i am an american and do not hate or love the arabs. the arabs I have met here and talk to are some of the nicest people i have ever met . my dentist is from iran and i am from french parents and here we are just 2 people talking to each other when i see him.my insurance agent is jewish and she is also very nice too. the reason we all get along here is simple their and my kids wil eat today and tommorow it does not matter that they are french jewish or mexican black whatever.as a father of 3 kids i feel for any parent when I see them having to bury a child cause ALL parents love their kids and want what is best for them arab or jew catholic or anything else. i really hope for both side that they can learn from their cousins friends etc learn that in america jews and arabs get along over here cuase the govt here does not favor any one or the other in our daily lives over here.i wish more people could agree with this statement from pope john paul on the jews '' they are our older brothers'' and that applys to christian when you the muslims came after both to quote your prophet dont we belong to the same book.may allahs peace truly be upon you , and plse dont think all americans are hateing you cause we support democracy and israel like us share that form of govt when so many arab country dont thx for a good question

Arabs like all other groups of peoples in the world are multifaceted, diverse and wonderfully individual ...Islam is beautiful to it's followers as is Christianity and Judaism. The problem with all three of the Abrahamic religions as I see it is the ambiguity of the text. It is not the faith that is the issue but rather the misinterpretation or reinterpretation of the scrpitures. It is desturbing also, the way the western media has been able to successfully connect the idea of a terrorist with Muslims. Why does no one cry terrorist when a fundamentalist Christian bombs or snipes an abortion clinic? Or when an Israeli bulldozer knocks down an old Palestinian woman's home? Also not all Arabs are Muslims.. I work with both Muslim and Christian Arabs and I can tell you from my personal experience that they are like anyone else. They love their families, they work hard..their children are respectful to me and the other people in the company. They are proud Americans. ..So do I like Arabs ?,I suppose ..as much as I Iike nice Italians, Indians, Japanese etc... We have to remove ourselves from this climate of fear and suspicion.

Personally, I think that the Palestinians are getting a raw deal. I think that a lot of Israelis are being raised ignorant of the other people in their country (Christians included) in order to justify the opppresion of non-Jews. I just wish Palestinians would try a little passive resistance, like Ghandi and Martin Luther King jr. The world might be more sympathetic to peaceful demonstrators being beaten than rock-throwing hooligans and masked and armed thugs being killed. But, I also understand that you do what you can, and the world didn't pay attention when the Palestinians weren't killing Israelis.

I dont hate them. I had a good friend in highschool who moved here from palestine.
I believe its an unfortuante event and no side can truely be happy as it sits.
I do believe that israel belongs to the Jews, but I also believe that palestinians have a right to live in their own country as well.
As far as the religious aspects of the dispute, the jews first build their site on the temple mount, i think that should count as dibs. Even though it was destroyed, remains still stand proving they had it first.
The whole thing is just a big mess that really can only be solved supernaturally.... theres just no possible way to apease the human nature of all who are involved.

I think Arab women are some of the most beautiful women in the world. I think Arab men have been conditioned to hate Jews and any other race or religion that they feel threaten by. Personally the Arabs I know are highly intelligent and classy.
Unfortunately - Arabs get a bad rap in big cities for being smelly cab drivers and convenient store owners here in the states..

Just like other people, there are good and bad among the Arabs. It's a shame the extremists in the Islamic world have made the forefront in the world today, trying to spread their ideas of radical hatred for Christians and Jews and all other non-believers when they say their religion is one of peace. It makes it hard for all others to believe they don't have their eyes set on ruling the world through their religious beliefs

As long as an Arab wants to live in peace and abide to the laws of the community he lives, then there is no problem. The world is shown too many acts of terrorism committed by people of the middle east, what we don't see is the cry of outrage against it. We are assuming you embrace the terrorist, since nobody is speaking up. We know the middle easterners will mass and protest on many issues. Why not this one?

I want to be the first to say that you have opened a huge can of worms here. You will get a load of replies from people just trying to incite fury, or showing their stupidity. Racist thoughts hurt EVERYONE. The only people I have no patience for are those who cannot accept others for who/what they are - it doesn't matter if they are Arab or Jew or Black or White or PURPLE WITH GREEN SPOTS!!!!

For most people in my nation, arabs come here to find an elligible wife, to marry as to get rid of their country. Hardly any marraige is done in true love.That is what pisses me most .....They can't see a girl without trying to manipulate her. Many end up rapeing innocent girls that don't want to have nothing to do with them. Most of them carry knives with them which is truly not fair for us maltese. We have been invaded by arabs , I'm no racist, I'm not an optimist nor a pessimist but a realist ! To top it all when a marriage is done between an arab and a maltese girl, the maltese girl ends up being almost a slave to the male arab as they still have the mentality that the man is the top gene! A married maltese girl can forget to eat pork, bacon,ham etc as its against the arab religion even if the girl is catholic , she must obey her man!Either she obeys or they end up splitting up ,still he'd have the maltese citizinship,thats why he married in the first place. Its so stupid and insane!!

I don't have any emotions towards Arabs. I do however have strong dislike for radical Islamics. I know there is a difference between the two, but if I am riding in a plane sitting next to an Arabic looking person, I am gonna be on my toes the whole flight.
