murdering robots without ever asking the question "why?"
This film's director has a bit more intellectual curiosity than you and, with great honesty, he explores the human soul.
Yes, the would-be bombers are portrayed as "thoughtful," i.e. they consider the actions they are about to take very carefully.
You may well wonder why they are "desperate." Even serial killers have motives, though to equate these men with that class of criminal is naive. In ancient times, conquerors such as Alexander, Tamerlane, Caesar, and Genghis Khan made a practice of slaughtering all the civilians of conquered cities as a lesson to those that would oppose them. Palestinians hardly are conquerors in seeking the return of lands taken from them by force. You'd prefer them to... meet the Israelis in open fields of battle? Somehow, I don't remember Menachen Begin using this tactic when he bombed a hospital full of wounded and dying.
