What kind of history did you learn? USA started to support Israel during the 60's.
I mean you are both right. The Arabs did want to not get involved in the Cold War except to get money from both sides. However America supported Israel from the start Henry Truman was literally the first person to recognize Israel a few minutes after its founding.
Exactly. And how did Egypt thank for that?

Israel was also approached by Soviets too in its early days (see: Czechoslovakian weapon imports in 1949), but in the end it was stuck with the west, and so the alliances ended up as they did.
Exactly. And how did Egypt thank for that?
By... siding with Soviets. Because Egypt was more more interested in fighting with Brits than with Soviets. Obviously that couldn't be accepted in Cold War.
So there you have it, why USA eventually allied with Israel instead of staying neutral - Egypt paid for the aid with betrayal.

The idea was that if USA helps the Brit colonies gain independence relatively peacefully they will be grateful and side with the west against Soviets, instead of Soviets launching revolutions and helping them overthrow the colonial powers and gaining independence as commie Soviet allies.
Osama did not attack USA over Israel support alone, he had a whole list of reasons, he was an Islamist, not Arab Nationalist.

WTF do Bosnia and Somalia have to do with Israel?
USA could not destroy Afghanistan, read up what a shithole it was before 2001, there wasn't much to destroy even if they wanted to. It was run by exactly the same islamists that regained power now. Just like Iraq, it was fucked up because Bush and his advisors were not very smart, but smart enough to make money on the side. In Iraq this combined with Saddam also not being very smart, so between his Kuwait blunder and scare tactics against Iran (in which he in fact was useful in current perspective) being good enough to fool Bush too.
We kicked ass militarily every damn conflict we have been in.The idea was that if USA helps the Brit colonies gain independence relatively peacefully they will be grateful and side with the west against Soviets, instead of Soviets launching revolutions and helping them overthrow the colonial powers and gaining independence as commie Soviet allies.
Egypt is just one of examples how that didn't work exactly as intended.

In Afghanistan Bush at first realized the problem (aka Pakistan) and threatened them, but Pakistan outsmarted him and started to roleplay as ally to America, which American politicians either fell for, got bribed to, or couldn't PR their way out of, either way they refused to call Pakistan's bullshit no matter what, even when it turned out Pakistan is sheltering Osama himself. In practice Afghan Taliban doesn't exist without Pakistani military intelligence, but no one wants to touch that because Pakistan is a nuclear power with many islamic terrorist friends.

Yes, in the end this was a dumb plan that didn't work, and so there is a good chance it was pushed by the commie sympathisers in US administration.
Stop making your own theories about what Osama wanted or cared about and instead read his own damn manifesto.

Osama cared, as evidenced by him listing that alongside his other grievances.
Not USA, islamists.
Saddam had nothing to do. Taliban were openly sheltering Osama, and when Americans intervened to get him, Taliban's managers in Pakistan sheltered him instead, so they had a lot to do with him.
Pure speculation.
India is not supporting Israel and is hated by them too. Soviets were supporting Arabs against Israel but they were hated too.
Which is basically just support for continued conflict in the region, because Palestine will never accept any solution that doesn't involved the death of every Jew.
Poland acknowledged Palestine exists and is an independent nation
He's not really wrong though considering who's in charge of Palestinian territory.
