Masada as compared to suicide bombers.

Two thoughts:

1) The comparison is not exact. The people who committed suicide at Masada would have been killed the next morning and they knew it.

2) I'm not sure the Zealot's cause should be viewed positively. I haven't studied this in depth but I suspect they waged an unnecessary war bringing a catastrophe upon their people. Sort of like the Palestinians of today.
