the United States and what it stands for. Of course, while it is unfair to say that all Muslims are responsible for the death and destruction that occurred on that
fateful day, certainly one can say that there had been bad feelings between the United States and the Muslim World for quite some time. Why? In general, the problems in
the Middle East between the Palestinians and the Israelis have become a problem of the United States to some extent. At least, there have been many historic meetings in the
White House and many U.S. presidents have gotten involved in the issues. However, the recognition of Israel as a legitimate state is really part of the cause of those bad
feelings. After all, it appears that for some time, the land in question did not belong to those who are now called Israelis. In respect to the origin
of Israel, the British did originally want to partition the land, but that was not acceptable to the Arabs. It was, all along, the Arabs and not the Jews who
would not compromise. Again, Britain is involved as these territories were controlled by the European power. Thus, the peoples involved in both matters--the Israelites and the Pakistanis--had to deal with
British authority. Certainly, there might be some camaraderie in the fact that in the formation of both states, there was a win against a great power and the same great
power, the United Kingdom. Also in respect to Israel, at first, while Britain wanted to effect peace, they went on to take the side of the Arabs and restricted
Jews from coming into the region. Soon, Nazi Germany would become a reality, and it was then that the world recognized that Jews did need a place of their own.
