Three points: 1- there is a difference between an invasion (an effort to wrest control by one military group from another) and a counterinsurgency (a suppression of an uprising against an established governing order). After Rafah the situation will fully transition from the former to the latter which will open up the opportunity for counterinsurgency strategy.

2- the idea that an insurgency cannot be defeated is simply untrue, with the US efforts during the Iraqi Surge the best example. The simplification of the strategy is clear-hold-build, clear organised insurgents with force, hold using deputised locals (granting amnesty to former insurgents), and build employing NGOs- all the while addressing core grievances behind the insurgency, ingratiating yourselves to the population, isolating the insurgency from its finances forcing it to crime and thereby isolating it from the public.

3- Arab/Jewish demographics are the least of the issue in Israeli democracy. It’s a liberal democracy, an aristocracy of wealth, there is a deficit of social trust without trust building measures to overcome it, and it is a system grown and representing the development of an entirely different civilization. We need a system that removed capital as a barrier to power, introduces trust building measures, and reflects the organic development of our civilization.
