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!”
