It’s a cliché that war settles nothing. In fact, generally it is only war that ever settles international disputes. The Palestinians gambled everything on this war. They lost their gamble. Now it is time for them to be cashed out. Israel should invade the West Bank and Gaza, extinguish all Palestinian political authority, round up and detain as many Palestinian leaders as it can catch, put them on trial for war crimes, and reassert its pre-1993 status as the occupying power in all of the West Bank and Gaza.

The problem is, that even if political repurcussions were not a consideration, that Israel wants this option like a hole in the head and will be forced to it most reluctantly only after a successful mega-attack.
