    Would you be shocked at paying $100 billion for a banana?

    I am not a historian and am not politically correct. The truth is that Islamic nations do not have problems with the West. I suppose some scholars would cite precedence rooted in the Crusades, but I don’t believe this. The fact is that Muslims are sweet people who committed to family and peace of mind. They love food, music and soccer. They will never tell a lie and always live up to their commitments. A certain few resent the United States for subsidizing Israel. After World War II, a dependence on the United States and Europe was established such that now, any removal of this aid would be sending the herd (Israelis) out to slaughter. The supply of arms and vital resources to Israel by Europe and the United States fuels the zealots’ rage.

    I guess the question should be why do Arabs hate Israel. The answer is long, but I know this: Currently, Israeli soldiers’ day-to-day treatment of the Palestinians is horrible (even without the current war). Imagine being harassed, even sexually, when you go to school or to the market by soldiers day in and day out. Imagine being hassled just because the 16-year-old Israeli soldier can. If you fight it, you go to jail. It happens all the time. I resent the United States and European support of Israel. For me, it is like the United States has institutionalized racism for this country only.
