“We desire death as you desire life.”

Then why put your women and children in front of you in battle? Why hide then? Why escape when the Israelis are breathing down your neck? Why fire rockets and then run?
It appears that leadership doesn’t desire death at all. They volunteer their population to take up that worthy task.
“Then why put your women and children in front of you in battle”
It is quite simple, they know that we value the lives of their women and children (even if they don’t) and use it as a tactic against us. The solution is simple (we just need to do it) there is no quarter for anyone that engages in this behavior, it elicits a death penalty. We also gather evidence against those that escape and bring justice to them (be it rope, rifle or explosives) at the earliest opportunity.
Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meier said, “I can forgive them for killing my children. I cannot forgive them for forcing my children to kill theirs.”
