"Why do they hate us?" The answer is simple- Our government supports Israel. Israel is an evil empire governed by gangsters and mass murderers. They assassinate anyone who opposes them. They torture prisoners. Their evil deeds are not only directed against their Arab neighbors. They kidnap Russian women and use them as slaves. They have been caught spying on American citizens and stealing federal/police records. There's also a great chance that Israel knew exactly what would take place on September 11 (since the 911 hijackers were under Israeli intelligence surveillance), yet they chose not to inform the U.S. government. Despite Israel's long history of violence, lies, and torture, the American government gives full support to Israel. We give them billions of tax payer dollars every year and supply them with our latest military technology. Is there any wonder why they hate us?
