Where did things go wrong between the United States and the Middle East?

I know that I can research this on Wikipedia, but I'm more interested in hearing people's responses - not dribble from an encyclopedia.

Did things decay diplomatically in the 1970s with the oil embargo?

Or did it stretch back to when the US helped Israel?

Update:

Please feel free to share your opinion along with - or instead of historical information.

    Or did it stretch back to when the US helped Israel? < this is correct as to when it happened. If the USA didn't help Israel, we would be in good shape with the Arab countries. Our oil would probably be cheaper, and we would still be driving cars that got 12 miles per gallon on average. The Arab/oil producing countries would be much easier to control if we didn't support Israel.

    I'm not saying we should abandon Israel though.

    That assessment is a quantum leap! Illegals are BREAKING OUR FEDERAL regulations; Jews weren't breaking any regulations. a million) Jews had no "fatherland" in the process the Nazi reign of terror. (unlawful Mexicans DO have a rustic). 2) Jews now have their fatherland lower back, a minimum of partly and the U. S. needs to supply up pressuring them to cede greater of their rightful land. 3) Jews have been a persecuted human beings longer than the human beings so i will understand why some could sense this way. yet lower back, the state of Israel did no longer exist then, and the Jews did no longer destroy regulations; the ILLEGALS are purely THAT, unlawful. Thirdly, have been Jews born in Israel surveyed? Or Jews who're no longer "westernized"? finally, we are no longer persecuting every physique; we are purely attempting to uphold the regulations of the land and save our united states. every physique who has a difficulty with this would nicely be a traitor to this united states IMO. additionally, there has been an incredible regathering of Jews to Israel, granted maximum from jap Europe and now many from Ethopia. This Nazi assessment is such hype and not something greater suitable than a scare tactic. considering while is imposing our regulations an act of persecution or terror?! Illegals cut back our favourite of residing and usually wreak havoc on our economic device ie; well-being care, public colleges. Jews raised our favourite of residing and lower back, are felony! i'm so ill of this assessment. Has no substance in besides. What different united states could take a seat idly via and allow their united states to become desolate by way of fact of unlawful extraterrestrial beings? they decide to be right here, do it LEGALLY. that may no longer too plenty to invite. Yeesh!
