I think you nailed it really.
Islamic fundamentalism in Iran arose as a result of corruption and persecution by the Shah. Hatred of America in Iran arose because of unequivocal backing for the Shah by the US.
Israel represents the US in the middle east, and Iranians see American policy towards palestinians as a direct analogy to their own previous suffering under the American-supported Shah's kleptocracy.
I don't see why you can't oppose Ahmedinejad's insane crusade and recognise the origins of the Islamic republic for what they are at the same time. Why do so many people mindlessly follow the lies fed to them by the Bush regime... Anyone who opposes any american policy "hates freedom". It's really that simple right? Sheesh.

I have to answer this with another question: Why does most of the world feel disgusted with USA and Israel?
Why does USA try to police the rest of the world (at least the parts where they can get into the oil-industry and sell weapons)? Why don't they try to clean up their own country from corrupt politicians and help their own poor people instead of destroying other countries? Why don't the American people question the connections between the Bush-family and the Saudi Arabian leaders? (Bin Laden comes from those families) Why did the US start (and never end) wars in Afghanistan and Irak when most of the 9-11 terrorists came from Saudi Arabia?
Why does Israel build big walls to keep people away from their jobs and making it impossible to reach shops and markets? And why do they consequently kill lots of civilians for each terrorist?
These are questions the world asks and these are a few reasons to dislike the two countries. When I say "countries", I mean their governments, not the people.
I wander what the US government would say and do if another country demanded that they changed their politics and also demanded that they stopped developing their nuclear bombers.
Any country would be pissed if another one tried to decide what to do.

Iran hates Isreal becuase they occupies the land of palestinians. America support Israel. No America means No Israel. No Israel means No grip for America in Middle East. Jews control the American economy and voting bank. America needs jews and jews needs America. Iran hates both.

It is not about hating and loving...
I would say why Israel and America hate Iran and the region ...
I think as long as there is a plan to rule the whole area by the western world and the jews , there will be hate from the Islamic world to them... as simple as that.

Maybe because they read Yahoo answers and find out how much some Americans hate them simply for their religion.
Or, maybe it's because we used to help their enemies.
Or, maybe it's because we keep trying to tell them their way of life is wrong and they should turn to our wholesome way of life?
It's much too complicated to be answered here, there are entire books devoted to the subject and even still we have no answer.
Hell, maybe it's as simple as why Packer fans "hate" Cowboy fans.
Or, maybe no one really knows because we've spent so long hating each other that we forgot what we were fighting about in the first place.

They want the region, if not the world, to be islamic. By "Islamic" I don't mean the religion, I mean the basic values and laws, think Christiandom. They resent our influence, culturally and otherwise. They see Israel as a big problem that it was placed right in the middle of their homes by us (the west anyway).
I don't agree with any of that. But the one place were they have a point is that we have been incredibly disrespectful to them and their culture. Childish policies like refusing to talk, and screaming for faster reform of policies that have religious consequences (like treatment of women) are stupid.

If you knew what you were talking about you might actually say something intelligent. Assets were frozen in 1979 when they held over 200 americans hostage. I would do the same thing. If you don't like Americans so much why do you use YAHOO? It is after all an AMERICAN company.

It is their current excuse for violence. If Israel ceased to exist Muslims would come up with some other reason. I goal of Islam is the subjugation of the entire world. It has been since the formation of the sect .
