13/5/2007 Gender, Palestinian Women, and Terrorism: Women’s Liberation or Oppression?

Anat Berko and Edna Erez

The study examines the hypothesis that Palestinian women’s involvement in terrorism indicates women’s liberation. The data are derived from indepth interviews with fourteen women who were detained or incarcerated in Israeli prisons for security offenses. The interviews shed light on the women’s pathways to terrorism, the roles that they play in terrorist activity, and the aftermath of their security offenses within Palestinian society and culture. The study underlines the “no return” option and “no win” situation that Palestinian women who embark on terrorist activities encounter.

The suicide attacker is no more then a platform that carries the explosive charge to its target. However, this platform can think and, therefore, see to it that the explosive charge is detonated at the optimal location and timing so as to create maximum carnage and destruction.

Javier Jordán and Fernando M. Mañas

20/2/2007 Aviation Terrorism: From Bargaining Chip to Strategic Agent

Hillel Avihai

Hijacking has become an archaic tactic, converting the hostages from being pawns on the terrorism chess board to dispensable targets. This is emphasized by the transition from 'rolling action' to 'immediate action'. 'Immediate action' is characterized by the fact that no negotiation takes place within the latter mode of air terrorism, unlike 'rolling terrorism', which refers to a negotiation process in which hostages are released after the release of jailed terrorists.
