Why terrorism instead of chocolates?

The continuing plague of terror attacks around the world seems to have reached another peak of moral indignation and political bewilderment with the arrest of eight doctors and medical workers suspected of being involved in last week's attempted attacks in the United Kingdom. This does not make it any easier to try to understand what motivates otherwise ordinary people to become terrorists; but it does make it more urgent to pursue such an enquiry fully and honestly, so that the world might better fight terrorism and reduce its menace

1. I"m sorry but i dont see the "bewilderment"

when israel is accused of having "concentration camps" genocide, ethnic cleansing..when suicide bombers are excused...when "mickey mouse" is no more than a propanda tool...when killing civilians is considered a good thing, when mein kamph is sold all over the arab world, when innocent israeli balloons that land in lebanon are defined as being poison, when arab professionals, doctors, journalists, engineers are all forbidden to meet with their israeli collegues..what do you expect?

since day one of their birth they had so much hatred/propaganda/lies/ thrown at them first and foremost about israel and then its "big brother" the western world, it really isnt a surprise that so many of them express it.

what is the surprise is that the arab nations and western societies thought that it wouldnt affect them......that it could be restricted to just israel....
