There is a scene in Apocalyptic Now were Col. Kurtz relates a story to Capt. Willard about horror. The story Kurtz tells is that rather than except medical treatment, shots specifically, the villagers cut off the arms of their childern and stacked them in the middle of the village for Kurtz and his team to see...Its an unconscionable horror to him...It parallels the choice the Palestinies have made don’t you think?
Edit to add; I don't think they are cowards and I think you can't win against that mentality unless you commit to fight all out war, without mercy....
