Reply #38: When you have been attacked is an excellent time to offer peace.

Of course it might look like you are "surrendering" or
"negotiating under fire", but you can't offer peace at any time
without admitting that you want to quit, eh? You have to
make up your mind, do you want to stop the killing or do you
want to make sure that no violence goes unavenged? You cannot
do both at the same time. I mean, that is exactly what the
Palestinians are being asked to do, surrender, admit defeat,
sue for peace under fire. Why is it OK for them but not anybody
else?
