Why do U.S. political elites appear so indifferent to the sufferings of the Palestinian people

Why do U.S. political elites appear so indifferent to the sufferings of the Palestinian people while so committed to Zionism and the State of Israel and so loud and clear about their commitment?

1. Read carefully about the real motives of the 9/11 hijackers on pages 147 and

162 of The 9/11 Commission Report

at: http://govinfo.library.unt.edu/911/report/911Report.pdf (follow the pagination

2. Read carefully the three-paragraph section titled ‘Anti-American Attitudes’ on

pages 14 and 15 of the Report of the Defense Science Board Task Force on Strategic

Communication: http://ftp.fas.org/irp/agency/dod/dsb/commun.pdf

3. Read carefully pages 1-4 of The Palestine-Israel Conflict and the United States

4. Read carefully this quote: "perceptions of U.S. policy in the Israeli-Palestinian

conflict feed anti-Americanism. A 2003 Pew Global Attitudes poll found that

enormous majorities in Arab and Muslim countries (at least 90% in Jordan, the

Palestinian Authority, Morocco, and Lebanon) believed the U.S. favors Israel too

much. Although our most recent survey did not ask this same question, it did find

strongly negative views towards Jews in the Arab world. For example, no

respondents in either Lebanon or Jordan had a favorable view of Jews (on the other

hand, 91% of Lebanese and 58% of Jordanians had a favorable view of Christians)–

6. Based EXCLUSIVELY on the 8-page readings, the video, and the critical thinking

tips (see course syllabus and PowerPoint slides), write a 100 to 150 word-essay in

which you discuss concisely but thoughtfully the critical questions that seem to come

to mind whenever we discuss U.S.-Middle East relations: (1) Why do they hate us?

and why do we hate them? and (2) Why do U.S. political elites appear so indifferent to the sufferings of the Palestinian people while so committed to Zionism and the State of Israel and so loud and clear about their commitment? In this context, the term Zionism refers to the international colonial movement designed to make Palestine an extraterritorial nation-state for world Jewry.
