This was brought up under the general news thread but I think it deserves its own.
Time to let the Palestinians know they lost.
The Israel Victory Project.
The point of this project is to move the discussion away from a 'peace process'. It is the acceptance that the 'peace process' has failed and will continue to fail. It is the realization that Israel offering land or other goodies for peace has never resulted in peace with the Arab Palestinians.
Instead, its time to frame the discussion as "Israel won -- Palestine lost" and then act within that framework.
Some practical, specific ideas include (from the first article):
To that I would add such things as:
I would consider other unilateral Israeli actions as well -- such as determining final borders between Israel and Palestine, expansion of Jewish cities and the creation of new ones, etc.
Thoughts? Does anyone think this change of strategy will induce change and resolve the conflict?

Some practical, specific ideas include (from the first article):
- When Palestinian “martyrs” cause material damage, pay for repairs out of the roughly $300 million in tax obligations the government of Israel transfers to the Palestinian Authority (PA) each year.
- Respond to activities designed to isolate and weaken Israel internationally by limiting access to the West Bank.
- When a Palestinian attacker is killed, bury the body quietly and anonymously in a potter’s field.
- When the PA leadership incites violence, prevent officials from returning to the PA from abroad.
- Respond to the murder of Israelis by expanding Jewish towns on the West Bank.
- When official PA guns are turned against Israelis, seize these and prohibit new ones, and if this happens repeatedly, dismantle the PA’s security infrastructure.
- Should violence continue, reduce and then shut off the water and electricity that Israel supplies.
- In the case of gunfire, mortar shelling, and rockets, occupy and control the areas from which these originate.
To that I would add such things as:
- not providing medical care to non-Israelis
- full access of Jews to the Temple Mount, including the right to pray, worship, visit and enter through any gate and the permanent ban of anyone who causes disruption
I would consider other unilateral Israeli actions as well -- such as determining final borders between Israel and Palestine, expansion of Jewish cities and the creation of new ones, etc.
