I don't think that Israel "planted the seeds of hatred" against itself in the Arab World, Tareq, that hatred was manifested by the Arab groups who tried to run the Jews into the sea in 1947 and has run virtually unabated, in word and deed ever since. Leaders in Egypt and Jordan have tried, courageously, to overcome the hatred, mistrust, and possibly insurmountable obstacles that stand in the way of peace, even at the cost of their own lives.
I don't condone the current Israeli conduct, which seems destined to lead to a "final solution" in the area by leading to real war with devastating consequences and significant human casualties. However, I suspect that the people who have sewn the most hatred in recent years are the renegade Islamic "clerics" who encourage young people to become suicide bombers, to enlist in the various groups that other posters might describe as "terrorist."
I also believe that many Islamic governments have assisted in maintaining the climate of hatred by their abject failure to assimilate, relocate, or welcome the displaced Palestinians. It appears that they are more than content to let the Palestinians suffer in place and utilize the dispair and suffering as a catalyst to hatred of Israel that diverts attention from the ineptitude of those states to institute reforms, advance economically and socially, or to render true aid to those they claim are their "brothers."
