Which leads us to the question - does the US have rights educating and shaping the minds of other people? or does it only hold the obligation to protect thier people with brutal force once some of those people (shaped in the opposite direction) become a threat?

All countries act in their own best interst first. thats a simple fact. Isreal acts in its own interest when gunning down "suspected militants" or bombing Palestinian TV and radio stations. Arabs and Muslims act in their own interest by supporting Hamas and others and running around the street with dead bodies held in the air and firing automatic rifles and whipping people into a frenzy.
It's all subjective.
I dont believe that people hate america for its double standards because NO country is different in that respect. Every country acts in its own selfish interests while trying to convince others that they are actually acting to the benefit of all. Thats nothing new and its not unique to any country.
What i believe to be the real underlying issue and what is unique is the USA's disproportionate ability to influence others.
But its behavior is not unique. The US does whats in its own best interest which is usually not in the best interests of others. Which includes i might add, defending Isreal and their unpopular behavior towards Palestinians and preventing Isreals neighbors from trying to wipe Isreal off the face of the earth.
The older i get, the more i believe that there is no right and wrong in the world. Just those who are willing to act and those who aren't. "Why" does not really matter and is not worth debating.
"Why" is purely subjective and is never black and white.
All you can do is to do what you believe in.
