These attacks have nothing to do with Israel.
And nothing to do with the west being intolerant. If anything, the west is too tolerant of everything and its confusing to them. Is the ideology they're turning t tolerant or rigid and doctrinaire?
The idea that these guys give two hoots about Palestinians is risible. They've sent whole cities of arabs into refugee camps.they've burned Jordanians (who are probably the only Arab country that significantly helps Palestinians) alive in cages. 
And if these attacks are being carried out by immigrants, second generation immigrants, refugees, returnees, or infiltrators and/or converts how does weaning from middle east oil help?  [/quote]

You are missing the point. Several points actually. You have no way of knowing the opinions of these individuals regarding Palestinians. We do know that in the past, grievances about Palestine have been clearly cited as a justification for attacks. More importantly, the completely pro-Israel stance of the US is only one factor that contributes to the alienation of Muslims here. It may not be significant to some and it may be very significant to others. It is one factor in a long list of factors.

Weaning ourselves from Mideast oil would reduce the need for us to turn a blind eye to the oppressive regimes who we currently support. Why would you oppose such a effort?
