I believe that young people are often disillusioned (its part of growing up). That disillusionment often leads to acting out against parents and society. Its usually short-lived as the individual gains maturity and finds more constructive ways to promote change.

I think if you can put the shoe on the other foot and imagine that another country was stealing your resources, starving your people and robbing them of opportunity, you would likely be attracted to those who were attempting to stop the aggression and destruction.

Its a no brainer.

Imagine if Israel decided to help fund education and technical advances in the neighboring countries. What if they helped them to become strong and independent nations? Would young Muslim men want to destroy their chances for successful lives? I think not.

At this point, Hezbollah provides hope for poverty stricken people ane people blame Israel and the U.S. for that poverty.

What does Israel do to help? Israel and the U.S. are so busy helping themselves they have no time to help others.
