Abstract
This article deals with a scientifically viable explanation of the phenomenon of Palestinian female bombers, situating it within its proper frame of analysis as an integral part of the Palestinian struggle for self-determination equally involving both genders. It also aims to dismantle the vilification, profiling, typification, and stereotyping of these women, especially by three American feminist writers, as sexual deviants or carriers of some psychological baggage which forces them to participate in these terrorist acts in order to atone for their personal infringements of the normative structure of Palestinian society.The article, furthermore, contextualizes the struggle of Palestinian female suicide bombers within the international framework of other national movements (in Sri Lanka and in Chechnya) whose women have been empowered to fight alongside their male counterparts for independence, freedom, and an end to occupation.
