Ummm, the Klan and Jim Crow suggest the answer is yes, and for roughly 100 years. Don't have to terrorize the government to terrorize a portion of its citizenry.

Did we raise a generation of Confederate terrorists after the Civil War?

Name one war in history that created people who continued fighting old battles after a war was over.

WWI to WWII comes to mind. The treaty of versailles created an environment where a people could be convinced to do it again. Figured you were familiar with the repeat war.

brooklyn13, My feeling that Israel's over-reactive genocidal acts war will produce more
anti-Israel/American terrorists is born out by the history of the region. Iraq did.

So why are you so sure Israel is raising a generation of Hamas terrorists?

To your - "When we nuked Japan did that raise a generation of kamikaze pilots that attacked American interests?"

Much different circumstance. Different theater.

In support of my positions:

Gaza war may stoke ‘generational’ terrorism threat, top intel official says

Senior U.S. intelligence officials testified before Congress about two wars, a
rising China and the threat of artificial intelligence to U.S. national security

March 11, 2024
[...]
The top U.S. intelligence official on Monday warned that the war in Gaza could embolden terrorist groups, which are aligned in their opposition to the United States for its support of Israel.

“The crisis has galvanized violence by a range of actors around the world. And while it is too early to tell, it is likely that the Gaza conflict will have a generational impact on terrorism,” Avril Haines, the director of national intelligence, told an annual hearing on global security
[...]
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), a stalwart backer of Israel, prodded Burns and Haines to refute critics’ allegations that Israel is “exterminating the Palestinian people” with its military campaign.

The officials declined to do so. Burns said that while the administration understands “Israel’s need” to respond to the brutal attack it suffered on Oct. 7, “I think we all also have to be mindful of the enormous toll that this has taken on innocent civilians in Gaza.”

“Is Israel starving children in Palestine, or Gaza?” Cotton asked, apparently referring to reports by the United Nations and humanitarian aid organizations, as well as some Democratic lawmakers, that Israel’s refusal to allow the necessary volume of food aid into Gaza is causing a preventable famine.

“The reality is that there are children who are starving,” Burns said. “They’re malnourished, as a result of the fact that humanitarian assistance can’t get to them. It’s very difficult to distribute humanitarian assistance effectively, unless you have a cease-fire.”

The witnesses, who included the directors of the FBI, the National Security Agency, the Defense Intelligence Agency, and the State Department’s Bureau of Intelligence and Research, spoke about a panoply of challenges, from an ambitious China to the proliferation of artificial intelligence and the continuing threat of cyberespionage and warfare. Brett Holmgren, the State Department’s top intelligence official, said that the power of AI could “lower the barrier” for U.S. adversaries to engage in election interference.
