Answer 1

No its because they're jewish.

Answer 2

Yes. Correct, people do not hate Israel for "destroying the peace" with oil-rich Muslim countries and for inflating oil prices. This is because most people are aware that Israel is not actually the cause of the problems cited or because people are aware that those problems do not actually exist.

First, there was no peace in the Middle East before Israel. The Saudi Wars existed in the 1920s. There was the Iranian Revolution of 1925 which saw the Pahlavi come to power. There were the Circassian and Armenian genocides of the late 1800s and 1910s respectively. There were several pogroms of Jews in the Ottoman Levant in the 1800s and early 1900s. Additionally, since Israel's independence, the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict is responsible for less than 5% of Middle Eastern War deaths. Far more brutal have been the three Persian Gulf Wars, the Lebanese Civil War, Black September in Jordan, the three Yemeni Civil Wars, and the Anfal Campaign (Kurdish Genocide) in Iraq.

Second, as to gas prices. the regular American is paying more for gas due to the War in Iraq and the decisions of OPEC concerning how much petroleum to produce. There is also pressure from India and China who are increasing consumption and driving up the price.
