MindfulCoug, give your perspective on the current ME conflict if you will.
I already know about the atrocities Israel is perpetrating.
Please answer whether Hamas and others in the Near East want Israel destroyed. |

Iran supreme leader calls for armed west bank.
http://www.presstv.ir/detail/2014/07...-in-palestine/ Most Iranians are not necessarily happy to see thier money and resources being used to support Palestinans but when Israel does what it does best, atrocity, they wont mind doing whatever they can to help fellow human/muslim Palestinans out.

But its a little bit more concerning for Americans becuase they finally get to see the real bride with no heavy holocaust make up on for the first time. Seeing the ugly bride with no hair extensions and no false lashes is really scary. They can't help but think is it really worth spending all our much needed money on her??

In American, the religious right strongly supports Israel. Blank check.
The foreign policy hawks on the right support Israel as well. Most of the Jews in America support Israel. They are generally liberals. And lots and lots of liberals support Israel as well. So it's the one thing where there is bipartisan support. Saying "what about the Palestinians?" is definitely against the grain. Americans have been taught that the Palestinians are something akin to terrorists. Hamas doesn't help change that perception. |

Plus for Hamas to actually care enough to change American perception is a chance to be alive and have a decent lives. The luxury they obviously can't afford.

The problem for the Middle East, if it cares what the US does and thinks, is most Americans view the Middle East as one monolithic whole, and perceive it through the lens of the worst actors, such as Syria, sometimes Iran, Hamas, Libya and Iraq. Because the states are so distant and alien, the average voter see things simplistically and ignores the dissonance.
