The Palestinians have a well documented history of using children in combat. See for example:

From your own link:

> At the height of the phenomenon, Avraham Burg, former chairman of the Jewish Agency for Israel, speaker of Israel's Knesset and interim President of Israel, stated his view that, given Israeli indifference to the tortured lives of Palestinian children under occupation, suicide bombings come as no surprise.

... Palestinians have been tortured from birth for decades. Acting surprised when they fight back is either disingenuous or stupid, or both.

Lol, are you even reading your own quoted text?

> "a desire to avenge relatives or friends killed by the Israeli army".

Yeah. If your relatives and friends were killed by an occupying force you might fight back. That's my whole point.

It's as if Palestinian lives are worth so little to you the words don't even reach your cognition...

Besides which, Amnesty International have been very clear and vocal about Israel's genocidal campaign, eg, https://www.amnesty.org.uk/press-releases/israelopt-israel-m...


it says "may", and the social science seems to believe it is far from main reason people join islamist extremist groups –

As long as PA pays pension to terrorist families, UNRWA teachers teach math with "how many jews killed" and Iran and Qatar actively sponsor islamist terror, the society will remain the way it is now.
