These are desperate people, who have seen countless friends and family members murdered, and seen their people oppressed.
Education is low and misinformation is probably rife, the population is young and angry. It would be hard to design a better breeding ground for terrorists. If any of us were born there we would likely be exactly the same.


The Israeli line of "if they didn't launch rockets we wouldn't have to do air strikes" is really flawed.
It doesn't consider the oppression of people in Gaza in the first place.
yet the people of the West Bank aren't oppressed, or facing such an onslaught. Hamas are the problem, and the Gazans continually support them.
