The Palestinian land was stolen. They lost their homes, saw their parents and children beaten and humiliated, sought refuge in exile. For them, the past has been obliterated, and there is no present or future. Everything that they once called their own is gone. Nothing remains except the air they breathe.

Through martyrdom and death, perhaps, the bombers hope to attain something in heaven, having lost everything on earth. When they rise to defend themselves, to resist the occupation, and free their land, they are dubbed terrorists, while the aggressors and their occupying forces are victims. For those victims, conferences are convened, and statements issued to defend their rights. Whenever terrorism is mentioned in the Western media, it is always linked to the Arab region, the Middle East or Islam. The association has become so strong that the Arabs are automatically portrayed as terrorists, while Islam represents violence , and the Middle East is depicted as the main exporter of human bombs.
