Perhaps several centuries to create, starting in 1513, approximately, with the first new immigrants from Istanbul, one of whom would codify Jewish Law, and one of whom would systematize the Kaballah, both founding schools in Tzfat. Others would plant orchards in the Galilee.

I am not even sure it would take a year given the first two things they did when they recovered the Gaza in the stupid land for peace deal:

1. They destroyed the greenhouses which were earning the Israeli settlers decent export income.
   
2. They set up rocket launchers to harass their neighbors.
