Victor Davis Hanson: The Israel (and American) Enigma

Surely most rational people, at least on the right side of the isle, have wondered why Israel is always portrayed as the bad guy in a war against terrorists. For that matter, why is the United States generally portrayed (by the MSM) as a world-class meanie?

The answer for both countries is fairly similar and Victor Davis Hanson explains it brilliantly and succinctly. I'll not steal his thunder by reprinting the money quotes, so hit his link and see why we're so hated, (we, being the United States and Israel) even by many of our own.
