Reducing suicidal terrorists to natural responses to occupation feels... somewhat ridiculous. Especially so when you consider how many occupations are currently happening in the world right now without all of them having large numbers of suicidal bombings. More, this completely ignores all other suicidal activities. Cults that lead people to suicide. Bullied people that are driven to suicide. Etc. Seems far more explanatory power can be found if you use indoctrination as the primary driver in such activities. If you manage to indoctrinate people that their life would be best spent by sacrificing it for others, and a valid sacrifice is to strap a bomb to their body, then you will see a rise in that activity.
