Difference between occupying and owning
You might want to hope that this conflict is over, and that Israel won, but that's not the way it works.
Blunt fact is, as Rabin repeatedly told Sharon, without a Palestinian/Israeli agreement, sooner or later one of the Moslem states or a non-governmental actor will acquire weapons of mass destruction.
After the Israelis are dead, along with large numbers Moslems, then of course the "winners" will have possession of a waste land.
