There were a bunch of Israelites a few thousand years ago, fanatics, who refused to realistically assess what they were up against. They were sooooo sure God was on their side. They retreated to a difficult-to-access mountaintop to hold out for as long as they could… then killed themselves in a Jim Jonesian way rather than take the loss.

Their name has since become the English word for obsessive, unreasonable whack jobs who it’s not even worth trying to negotiate with. (i.e., the Zealots).

Just thought I’d mention it. No special reason.
