Desperate people don't do that. Evil people do that.

If someone keeps you under occupation for five decades and don't plan to
leave you do not give a **** about "fair play". You do everything what you
think it's necessary to kick ocupators out.

They are just using Irish methods.

Really? How many times has the IRA strapped a bomb to Little Billy and
sent him into a British checkpoint?

And civilians of both side suffer because of Palestinian and Israeli state
terror....

But the Palestinians are the side that has, continually, screwed it up
by breaking cease-fires, and destroying the peace process.

Actually, a lot of the bombers are more or less middle class, and not
particularly poor.

They lost their freedom, their country is occupied, most of them are living
in refuge camps in pore condition, Israelis are taking their land,
bulldozing their houses...
What more do they need to lose ?

They stand to lose most of what they were asking for.

Blame the idiots who keep getting in the way of their cease-fires by
blowing up Israelis. The last cease-fire was leading to a workable
solution (the Palestinians were getting pretty much everything they
wanted until the bombs started going off).

"As for the bombers themselves, Krueger says terrorist literature
indicates they are more likely to come from the ranks of middle-class
college students."

You need to reassess your opinions on this one.

So you won't to say that for middle-class Palestinians their country is not
occupied and they are not living under Israeli repression?

I *will* say that they could have had the occupation ended several times
over hte last couple of decades if they agreed to not murder Israelis.

You will have to read F. William Engdahl "A Century of War" to understant
something...

You will have to read the Hamas main Web site before you'll understand
*anything*.

If the Palestinians want peace and their own country, the first thing
they need to do is isolate the assholes.
