PALESTINIAN "FEMINIST"

Female Suicide Bomber a Palestinian Heroine - Khaled Abu Toameh (Jerusalem Post)
The Gaza Center for Culture and Arts on Wednesday launched a popular folklore course named after Wafa Idris, the first Palestinian female suicide bomber. Idris blew herself up on Jaffa Road in Jerusalem in January 2002, killing an Israeli man and wounding several others. The Union of Palestinian Women presented Idris as a role model for Palestinian feminism, a parade for young girls was held in her honor, summer camps for children, university courses, and Fatah programs have been named after her, and a concert honoring Idris has been broadcast numerous times on PA television.
