The point is that the Jews used terrorism to get what wanted
politically - phoning ahead doesn't exactly lessen the death of a
hundred people; the Jews certainly didn't hold off because the hotel
wasn't evacuated, did they?

The Jews set a precedent in the region that you can use terrorism to
accomplish your political goals.  Since the Americans support a
country that supported terrorism, the Arabs rightly see American
policy as hypocritical.  After all, why should we support Israel
rather than Palestine?

The mistake some Arabs make, however, is believing that the reason is
religious.  The reason is oil.

And let's not forget how America came to be - we started our path to
Independence with terrorism against the British as well.
