There's a solid case to be made that enduring support given to the zionists is the primary cause of disdain towards the US prior to this bush administration. Even Bin Laden has gone on the record saying that US support for Israel was his original motivation (although I suspect it was also partly due to feeling betrayed by the country that, after pledging undying support during the afghan campaign prompty told him to piss up a rope regarding Kasmir. He didn't seem to have a problem with US tanks in the Holy Land until that point, to my recollection.)
