Wala is 10 years old. She lives in the Palestinian area of Nablus, a town in the West Bank. Her older brother was a suicide bomber, he chose to blow himself up trying to kill Israelis. After the attack the Israeli army bulldozed Wala's family home. How do you feel about what your brother did? Proud. Why? Because he did it for the sake of his land and to avenge his Uncle who was killed by Israelis. I think it's good but I am angry with him, I pray that he went to heaven and I hope we'll follow and join him one day. Do you think what he did was wrong? Yes. How do feel about him killing others? I feel sorry for them and I worry that he may have killed little girls but he would have stayed away from them. Would you ever want to be a suicide bomber? If I were to become a suicide bomber the Israelis might arrest me. It is better to be a martyr. What's the difference? The soldiers will shoot me on my way to school. That way I won't have any more problems. This life is full of pain and fear, I'll join my brother in heaven and all my problems will go away. Don't you want to live and grow up? Yes but it's better to be martyred. Why? I won't have to put up with this life that is full of pain and fear. Have you ever met an Israeli child? No, I haven't. What do you want to happen in Nablus, what would make you happy? I want the army to leave, I don't want to know about war or terrorism. I don't want the army to be able to enter the town.
