I'd rather die, than dishonor the memory of all those who died rather than convert. Hannah and her seven sons Hanukah is the story of heroes and bravery. It took great courage to go against the king and not worship idols. It took courage to fight against a powerful enemy and win as the Maccabees did. One of the most amazing parts of Hanukah is in the Book of the Maccabees. It is the story of Hannah and her sons. She loved them very much and they were loyal to HaShem. They would not do what the king wanted them to do and worship idols. One day the soldiers came and took Hannah and her sons away. They brought them to the temple where there was an idol of Zeus and ordered them to bow down and worship and say that they accepted Zeus as their god. Hannah and her sons refused. The soldiers killed her oldest son, hoping that when the others saw this they would worship their idol. But they did not. One after the other they were killed as was Hannah. She died declaring her faith in HaShem. akhlah.com

As long as there are women and they arent wearing burkas, i convert. This reminds me of a strategy I'm surprised the Pals have never tried. It makes sense that the Pals should just uniformly convert to Judaism - through whatever process that entail for a Muslim - immigrate to Israel, as every Jew is entitled, get their Israeli passport, and convert back to Islam, and gain the "right of return" they supposedly seek through the backdoor. I'm a disinterested party, and I can come up with this obvious approach. Why don't you think the Pals have every tried it???
