No, in other places the victor destroyed or neutralized the opponent, or they kept fighting. The problem is that Israel hasn't won their fight yet. So your argument is that Israel behaved too humanely? If they had ethnically cleared all of Palestine as they took it, we would hear a lot less about the sufferings of the Palestinians under occupation. Sad to say, I suspect there is a lot of truth in that position. If Israel had simply chucked the Arabs out and declared a hard border, than the Arabs could not have shifted the perception of the conflict from millions of big Arab countries trying to destroy little Israel to big bad Israelis occupying poor little Palestinians. By every measure that goes on in any other conflict, Israel won. The Arabs just refused to come to grips with that reality, just as they refuse to come to grips with the nature of the modern world.
