Dying for Change:What Lies BeneathFemale Suicide Bombingsin the Middle East
The historical status of Middle Eastern women directly correlates to female suicide bombings in the Arab-Israeli conflict.
“Without exception, the suicide bombers have lived their lives on the receiving end of a system designed to trample their rights and crush every hope of a brighter future … They conclude that ending life as a bomb - rather than having it ended by a bullet - endows them … with a semblance of purpose and control previously considered out of reach.” -Mouin Rabbani
