Why this need to demonise anyone who is opposing you? The Palestineans have a very genuine reson to dislike USA, the major supporter of Israel, who has humiliated them endlessly in numerous ways (regardless of the reasons).
When they see the symbols of the might of the America thrumbling down, it is quite natural that their first reaction is joy over the humiliation of their enemy. Undoubtedly there were also those extremeists who are always shouting "death to Americans" cheering, but why would your view about *them* change because of that? But 'cheering' = 'joy of innocent civilians dying' is an unpleasant simplification aimed to build up another nasty simplification: 'They don't like us' = 'They're evil'...No, they are evil because they support homicide bombers and support other evil doers like al Qaeda.
