True, although I personally find it hard to believe that someone from Saudi Arabia was willing to commit suicide over the oppression of someone in Palestine. Especially considering no Arab country is willing to assimilate the Palestinian refugees.
BUT, you are correct in the hate by association over our support for Israel.
I know for me, personally, if the country I live in wasn't a superpower but was subject to the will of a superpower, and that other country launched missiles and dropped bombs on "terrorist targets" but accidentally hit the hospital where my wife worked or the school where my children were....strapping some c-4 to my chest and running into a crowded building in the country that killed my family is something I would probably consider.
If some superpower came and gave me and my countrymen weapons and training so that we could fight against our common enemy (the Soviets) but then abandoned us to starve after we'd done their dirty work, and stood idly by while the oppressive Taliban initiated a coup in my country, but put troops in my holy land to fight against another oppressive dictator, and did it this way because the latter country has oil and the former country doesn't...well I might just spend a decade planning ways to get even.
