suicide bombers vs freedom fighters

I know this is a little bit late, but I'm now doing my post about the YouTube site we were asked to look for and discuss. I chose to look up some more information about suicide bombers in the Middle East (or as some people look at them, Freedom Fighters).

The clip I chose to watch was about a female Palestinian who had somehow become a suicide bomber. Of course, the people who do the bombing rarely look at the situation as committing suicide, they think of themselves as martyrs. What they are doing is for something bigger than themselves, they are Freedom Fighters, hoping to better the world.

In some strange twist of fate, this woman did not end up killing herself or anyone else. She was not successful in her attempt to blow up her Israeli doctor. In my opinion, these suicide bombers are more of a victim than the people they are attempting to blow up. This woman was obviously in some sort of a mental disarray and was not fully aware of the task she took on when she decided to strap a bomb to her body.

She must have been told by someone at some point that strapping a bomb to her chest and killing not only herself, but several other innocent people, would somehow make her a martyr. She therefore went into it thinking of herself as a "Freedom Fighter." However, after giving the idea some thought, it seems that she realized what an extreme task she had taken on and decided that she had made a mistake. At some point, this woman realized that she was not a Freedom Fighter, she was a suicide bomber. Unfortunately, by that point, she was committed and there was no turning back.

Ironically, something went wrong with the wiring of the bomb and it didn't fire. Now this woman is in jail, waiting for her trial, which will probably be unfair. She is now trapped in a jail cell, begging to be let go before she is given the death penalty. She knows she made a mistake, but at this point, there is nothing she can do but face the fate of a failed suicide bomber.
