Laurent, Having tended toward sympathy for the Palestinians most of my life, based on the limited news and information I received growing up in Los Angeles, far away from the conflict. I always believed in Israel's right of existence as a country but think I had the typical American reaction of sympathy for the underdog. My perceptions of the entire situation have turned 360 degrees in recent months. Sometimes one awakens to clarity regarding right and wrong despite years of propaganda.
Nevertheless, I am really dismayed that you would have such views of the US, views based on stereotypes, Hollywood fiction and other motivations which have also been propagated and repeated enough times where people start to believe them as true. I could provide you with information which would refute many of the false or unfactual accusations against the US but it would take up too much bandwidth. I don't know what your experiences were like in the U.S. but they are not the experience of most Americans. Kakki
