Iraq knew and accepted that as a risk before going in. You could make
the argument that the Palestinians knew about things that they do not
like here, it's a matter of degrees.

But are the civilian contractors in Iraq really comparable to the
Palestinians on the show? Are the Palestinians on the show working for a
Palestinian company in America? (I don't know as I haven't seen the show
in question)
The contractors in Iraq AFAIK, didn't bring their wives/husbands and
families. And while you might (and did) say both are motivated by the
money, it is highly unlikely that the Palestinians going to work in
America have to worry about taking fire from the local populace during
the ol'commute.
Apples and oranges?
