Yes, suicide bombing is horrible and does not solve oppression.

And yes, I understand the needs for agency, for autonomy, and the feelings of powerlessness and frustration behind such outrageous, inhumane and fruitless acts. I am also informed about the extensive preparation and brainwashing that go into it which also meet the person’s need for belonging and to matter (announced as martyr in their community). (See Syriana for a depiction in film?)

But solving oppression and murder by state terrorism will likely reduce suicide bombings, too.
