Inspired ofcourse by the clueless nonviolentists' logic. 
 
Keeping with your example of rape, is it better to resist and die? 
 
Does resistance necessarily result in death? And is it better to be sitting ducks and allow violence to happen?
 
I would hope Palestinians would seek a route for a future other than misery and death. 
 
Yeah and the Palestinians on the scene, who know better about the ground realities, have made their decision regarding whats best for them now...if only people could respect that.

Wow, Saladin, I only wish I could be so confident about what the Palestinian people want.  Seems to me that for years a corrupt PA decided for them, and now, Hamas/Abu Mazen..... no less corrupt and inept; "know better about the ground realities......." or do they really?

Richard Cohen:
"Those of us who have watched Israel trying to control the West Bank have always wondered why the Palestinians have not tried passive resistance. This is what Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King did - and Israel is weak in the way Britain and America are. It has a conscience."
