Does the U.S. really have a place in violence that began 3,000 years before the founding of the U.S.?

How many people in the U.S. really understand this dispute? What percentage of the citizens of the U.S. can even find Israel on a map of the world? It seems the percentage is low.

I have sometimes seen arrogance in my Jewish friends and found it annoying. However, I don't become mentally imbalanced when my Jewish friends act superior to me. I don't become imbalanced because there are many differences between healthy people like myself and the terrorists. I am less conflicted. I am better educated. It doesn't matter to me what other people have been saying for thousands of years; I don't believe Jews actually are superior. I don't live in an area where I am at risk of being killed by Israelis. I am not Arab, so I am not the target of the strongest claims of Jews that they are superior.

Note that I have not said that every Jew is arrogant. That is not the case. However, it does appear to me that the ancient books of the Jews encourage a superior attitude, and it is my opinion that this general attitude is objectionable to the surrounding people. I first recognized that a feeling of superiority is a problem in the Jewish culture after listening to Jewish friends complain about other Jews.

I can also understand why Jews would find Arabs annoying. There is an element of the Arab culture that allows Arabs to think that lies are sometimes acceptable. My Arab friends have sometimes lied to me about trivial issues. To someone who values careful thought, lies are extremely repugnant.

Note also that I have not said that every Arab lies. That is not the case.

Should the U.S. be giving Israel money when that is seen as the U.S. choosing to enter a 3,200-year-old conflict? The U.S. government gives billions of dollars every year to Israel. If anything, this money seems to have made Israel weaker. The Israelis have spent money they didn't earn; this is always a corrupting influence; the Israelis have had problems with inflation.

It cannot truthfully be said that the people of the U.S. give the money; most have no idea that money is going to Israel. So, the people pay the money, but the government gives it away. Rightly or wrongly, sensibly or crazily, the Arabs see this money as encouragement of Israel's violence toward them.

On this particular issue of disagreement between themselves, both the Jewish and Arab cultures are crazy! They've been killing each other since the time of the Pharaohs! What does this have to do with the United States? Is the U.S. like an angry person who walks into bars and takes part in any fight that is happening there?
