Isreal is the 6th richest country in the world yet they recieve 1/3 of all US foreign aid. As for why countries dislike Isreal, it is because of their repression of the Palastinians, seizing of their land, and disreguard for international laws and treaties.

Simple, Israel doesn't want to give back Palestinians forefathers land them.\nWhile Jews immigrated to Palestine (60 years ago), they wanted all of their lands to make a new country (Name Israel). So they founded this country by killing Palestinians, destroying houses, running out Palestinian, etc.\nThey won't let others even speak about their activities including, looting, killing innocents people, etc.\nThus freedom countries are protesting against Israel guiltiest.\n\nAlso, UN can't do anything about Palestine because US will use its Veto voting to disappoint all of peaceful activities against Israel.

what some of the others neglected to tell you is that there is such a bitter hatred of jews among arabs that they can't stand the idea of there being a jewish state at all.  The particular land wasn't that important to the palestinians (a misnomer because there really is no nationality) it was because jews were there.  The other arab states don't even want the so called palestinians.  There could be peace if these people would live in peace.  The Israelis want it but they will no longer tolerate terrorism or a threat to their security.  Can you blame them? \nJust for the record..I am not a jew and I do not hate palestinians.  I pray they can find a way to live in peace.

Israel is a terrorist state and the US are supporting them because they have an interest in keeping the region unstable, also because public opinion in the US is mainly geared towards supporting Israel against its Arab neighbours. There is a good deal of hidden racism there, Israel is seen as "one of us" against those non-Christian barbarians.\nUnless the US public start demanding a change in politics, the slaughter of civilians and the total disregard for the rights of the Palestinians will go on.\n\nIn Europe there is already a visible swing away from that, and I hope it will spread over the Atlantic.

Israel had many ties with South Africa well before the UN sanctions against apartheid were put into effect, but it did continue to trade with South Africa in violation of the embargoes. They do oppose UN embargoes in general however and also eventually reduced their military support of South Africa at the request of the US.

After WW II, and what happened to the Jews because of Nazism, many countries felt it would be politically advantageous to give the Jews their own country and put it in modern-day Israel.  Which at the time was inhabited by Palestinians.  So you can imagine why the Palestinians feel slighted when they had no say in what they saw as their own land being given away.  So they did what humans often do and attacked Israel.\n\nNow the Jews of Israel didn't really see this as they took the land, the land was given to them.  And so they saw Palestine attacking them and the defended themselves, basically these wars were two groups of people defending themselves from actions they saw as attacks by the other group.  These wars created strong feelings of hate, especially when Israel took the Gaza strip in the Six Day War of 1967 and refused to give it back when the war was over.  Israel saw it as an aggressive war by the Arabs (I'm not sure the countries except for sure Egypt, Palestine, and Syria; I believe Iraq and Iran, Yemen and a few others were in it against Israel, which fought by itself), and when they won and took the land, they felt it rightfully theirs.  Arabs saw it as a war to retrieve what was theirs (Israeli land) and felt it wrong when more of the land they were on was taken.\n\nSo there will likely always be fighting until the last days of this system humans have set up and God comes to fix things.  Or if you happen to believe in evolution, the fighting probably will never end until something huge happens, bigger than the current wars we see there.

Israel is the only country in the middle east that has a Judeo-Christian ethic and belief system.  Many Christians and Jews in the US support them because of that.  Also, they are of strategic importance to us militarily.

They are there to repress arab countries, but not everybody support them, in fact, a lot of people think that we should stop supporting Israel.

I doubt if they know, its racial hatered bred into them.But from what I know, the fault lies with the allies of world war two. Churchill and Eisenhower just drew lines on the map. Israel did not exist. The Palestinian were there, they had no claim to the land. The allies should have given both of them land, bigger than what the gave Israel. There was plenty of room. Who would have been able to question it.If they had the Palestinian problem would not exist

Don't quote me on this. But I think it's something to do with Geographical risk....\ni.e. Don't build a hotel in Israel, don't open a bar in Iran etc, etc..

They attack other countries, but they see us as the biggest threat to their way of life, so they attack us the most.  They think we are going to colonialize the rest of the world (I can't say that I disagree), and since they see our (western) lifestyles as evil, they want to stop us before that happens to them by raising awareness in their own countries of our evil deeds.  It certainly doesn't help that we back Israel.

It is complicated, but here goes.......\n\nBack after WWII, displaced Jews needed a place, and a lot had gone to that area.  To make a long story short, Isreal was divided for the Jews and the Palestineans.  The Jews got the lion's share because other countries felt sorry for them about the Holocaust.  Later, Israel attacked and took more land to create a buffer zone between them (the Gaza Strip).  The leaders signed a treaty in the 1970s on the White House Lawn, but the two peoples of the two lands have not been cooperative in ending the violence.  Israel would be in trouble if not allied with the U.S., and Muslims side with the Palestineans.  The problems never seem to resolve, and show no signs of resolution any time soon.

Wow, bit of a controversial question, right? \n\nFrom what I've heard, most Middle Eastern nations protest the existence of Israel because its creation took away land from the Palestinians who had been living there. Yes, the land was originally given to Israel, but in the minds of Arabics, all that was 3000 years ago or so, and it shouldn't be valid any longer. \n\nPlus, many Palestinians are now living in refugee camps or have fled to other nations, and now those nations are having to help them/feed them, etc. The way the nations see it, if Israel had never been created, the nations wouldn't have this problem.

It is the biggest reason I think, and from there the reasons go down hill.\n\n1)  We support another country so they hate us (Israel is the most common answer).\n\n2)  We don't like to give money away without strings.  They hate strings being attached to money so they resent us for telling them how to spend our money.\n\n3)  They disagree with our values.  Oddly enough they'd hate liberals even more for their open ways, but they view America as morally corrupt.

Do you support Canada's claim to their territory?  When someone comes around with a constructive idea to use land that no one wanted before all of a sudden it is prime real estate.   Supply and demand.   Even if you look past all the legal reasons why Israel is entitled you will see this is all about pride, jealousy and hatred.\nStinky Pinky:\n1. Israel did not invade Palestine, check your history.\n2. Israel gets money from the US for support of the only democracy in the region.We also pay billions to Egypt just so they won't attack israel, how about stoping the money flow there huh?\n3. Arabs opened their doors to the Jews? Where are you getting your history books?  From Ossama? From fairy tale land?

yeah right, like if the european people would had ever accepted the excistense of those very "friendly" neighboors such as the Jews. Israel existed only to fit in Palestine. Israel may had been offered all the american continent, but she wants the middle east, where she can control the 3 devine religions, and unleash its deadly conspiracies around the world. The so called promised land, back to thousands of years when Moises was still leading the jews, is so very pathetic, and the story of statut of Soulayman doesn't convince me.\nIsrael has entered an unfinished war in the region, and only 2 outcomes: the end of arabs and mulims ( highly improbable) , or the perish of Israel ( not too far ).\nSo I advise the american and europeans to reconsider their alliance with israel to avoid more terrorist acts.\nVictory is ours!   Hail Lebanon!
