discuss U.S.-Middle East relations:

(1) “Why do they hate us?” and ” why do we hate them?”

(2) Do they really hate us simply because of “their Islam” or because of “our support” for Israel?

(3) Why do U.S. political elites appear so indifferent to the sufferings of the Palestinian people while so committed to Zionism and the State of Israel and so loud and clear about their commitment?
