The U.S. is apart of the UN and is only one of the backers of Israel. They are not alone in this situation therefore they shouldn't take all the hate. The U.S. is not backing Israel over land simply it's defense. Not sure where the idea of land and the U.S. came from. I agree my country has a bad history on land claims, and will always be hated there, but that is what man does. Since the idea that a stone could strike one down. Slaves were also in the business before America was established and after. We even fought a civil war indirectly over it and lost over 600,000 lives over this. Had we not fought a civil war our nation may still be divided over slavery. Had we not fought for independence the UK may have continued it's expansion. Had we not continued west, then another superpower would have in our place, had we not fought in WWI then more European lives would have been lost, had we not fought in WWII then Europe may have fallen to Germany. The only war I disapprove of is Vietnam and the extension of our current fighting in the Middle East. There is more history to your lesson than you think.

I pretty much agree with everything you said there apart from the last 2 points. Even though I'm not American I still support the Vietnam war. It was an oppurtunity to stop the spread of communism and to stop a tyrant seizing power there. Also currently the public of many large countries are saying we should help improve lives for people in the Middle East but disaprove of the wars. These wars are the only way to secure a future for those people and make sure tyrants and extremeists don't get power.
Back on the topic of Israel and Palestine, I think it's hard to say you support one side here. I personally support Israel because I believe they have a stronger argument. But thats just my opinion and I'm not an expert on this topic.
