No, those are not structural reasons. Neither are the structual reasons political, at least at first. They become so when offered as political tools. The structural reasons are the serious inequities, the occupation of the West Bank, etc. Inequities per se do not become "structural reasons for despair", they just create resentment. They lead to suicide and murder when offered as political tools, as you say. In fact, I think it's a mistake to keep talking about the "despair" of suicide bombers, since they are motivated by hope for victory, not despair. If this girl had been sure that her death was going to be useless, would she have killed herself?
