...stop women in labor from reaching hospitals, the curfews, the siege, the grinding, ever-deepening poverty, the air raids, the incursions, the demolitions of homes and fields and the incremental loss of their lands. And this produces the despair that spawns the nihilism of the suicide bomber, and the rage that makes him (or, if the latest reports are to be believed, her) a hometown hero - and, increasingly, a role model...
