Which she said was an awful thing to think, expressing the awful conditions the palestinians are living under which drives them to do such things.
Remember, alot of these bombers aren't doing it because they think they'll go to heaven, they're doing it because they are personally at war with the state of israel which has invaded their country and treats them as second class citizens. Israel is very good at letting the line between Israeli and Jew get muddled, how many times have you heard an Israeli spokes person being interviewed say that to be anti-Israel is to be anti-jew?
Most of the arab nations have to hatred of jews (they're brothers), it's the state of israel that they have the problem with.
Tonge was trying to get this across, that the situation is so bad, that a few people feel that the only thing they can do is blow up innocent people.
Now think, how bad would things have to be to make you feel like that? Don't say you'd never do it, answer the question, how bad would things have to be?
Would the constant humiliation at security checks, the unrepentant killing of innocent children (perhaps even your family members) by the goverment, the destruction of family homes, the constant invasion of your homeland, the total loss of human rights, the restrictions on what jobs you can do and how much you can earn, the restrictions on whether you can visit your family or not, how much of that and more happening to you yourself could you turn a blind eye to before you finally crack and decide something needs to be done?
