Shifa Al-Qudsi, she knew that once she puts on the explosive belt, there would be no turning back. She knew it would rip her limb from limb, reducing her to a bloody pulp. She knew it would leave her only daughter an orphan.
But she also knew this: It would kill Israelis. With luck a lot of them, and that was reason enough to do it.
She was a suicide Bomber, ore at least tried to be. A Palestinian hair dresser driven to anger, despair and hopelessness, she volunteered to carry out an attack on Israelis that would strike a blow, she thought for her beleaguered people. " i wanted to seek revenge" she said.
But she was arrested before she could act and today, after 6 years in a Israeli prison, she has transformed her self from a would be angel of death to a messenger of peace. Now working with a group that brings Palestinians and Israelis together to advocate an end to the conflict.
