It’s a solid disicion on their (hamas's) part, it express’s their desperation and the willingness to sacrifice all thats left of their culture.
It is not a cowardly act to use ones own family as a weapon, if fact, it may be the tougest disicion one could make.

If they completely disregard human life and, culturally, value their women differently (lesser value than men and boys), is that decision really all that tough?
