What reasons? You can't reason with people who want to kill and create terrorists out of their own citizens. They have the internet so they could at least educate themselves on how history and terrorism work, how they could live fine as is, without resorting to violence. How they will not live fine if they practice terrorism.

Propose a better way to deal with terrorism, or just accept the reality.

Well that's quite literally not true. People in Gaza can not "live fine as is" because they are cut off from the whole world, relying on an enemy nation to allow humanitarian aid to be delivered. People in the Westbank aren't allowed to use their own land because Israel is keeping it occupied and keeps building settlements.

This is true, but kinda unrelated to what I said. I said there are reasons people become terrorists. Whether or not you can still reason with them after that point of radicalization is not what I was arguing.

Propose a better way to deal with terrorism, or just accept the reality.

"Either solve an unsolvable problem, or accept that bombing civilians is an acceptable solution" isn't really an argument, it can be turned around to justify the terror the Hamas is spreading: "Propose a better way to deal with the occupation of our land and the killing of our people, or just accept the reality". It's just an absurd.

Well guess what doing terrorism will bring them? Certainly not getting new connections in the world. If they wanted to do anything positive, they wouldn't build rockets in the first place.

I said there are reasons people become terrorists. Whether or not you can still reason with them after that point of radicalization is not what I was arguing.

The reason being: hamas propaganda. You can't justify those reasons. They need to be rectified properly. Israel existence is not one of those reasons.

"Propose a better way to deal with the occupation of our land and the killing of our people, or just accept the reality".

Accept all the help from the world you can get, and do the rest yourself. Build infrastructure, hospitals, universities etc., not rockets. Just stop being terrorists and making more terrorists.
