Abstract
While Palestinian dead are always respected and remembered, there is ambivalence about suicide attacks after the harsh incursions in Jenin and its refugee camp come in the wake of suicide bombings. Attempts by the Western press to understand suicide bombing generally cite fanaticism and despair; though amongst Palestinians there is no single theory about what makes suicide bombers do what they do, and no firm opinion about their usefulness or morality.
