That people like the young American tourist do not see is Israel and America's war against mostly Muslim populations. America wants the oil, Israel wants the land. But they can't have it without waging war against the Muslims who are there. The fundamentalist Muslims who are being attacked by Israel and America end up believing that these wars are religious wars, so they turn to violence, just like any other right-wing fundamentalist from other societies does. The media propaganda in America and Israel then loudly cries out about the Muslim fundamentalists, because they need to justify their wars against the Muslims who own the land and the oil. The whole thing is very complex.
