One thing that slips under the radar here is that for many, if not nearly all, of the young people and immature older people, it's not at all about the cause. It's about being the center of attention and rebelling. It's about them looking at the world around them and identifying the most outrageous things they can find to protest in support of. If questioned, the protesters mostly can't cite facts about what they are protesting. The cause does not matter as long as it gets them attention and upsets their parents and everyone they see as having authority. It's about sticking it to "The Man," same as it was in all past generations.
Both political parties wrongly encourage it for votes, the lifeblood of politics. The media does the same. The most dangerous part of it is that they become targets for true sociopaths looking for power, and they use them. People lacking critical thinking skills are easy to control.
It's not at all surprising that the terrorists take advantage of this. Hamas is as evil as any group like it that has ever existed. They don't even hide what their goals are: The destruction of Israel and the Jews, followed by the destruction of the US and the Western World, followed by forcing all people remaining to join them or die. They have made their plans very clear and have never hidden that. No doubt they laugh their butts off talking about how stupid and easy to control our children and young adults are and how bad our schools and parents have become. Sigh...
