Palestinian Women as Terrorists
Topics: Middle East News and PerspectivesFor a perspective on terrorism from a July o4 posting on the official website of the Israel Defense Forces comes the following article on Palestinian terror, as of July 04, conducted by women:
Since the beginning of the Intifada, the phenomenon of using women as suicide bombers and executing terrorist attacks has grown. The terrorist groups, the ones who implement the attacks search to exploit the embodied advantages of the participation of women in order to carry out terrorist attacks mainly within the Green Line.
This is the supposition that women are seen as tender, delicate and innocent, and as such stimulates less suspicion than a man. In all the incidents which women have been involved in terrorist attacks there has been a need for camouflage, enabling them to be assimilated in Israeli streets.
Female terrorists attempt to present themselves as Westerners by wearing non-conservative dress such as short skirts, maternity dress and modern haircuts.
Will we face similar problems here in the U.S.? In the context of what has been happening at SFSU can we disregard what we see in Israel and believe that we are safe from such terrorist acts? What lessons should we be learning from the acts of the terrorists in Israel?
