Israel's poor treatment of its occupied territories also gives the Osamas of this world a great story to recruit suicide bombers with.
Now you are right they ain't going to stop trying to recruit if Israel changes its treatment of the Gaza and West Bank but it will help, not fix but help.

Or they could then focus on one of the many many other reasons they have to attack the west. Many European nations have been strong critics of Israel, but that hasn't stopped them from feeling their rath.
Also we're talking about Pakistan here, and religious conflict has been going on there for decades. Although the western media is obsessed with Israel, Asian media doesn't give an f, and I doubt many of these attackers would be able to point Israel out on a map. The very founding of Pakistan was based on religious lines. To argue that Israel is motivating this is absurd.
You might have a point of we were talking about an attack in a western nation. To link Indian continent religious strife to the existence of Israel is bizarre.
