This is so untrue and unfounded in facts it is appalling that you even make such a statement. "Palestine" is a region of the world that has been called "Palestine" since before the Roman Empire. The Palestinians have a legitimate claim to the land that is now called Israel. Israel was a state created by a dream of the western countries and the land was taken from the Palestinians. After WWI, the big Western powers decided that Jews had been persecuted for too long and they deserved their own state, so they decided that all these brown people in the Middle East who weren't Christians were an easy target to take advantage of. A Jewish state was created and it was partitioned into parts so that Jews controlled a part and Arabs controlled a part with Jerusalem being shared. Israel, backed by the West, took over Palestine and has since been starving, pillaging, and murdering all in the name of national security.
The national media and our own government are pretty much run by Israeli interests. You'll never see a decent expose on the terrible crimes against humanity that Israel commits every day against the Palestinian people on our news channels. It has been proven in numerous studies that AIPAC (the militant Israel lobby) is by far the most influential lobbying group in Washington.
If people knew the story behind how Israel was created and how the Palestinians were shafted over and over again, they would be outraged at our support for Israel (which the rest of world often struggles to understand as well). The problem is, most Americans are either too uneducated or are just plain ignorant to how Israel was created and just call all Palestinians "terrorists" because, as we all know, all Muslims are terrorists and obviously we should support anyone who is agrees with us blindly.
