Dying for Change:What Lies Beneath
Female Suicide Bombingsin the Middle East
The historical status of Middle Eastern women directly correlates to female suicide bombings in the
Arab-Israeli conflict.
“Veiled, voiceless, powerless victims”
Women protest land confiscation
Women’s calls for peace
“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
Cheers, cheers!What’s this for?For the woundedAnd for the girl
Who was not content with just shouting
Who took up stones against the Zionists
And threw them at themAs in her loudest voice she
cried“The land of my country is both my wedding and my
veil!”
