The US has had 60 years of unmitigated Israeli propaganda with no, repeat no explanation of the Palestinians. Anything which might, say, document an average Palestinian family and an average Israeli family is treated as anti-Semetic and boycotts threatened.
It's not the fault of your average American. Our knowledge is censored, filtered to the point Palestinians are regarded as somewhat sub-human.
Prior to 2000, the Israelis were killing 25 Palestinians to every Israeli lost. That is the same ratio of US Army calvarymen to Native Americans during the Great Extermination practiced in the US.
These folks have heard only one side, and have no interest in hearing the other. These are the same people who would tell you there are two sides to every story if it were their ox being gored.
There isn't anything you and I can do in the face of self-righteous ignorance. A closed mind is comfortable, secure, and safe. These folks aren't venturing out in your lifetime or mine.
