Yes, to protect ISRAELI citizens. Kill all Hamas and other terror group members. Deport all Hamas or other terror group supporters, with no right to return, either to some other muslim country or to Allah if none in this world will take them. Give the strip as a muslim free zone to its 2000 arab Christian residents and offer it as refuge for other middle eastern, discriminated against by muslim, religious minorities willing to accept Israel's existence. Remove the strip as a combat front and launching site from IDF's perimeter. Keep it muslim free as a payment from Allah for Hammas efforts to render Israel free of Jews, and as a warning to those who might try the same in the future.
I like it.
Works for me.
