However, Robert Pape appears to be saying that resentment of foreign occupation of muslim and arab lands, rather than islamic fanaticism, drives the suicide bombers.

Unfortunately, that "occupation" appears to include the entire nation of Israel. A nation of Jews. The sucide bombers seem to hate Jews.

That's one flaw in Pape's theory. What's an entire country supposed to do, just give up and become a diaspora?
