Yeah, but guerilla warfare is damn effective. The Maccabee's offensive is still studied in war schools today.
Also, what an individual Jew does, is not what Jews do. That also applies to the Muslims. Ignoring politics, the general answer is, Militant Jews practice Kiddush Hashem. When they want to protest, the kill themselves. Militants Muslims OTOH, seems to have a habit of taking others with them.
this isn't an issue of what is more right. if you believe in god, suicide still gets you into hell, so its gotta be pretty bad, don't you think?
my point is, you can't just point at one group and say "look at what you did!". just about every group of people has commited some sort of horrible act, maybe several.
also, just because guerilla warfare was effective doesn't mean that we weren't look upon as monsters back then.
and yet, if we had not engaged in guerilla warfare, chances are better than good we would have lost our war for independence. Although, being completely fair, Cornwallis did turn out something of a fool by the time of Yorktown.
