In late October, our Emet for Israel organization, Students Supporting Israel (SSI) at Indiana University, held an event titled Inside the Mind of a Terrorist. The student group invited Anat Berko, author of The Smarter Bomb: Women and Children as Suicide Bombers, to speak about her personal conversations with women and children who have attempted to become suicide bombers.
According to our Emet for Israel representative from SSI, Amit Boukai, “the event was interesting because Berko discussed how her research about the involvement of women in terrorism applies to Israel as well as the rest of the world, as we are seeing a rise in Islamic extremism from ISIS and other terrorist organizations.”
