Zacarias Moussaoui said U.S. support for Israel is one of the main reasons he hates the United States. Speaking late last week at his sentencing trial for conspiring with Al-Qaida in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, Moussaoui said “the Jewish state of Palestine is a missing star in the American flag. You are the head of the snake for me. If I want to destroy the Jewish state of Palestine, I have to destroy you.”
