During the Cold War, the Russians realized they couldn’t reward their top scientists with wealth, so they used a different technique, that also worked.
It began by impoverishing their scientists, and rewarding them for their work with basic necessities. A really good idea or invention might be worth an extra potato at meal time, or maybe an extra blanket to sleep under.
Israelis have a thousand, ten thousand joys in life, and they are willing to offer all of these to the Muslims in exchange for peace.
But there is only one tangible thing in life that the Muslims religiously want. It is the only way they can demonstrate that they are “good Muslims”. They want land. All land. Every centimeter of it. It must all become Muslim land. For a Muslim to lose “Muslim land” is a both a personal and religious shame. The least he can do is keep what land he has. To succeed he must get more.
And Muslims are very honest about this, if little else.
But it is the one thing Israel cannot give. All of its land. And this perplexes the Israelis, because they cannot believe that there is absolutely nothing the Muslims want beyond land. They don’t care if their children starve and die, if their lives are miserable and filthy, etc. They don’t care.
So this is the impasse. But back to Russia, the Israeli approach is the wrong approach. Instead of offering to give, what Israel must do is to take.
Israel creates a new policy. Every time Muslims attack us, we will take some of their land. Maybe not much, but that land will no longer be Muslim land, forever. And if they keep attacking us, they will lose more and more land, until they have no land left and are pushed out.
This is not an easy policy. Once the first sliver of land is taken, the Muslims will scream like a hot iron has been applied to the soles of their feet. They will scream and cry and curse and threaten. Even worse than the usual.
And the international community will say to Israel, “Why don’t you give them their little sliver of land back? It is a nothing.”
But Israel must be absolutely firm. Once the land is gone, it is gone forever. And once again the message goes out that the next time Israel is attack, Muslims will lose more land. Land for peace. Give us peace, or we’ll take your land.
Hitting home, the Muslims will have hysterics like they have never had before. And the international community will call Israel lots of names for being stubborn and “oppressive”, over a little patch of empty desert.
But if Israel ever, ever gives any land back, the Muslims will attack Israel with everything they’ve got.
Yet if Israel is persistent, then the Muslim leaders will forbid more attacks, for real, and if any radical tries it, they will kill him. Because it is their land at stake.
Yet even if Israel kicks out all the Muslims, they will never, ever shut up about getting back “their land”. But then again, they never shut up right now.
You’re onto something. This is what I mean by being inevitable. It’s like dealing with a four-year-old’s temper tantrums. Give in, and you’ll have worse and worse temper tantrums. He will be utterly traumatized that he isn’t getting his way, so it will be harder to be firm. But once you are persistently firm, and the tantrums don’t work, they stop. The international community is like the overindulgent parent who works at cross-purposes with the other parent and always gives in to the tantrums. At some point, there must be a showdown. That might be what Gog and Magog’s war is about.
The Palis keep firing rockets into Israel, then close down the borders with Israel. More rockets, cut off all food and water and supplies. Let the Palis try to bring supplies in by sea or from Egypt. More rockets, the level a 1,000 yard strip forward of the current border. Advance Israel's border to the new border and bulldoze everything within the 1,000 yard strip.
Note that the Gaza territory has just shrunk by 1,000 yards and Israel's has expanded by 1,000 yards. When the Palis do it again, shrink their border by 1,000 yards. Every time the Palis fire rockets into Israel, shrink the Palis homeland by 1,000 yards and bulldoze the land flat.
Eventually, the Palis will be feeling the squeeze and they will start getting psycho towards the Israelis and each other. The Israelis need to keep the relentless pressure on the Palis. The various factions will start fighting each other and killing themselves. The Israels keep the pressure on and the surviving Palis will have to leave by sea for anywhere willing to accept them or go to Egypt or die. Once Gaza's cleared out, Israel annexes it and starts new settlements there. The Palis in the West Bank are next.
Eventually, the Palis are forced into Jordan or they kill each other off. Israel annexes the West Bank and the Palestinians can raise hell with Egyptians or Jordanians. neither Egyptians or Jordanians like Palis. These Pali morons are screwed.

They don't understand concession. They don't understand compassion. They don't understand rule of law.
Give them something they can understand.
