I read about the Jewish roman war in 70 BCE, and when the city of Masada was about to be entirely killed, all jewish there (around 1.5 MILLION people) just committed suicide.
Maybe yes, instead of commiting suicide you can have your last “desperate attempt”, not to die passively.

Good Analysis.

I should tell you that is disputed.

Josephus, like many writers of his day, favored a good story over a true story.
I also find weird that so much people just suicide.
Thanks for the info
