Concessions don’t get you anything. Each concession is only the prelude to the next round of warfare; in effect “concessions” are the reward to the arabs for returning to war. It is a reverse incentive; concessions are an incentive for the arabs to return to war.

You have to reverse the incentive or it won’t work.

You have to make the arabs pay for each return to war. Every attack that makes it across the line into Israeli territory, whether it be a deluded teenager in a dynamite vest or a mortar shell or a rocket sailed into a neighborhood, every attack must be answered by the seizure and annexation of arab land.

Its “Land for Peace”, but up until now the wires have been reversed and the machine has been running backwards. Swap the wires around, get the incentive in line with your purposes, and “Land for Peace” will work just fine. Killing terrorists alone will never work; the arabs do not mourn their loss, and their loss transmits no pain. Only the loss of territory transmits pain. Every violation of the peace must cost the arabs in land or there will never be peace. Rewarding war with “concessions” guarantees more war with a dead certainty.

It is pathetic to see concern about “rewarding war” if Israel has to make concessions. To accept any occupation outside Israel’s original borders or to accept any settlements is to reward war, regardless of who started it. Within recent history, say the last 100 years, Europe and Israel started it by imposing the Jewish state of Israel upon the Middle East. This mistake is long past undoing but that does not mean it is acceptable to reward Israel with expanded borders.
