I think they would only love us if we did what they don't have the strength to do despite many many tries and thats destroy Israel. Now if we did that they might like us for a few weeks.
Of course if you think I'm going to side with a people stuck in the 8th century instead of the only free state in the area, you will have to keep hating us.

no i dont hate "yous" i was using the word 'we' collectively to connect with the arab and muslim masses generally.. as a whole, i would be considered within the realm of the arab and muslim masses, hence using the word 'we', though i live in australia.
i dont recall the many many attempts to destroy israel in the last 60 or so years. sure, theres been a few measly attempts, no one can deny it. but i dont think anyone has asked the USA to destroy israel.
sadly, i think you missed my point in this whole post, and your final paragraph is a testament to that. your refusal to even look the issues at hand, and your wanton support of israel without even a sense of apathy for the other side is exactly what im talking about. this is unfortunate since i think your a pretty switched on fellow.
p.s. they hated you before afghanistan for many reasons.. i tried to only concentrate on the last 5 years since 911 since the question 'why do they hate us' popped up then. i think the question of the origins of why do they hate us has come up in previous threads, but id rather limit this to what is happening now, rather than in the last 50 years since this topic can be sidetracked. but im sure that your aware that colonial powers had much to do with the dismembering of the arab world and the installation of western appointed rulers and despots.
i dont think 'we' (yes im using it collectively) think the USA hates us at all. rather we tend to think that the USA is working in its own self interest. so really deep down, they dont think you do it for the hate, only for the greed.
