East Tennessee General says the creation of Israel by U.S. is cause of terrorism

U.S. Army General Carl Stiner (ret), who lives in Knoxville, was interviewed on radio and television personality Hallerin Hilton Hill's "Anything's Possible" show.

I saw part of the interview. It was fascinating. General Stiner appears to have significant knowledge of Middle Eastern affairs.

In the interview (which was spread across the previous two Sundays) General Stiner stated what everyone already knows - that the U.S.'s support of Israel is the reason that the Arabs want to kill us.

I found a link where Gen. Stiner gave a speech before a graduation class. Here's an excerpt from what the General said:

In 1947 the French controlled Lebanon and the British controlled Palestine. In 1948 the United Nations created an Arab state and an Israel state. The new state of Israel was immediately attacked by Arabs resulting in Israel taking much of the Arab land granted by the United Nations. Fighting continued. 1967, 1973, 1982 all saw significant fighting between Israel and various Arab neighbors. It is the United States policy to support Israel and many in the Arab world hate us for it.

There's something else that General Stiner said in his interview with Hill. He said that there are 1.3 billion Muslims in the world and that within the Muslim population that there is a pool of about 40,000,000 to 50,000,000 Muslims that are willing to be suicide bombers.

so does stiner then go on to state that if the US were to suddenly stop supporting Israel then the Arab world would go all warm and fuzzy?

It's sort of sad to see a military man advocate appeasement.

The Israeli/Palestinian conflict is a convenient scapegoat. It's used to justify or excuse many things not related to it at all.

Not to be simple minded, but there will always be terrorists, the nation of Israel is just a scapegoat.
