1. What questions do you have about the reading? How might they be answered? My question is why are we paying so much money on Palestinian military aids when we have so many people in our country that need help? You might find the answer to this question on http://www.meforum.org/63/debate-continue-us-aid-to-israel
2. What U.S. policies do most Muslims hate and why? If you need more information, how might you find it? Most Muslims hate the United States foreign policy. You might find more information on http://www.cato.org/pub_display.php?pub_id=9568
3. Why might acknowledging that U.S. policies have anything to do with jihadist attacks be seen as “politically incorrect” and “blaming the victim”? Acknowledging that U.S. policies have anything to do with jihadist attacks might be seen as “politically incorrect” and “blaming the victim” because we are the victim in the situation but we don’t like to blame anything on ourselves. Even if it may be our fault.
4. Despite a year of effort by Obama’s special envoy George Mitchell to move the Israelis and Palestinians toward a negotiated two-state solution, there’s been no visible progress. Why not? If you need more information, how might you find it? There has been no visible progress from the idea of this two state solution because the Palestinian’s and Israeli’s have really never been on each other’s side and now Obama is basically trying to make a shortcut to peace. Trying to rush it isn’t going to work. It needs to be done over time, and both places need to be involved.

5. How and why are the people of Gaza suffering? If you need more information, how might you find it? The people of Gaza are suffering because they are in a war with Israel and there is a blockade on Gaza. Which means that neither goods or people can get in or out.
