Yes there have always been issues with Israel, ever since it was formed, and we share blame in that.
But to think that the problems in the Middle East are what gave rise to the global Islamic extremism is incorrect.
The potted history, You can trace the current issues back to the Russian Invasion of Afghanistan, where the USA practically funded an army put together by Bin Laden to fight the Russians.
After the Russians left, the USA pulled the plug. Then when Iraq invaded Kuwait Bin Laden wanted to fight the Iraqis as he thought that his Islamic army should deal the issue in their own back yard.
When Kuwait decided to put US, UK and other Western troops on the ground Bin Laden decided to wage a Jihad on the West.
The thing is, as is currently being played out in Syria/ Iraq, History dictates that Muslims are quite happy to wipe each other out. The trick is to get them to continue fighting each other and not bother with us.
