You are right. Howevr, there is he matter of perception. Israel is percieved as a pro American "democratic" state wich is sorrounded by people wishing to destroy it. Israel also plays on the "genocide" issue and lastly, there are numerous jews in prominent positions in the US government and industry.

The Arabs are percieved as nuveau riche, hedonistic, money grabbing and antiIsrael.

It will take many many years to change these perceptions.
