Palestinian babies are born on the wrong side of a wall put there by Israeli authorities. They grow up knowing nothing but restriction of their rights for the sole crime of being born. Several human rights organizations have described Gaza and the West Bank as an open air prison.

Ironically, you spamming copy/paste comments is actually really telling of your own laziness, lol

Notice how you try to excuse the building of the wall instead of deny that those babies are born in a prison. Now THAT'S telling.

Unfortunately, this is only a partial answer. Antisemitic violence in the region predates Israel's establishment by decades, and would still exist even if Israel did not. Assuming that fundamentalist Palestinian militancy is merely/solely a result of their territorial losses on the battlefield in the past, and/or only a function of Israeli policy since the 1960s, is historically disingenuous to the extreme. It severely detracts from the agency of Palestinian fundamentalist militants, reducing them to a one-dimensional, reactionary force, and ignores the much greater complexity and maximalist aims of their driving ideology.

I mean, there was a secular non-religous Palestinian armed group. It was actually led by a Palestinian Christian.
