Abstract:

MIA M. BLOOM demonstrates why Palestinian public opinion increasingly supports suicide terror against Israeli civilians and military personnel. Suicide bombings have become a method of recruitment and mobilization for radical Palestinian organizations. They serve at one and the same time to attack the hated enemy and give legitimacy to outlier militant groups who compete with the Palestinian Authority for leadership.
