Abstract

This article, which deals with the social profile of a woman suicide bomber and the process of becoming a human bomb based on the first Palestinian woman human bomb Wafa Idris, particularly aims to assess the Wafa Idris example by utilizing the main theories of suicide bombing. It can be said that the social conditions in which Wafa Idris lived were not so harsh as to push Ms. Idris into committing such a brutal attack when especially attention is paid to the general economic structure and living standard of the Palestinian society. Since there are many Palestinians more desperate than Idris who don’t carry out suicide missions as Idris did, the social deprivation theory doesn’t fully give us an accurate explanation of the phenomenon. Psychologically Wafa Idris has a damaged personality with feelings of anger, hopelessness and despera‐ tion. At this point she makes the important choice of becoming a suicide bomber and rationalizing the idea of being a human bomb. Here it is important to note that Israel has expansion policies towards the Palestinian territory, violating the borders of 1967 and many Palestinians still perceive the Israel state in the historical Palestinian territory as an illegitimate and occupying enti‐ ty. Besides it doesn’t seem possible to explain Wafa Idris’s attack relying merely on the meaning realm consisting of fundamentalism, radicalism or political Islam. Rather than being the fundamental cause of the suicide bombing, reli‐ gion is used to legalize and justify the attack within the theological context of jihad, 201shahaded, and sacrificing yourself for the dawah.
