Muslims would rather live long lives than die young, the same as Jews or Christians or atheists. However, if reclaiming their ancestral lands will result from Palestinians dying, they will die for their land and, more importantly, for the next generations and for their parents' and grandparents' traumatic loss of rights. Jews and Christians also will die for their so-called "values". Look at how we treat American soldiers who die while "serving". (What a ridiculous word.) And how IDF who die in a war are treated as heroes. What did they do that was heroic? The "cadre of Israelis" who were more tuned into Arabs were actually Arabs, forcefully manipulated to emigrate from their natal Arab countries. Their kids are the assholes following right-wing demagogues. I think Ben Gvir is Iraqi Jewish. The other two--Smotrich and I can't remember his made-up name--are Ukrainian or Polish. Some people know Arabic to some degree. But the way colonialism works is the minority knows more of the majority culture than the majority knows the minority. That's why African-Americans know way more about European-American culture than European-Americans know of Black culture. They have to in order to survive. Anglos don't have to know shit. Jewish Israelis don't have to know shit. They don't even know how much of Palestinian culture they ape as "Israeli" culture. Israeli, my ass.
