Happy, fed, employed people do not become terrorists. They have too much to lose.

That is certainly not true. Exhibit A: Osama bin Laden’s father was literally a multi-billionaire and he himself inherited $30-50 million.
He's not "people", he's a "human". One human could be significantly off from the expected behavior; many people are less so.

You think Osama was happy? The man was clearly very, very angry about something, and I doubt it was inheriting a bunch of money.
Too bad gaza has no land or economy to feed and employ themselves.
they've tried. I saw this youtube video awhile back about a man from gaza who built an inland fish farm to raise food to feed people because the fishermen were forbidden by isreal fro boing to the areas where the fish were.

Doesn't mean they can't build it.
Building land is quite difficult. Building an economy is almost impossible when under a blockade, and Israel has no reason to end it.

Not if they have more to gain in 'heaven'. Remember, Hamas are religious fanatics.
They have to be religious fanatics because that’s all they have to cling to. If I’m going to fight a losing battle against a grossly superior enemy I also want to believe that I’ll end up in paradise for it.
You might note that that brand of fanaticism goes down rapidly in countries that have high standards of living.
and the IDF is not? There's a lot of videos showing the IDF dancing holding up Torah scroll in destroyed hospitals or buildings.
hamas != palestine
