We do not imagine that there is no fodder in reality for their delusions, of course, like the erosion of family farming, but we also know that most of what they think is primitive nonsense, a relic of personalizing social change, rather than understand the impersonal social and economic forces at play, and pretending that armed resistance against conspirators offers hope. In like manner, Middle Eastern terrorists largely exist in within the bonds of their own demented universe, where it makes sense to encourage children to blow themselves up, as long as they take enough Jews with them, rather than to make constructive steps to build the future.
