Have you thought about why young Palestinians have a different opinion from older ones? The opinion of powerless people is not set in stone, but is often a reaction to things outside of their control.

Direct experience? Learning from their parents? Typical young person reaction to perceived injustice? Dangerous to have a differing opinion?

They have internet, but unfortunately it's not a force for moderation.

Older ones used to be able to work in Israel as migrant workers.

After the 2nd Intifada and Hamas's takeover of Gaza, Israel cracked down on Palestinian migrant workers and began importing labor from Thailand, Nepal, and other countries.
