of course these countries did not have gushing oil fields, so who cares. America needs a strong ally in the Middle East to keep an eye on the Arabs and see to it that the black gold continues to flow uninterruptedly. I do not believe America supports Israel simply because it the holy land and birthplace of Jesus. Iraqi oil is now America's. Iran's oil? Well it's gonna be a tougher nut to crack!
