And yes, someone who blows themself up in a cafe in Tel Aviv is completely insane. There is no rational thinking human on earth who would blow themself up unless they were under extreme mental distress either caused by mental dysfunction or systematic brainwashing.

If you think that rational people blow themselves up to kill other people - then there is no hope for mankind.

Also, Im not jewish.

That is where I believe you are wrong. What do you base this on? Things you have heard on TV? Your first statement is completely false, the destruction of Israel is not the reason these groups exists. They are legitimate resistance groups, who use illegitimate methods, including religion as a recruitment tool and suicide bombing civilian targets. They only exists because of unfair treatment. If you kill everyone who is a member of both groups, and then continue treating people unfairly, other groups will replace them immediately.

I can understand why people blow themselves up in order to do what they believe is defending their homeland and their people. The Japanese did the exact same thing to our naval ships in WWII, don't forget that. They're not subhuman, they are desperate. There's not much different between being a Kamikaze pilot, a Hamas suicide bomber, or being the first man over the line in WWI. They're all suicide missions, and hundreds of people lined up in each case. Terrorism is simply a military tactic, it's not what we're fighting against.
