They are young. They know what it is like to live under a brutal occupation.
Oh cut the cr*p... Young children only know what they are taught by their parents and other adults (like their teachers and religious leaders)...
Kids do what they believe will gain them respect and adulation within the eyes of their parents, their peers, and/or their mentors (teachers, local youth leaders.. etc).
Someone is teaching them that blowing up their young lives is a good thing" that they will be rewarded for..
The reality is that the Palestinian militants treat their children as soldiers in the making. They indoctrinate them in militant and racist teaching.
Take a look for yourself:

In the poem "Palestine" the children are taught to wage Jihad (Holy War) against Israel:
"My brothers! The oppressors [Israel -ed.] have overstepped the boundary. Therefore Jihad and sacrifice are a duty.... are we to let them steal its Arab nature... Draw your sword... let us gather for war with red blood and blazing fire...Death shall call and the sword shall be crazed from much slaughter... Oh Palestine, the youth will redeem your land..."
[Reader and Literary Texts for Eighth Grade #578, p. 120-122
And this:
"What, in your view, is the way to liberate Jerusalem, bearing in mind its liberation by the Muslims in the time of Saladin
[Reader and Literary Texts for Eighth Grade #578, p.102]
"Bayonets and Torches
'...In you left hand you carried the Koran,
And in your right an Arab sword...
Without blood not even one centimeter will be liberated
Therefore, go forward crying: 'Allah is great.'"
[Ibid. #578, p. 131-133]
Now I don't know about your education, but I certainly never received a lesson in any grade school that taught me a particular race of people were evil.
And I certainly was not indoctrinated into becoming a soldier or waging a crusade..
And this is what is so disgusting about this so-called creation of a Palestinian state. It will be populated by young adults who have been indoctrinated to hate Jews regardless of whether or not they eventually have a peace treaty with them.
There will always be that racist militancy hanging over their society.
