Five Decades of Research on Women and Terrorism

May 30, 2024 | tandfonline.com | Devorah Margolin |Joana Cook

AbstractWhile numerous researchers have taken a macro approach to assessing the state of the field of terrorism studies, little has been done to better understand one vital sub-section: women and terrorism. Despite women’s active and supportive participation in terrorism and political violence, it is often repeated that they are overlooked, under-analyzed, and ignored in the research which has often taken a gender-blind approach. Yet, there has been notable growth in this literature since 9/11.
The Road to October 7: Hamas’ Long Game, Clarified

Dec 1, 2023 | homelandsecuritynewswire.com | Devorah Margolin |Matthew Levitt

GAZA WARThe Road to October 7: Hamas’ Long Game, ClarifiedPublished 1 December 2023When Hamas took over the Gaza Strip by force of arms in 2007, it faced an ideological crisis. It could focus on governing Gaza and addressing the needs of the Palestinian people, or it could use the Gaza Strip as a springboard from which to attack Israel. Even then, Hamas understood these two goals were mutually exclusive.

One month after the Oct. 7 attacks launched by Hamas that killed more than 1,400 individuals in Israel, approximately 240 hostages have been identified. These men, women and children are still being held in the Gaza Strip by Hamas and other groups, including the U.S.-designated Palestinian Islamic Jihad. The majority of captives are civilians, and include nationals from approximately 40 countries, including an estimated 10 Americans.
An interview with Devorah Margolin on Hamas

ICCT Senior Project Manager Joana Cook sits down with Devorah Margolin, Blumenstein-Rosenbloom Fellow at the Washington Institute to discuss Hamas. Joana Cook (JC): Hi Dr. Margolin, thanks for speaking with me today. Many people - yourself included - have argued that Hamas’s October 7th attack on Israel was a pivot for the group. Why do you and others think that is the case? Could Hamas change its attitude on the total destruction of Israel?

AuthorSami PeretzA security negligence of this magnitude requires immediate lessons to be drawn, but for some reason, what is currently required is to postpone the investigations into the “Gaza envelope” disaster until another day. This is a mistake. It is possible to wait for a formal investigation committee and the resignation of high-level officials at the end of the fighting, but drawing preliminary lessons is necessary to prevent additional disasters in the future.

Ron Ben YishaiThe state of uncertainty and suffering experienced by the families of kidnapped citizens and captured soldiers in Gaza, to a large extent, imposes restrictions on the hands of the Israeli army, and prevents Israel from doing what is required to fundamentally change the reality in the Gaza Strip. The issue disturbs us emotionally here in Israel, and it disturbs enlightened citizens and leaders around the world.

By Arwa DamonAs the often-quoted sentence goes, “The first casualty of war is the truth.”I would argue that “casualty” is not merely an innocent byproduct of war but deliberately targeted. As a twenty-year veteran of the journalism industry—two decades spent mainly covering war and violence—I can attest to that and how each “side” is trying to lure and manipulate with their messaging—what some might even call propaganda.

The October 7th operation was called the Al-Aqsa Flood, and when Israel formulated its response, it called it the Iron Swords. With the first aerial bombardment of Gaza, the facts went beyond the two labels, to give rise to more realistic labels, such as the war of revenge, the war of displacement, the war to liquidate Hamas, the war to liquidate the Palestinian cause, and standing on the brink of a regional war that might lead to a global war.

According to what was reported from a Hamas leader in Lebanon, who was speaking, a few days ago, at a press conference in Beirut, “the movement’s demand to stop the war is an end to the occupation, the return of refugees, and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state.” Thank you, Mr. Osama Hamdan. There are two reasons for gratitude: The first is old, and the second is new.

By Marwan BisharaAlready in its third week, Israel’s war on Gaza has so far killed more than 5,600 Palestinians, injured thousands more, and displaced more than one million. Despite calls from some quarters for a ceasefire, there seems to be no end in sight for the suffering of Gaza’s two million residents.
