Eleazar figured that it would be best for his people to take the victory away from the Romans by robbing them of their glory. Eleazar's plan was a success and history may well justify the act of suicide. I talked to both my parents and asked them what they would do in this situation. My mom felt that it was wrong to commit suicide in this case because the Jews didn't even try to put up a fight. As she put it, "Even if the Jews did lose, their lives may have been spared." My dad felt that suicide was the best thing to do given the circumstan .....

The Bubonic Plague
Words: 581 / Pages: 3

.... by the rats in the grain or bales of cloth and cotton, or on the backs of the crew, passengers or returning soldiers?
