I get why Ennis is so nihilistic. He did grow up during the Troubles and saw shit like car bombs going off in civilian areas or the Black and Tans beating the shit out of people when they weren't just straight-up killing them. You see violence like that as a kid and it's going to create a warped worldview.
I suspect Palestinian children now who survive to adulthood are going to have similar outlooks on life.
