And please dont assume that i agree with suicide bombing becuase of my response.. i just think that both sides... espescially the Israeli government is partially at fault with respect to this issue. |
Cyrus, your wrong though here. Obviously such things are an element. But these elements do not lead to terrorism. In other parts of the world, civilians die in much more brutual ways, in more quantities, and also from superior forces, yet do not resort to terrorism, and especially not horrific acts like homicide bombers.
What makes the Palestinian suffering worse then that of an East Timorese? Or a African during Aparthite? Or even the families of the very vicitims on the Israeli side of these horrendous attacks?
So yes, the death of comrades does have an element - an element that the culture and brain washing of the Palestinian terror and government groups use to influence the minds of recruits into reoccuring such endevaours. But one would be hard press to link such a result to Israeli action, especially when it comes in retaliation.
