Ever since 'Gulf War I' I have pondered on the symbolism of the world's most ancient ( according to 'known history' ) civilisation being engaged in a mortal struggle with the world's youngest.
But you appear to be right, and I suggest the reason is the perennial one. In order to get people to go out and kill complete strangers without a second thought a considerable amount of indoctrination is required, we human's do know instinctively that killing is wrong. Thus an entire program is set up, using the media, to demonise the 'enemy'. In WW I and WW II, it was the filthy Hun, and later the inhuman little yellow, slant-eyed Japs. In Korea and Vietnam it was the 'slopes' and 'Gooks'. Now in Iraq it's the 'rag-heads', the actual terminology is irrelevant, it's the de-humanisation that counts.
OH, and a small point of order, Yashua bin Jusef was an Israelite, not an Arab, but both groups are, indeed, semitic. And both are descendants ( according to their own beliefs ) of 'Abraham'.

The ignorance in your question exceeds acceptable standards! I don't know where to begin to correct you...Okay, Israel was not "made by america and britan" as you stated. "muslim countriesd trying to kick out Israel" makes no sense at all. If you wish to learn the truth, start first with studying history and then go on to the study of English as a language. Oh and one more thing...Without the global contribution of The United States and Great Britain during WW2 , I can guarantee that you would not have the freedom that you do and that goes for every human in the middle east as well. Rather than bashing us, maybe you should get down on your knees and thank whatever god you choose for the many non muslim lives that were sacrificed to ensure YOUR freedom!

Where do you get the idea that;
1) Americans are anti Middle East?
2) That the Bible was pro anything except pro those who trust God?
3) That Jesus was an Arab?
Are all Jews Arabs?

Not only Americans, but all the sane people of the entire world appropriately detest Mid East Muslim Jehadis. U know why.
The Bible stories happened in Israel & other nearby areas which also Israel will very soon annexe to herself. Amen .
Jesus was NOT repeat NOT an Arab, He was a Jew by birth. Muhammad (PBUH) was an Arab , as U can guess from what he did to small kids including his own daughter in law-Ayesha (PBUH) .

Until they convert all of the middle east they will be anti-Middle East. Except for Judaism they are exempt from and accept as gods chosen people, so they really don't fock with them to much, and they are anti christian because they do not acknowledge Jesus what so ever.

I think it has to do with the fact that the majority of the countries that compile the Middle East are predominantly Muslim. The radicals, which are the minority among Muslims, are giving a bad rep for all Muslims all over the world. Much like televangelists make a mockery of Christianity in the U.S. Perhaps if Jesus' lead had been followed more accurately, following Hebrew Law and loving one another, things might not be so bad.

I'm not anti any nation, I'm anti-bigotry :-) And yes you got it right, they hate Middle Eastern people, although most biblical stories are there.
btw: I'm not Christian, I'm a Deist.
