"Why do Palestinians hate us?"

[Rexmons]

The Palestinians are Arabs and never had a problem sharing the land with the Jewish people until the U.N. stepped in and took it from the Arab Palestinians. This article has a very good breakdown of the events that unfolded. Also, since the U.S. is one of the 5 permanent members of the U.N. security councel they've been pretty busy is Israeli agenda.

I used Arab and Palestinian to differentiate between the people that belong there and the ones that are just making trouble.
But since you Claim Palestinians are Arabs, no, they are not all Arabs.

According to Salim Tamari, 'nativist' ethnographies produced by Tawfiq Canaan and other Palestinian writers and published in The Journal of the Palestine Oriental Society (1920-1948), were driven by the concern that the "native culture of Palestine", and in particular peasant society, was being undermined by the forces of modernity. Tamari continues: "Implicit in their scholarship (and made explicit by Canaan himself) was another theme, namely that the peasants of Palestine represent - through their folk norms ... the living heritage of all the accumulated ancient cultures that had appeared in Palestine (principally the Canaanite, Philistine, Hebraic, Nabatean, Syrio-Aramaic and Arab)."
