Episode notes
Various groups like the Taliban and Hamas are willing to sacrifice civilian lives in conflicts because they believe the sacrifices will be worth it in the long run. They have a calculated approach where they accept the loss of lives as a necessary part of achieving their goals, despite the sensitivity and complexity of the issue. This mindset is deeply ingrained, with the acceptance that civilian deaths are an unfortunate but inevitable consequence of their actions. Leadership in these groups exhibit a strong determination to continue with their strategies, factoring in the sacrifices of generations as a necessary cost for future victory.
