If the United States did not support Israel in the slightest degree would that stop:
The Islamic terrorists in the Phillipines? or
The Islamic terrorists in Thailand? or
The Islamic terrorists in India?

One day around the late 1960s, there was a seriously damaged quantity of <font color="brown">
falafel </font> which contained a virus. Millions of muslims ate the falafel and were affected for life. The poison worked its way around the muslim world - see, for no apparent reason, that virus was only affecting muslims. What the rotten falafel did was it caused muslims and especially Arabs to hate the United States' guts.
Until, as we all know, around the early 2000s, when the muslims became REALLY poisoned by the falafel vitus, and started blowing themselves up - in crowded places and airplanes.
The craziness of the muslims, and specially the Arabs, is only because of that mysterious poison in the damn falafel. It's got NOTHING to do with Israel -which minds its own business for the last sixty years- or the United States -which keeps its nose out of the Middle East and has always been a fair and neutral party to any conflicts there.
