I think he did point them out -- the cousins who had fought and died for Hamas. The "structural reasons" were political in this case, since the girl's own life was far from desperate in any mundane sense of the word.

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.

I thought it was excellent that he highlighted the security guard's noble self-sacrifice.

Yes, I agree.
