War Never Resolves Anything

A mantra of the Left is that war never solves anything and in the end we always have to negotiate for peace and for a political settlement…blah, blah, blah.
You know what?
I agree.
In a Left-wing government, war won’t solve anything because you simply aren’t fighting to win, and if you are supposedly fighting to win, those goals are so watered down, even when you lose by a knockout you can still declare a victory with your last breath.
Meanwhile Hizbollah is proof-positive that the mantra is false. They went to war, and they achieved their goals for this round.
Next time a leftist says that wars don’t solve anything I’ll send him to Nasrallah for a chat on victories and goals.
Just a quick math test for my readers.
If the disengagement cost $2,000,000,000 (US), and this war cost $7,000,000,000 (so far) for a total of $9,000,000,000.
Assuming we exaggerate and say there are 300,000 Palestinian family units in Yesha.
If we were to pay each family a $100,000 emigration stipend to leave Israel (including flight), how many Palestinian families could we afford to pay (this year) to start a new life in the West (or East, or North, or South for that matter) if we didn’t have to fight this war or had thrown out our own citizens out of their own homes?
How many years would it take to relocate all the Palestinian families in Israel (not just Yesha) at this rate?

"How many years would it take to relocate all the Palestinian families in Israel (not just Yesha) at this rate?"
For those who want to kill all infidels, it won't happen. They are not of the American money mentality that thinks that money can buy everything in life including Israeli government policy making.
Levi: That was very good.
Anonymous: We need to add to the equation, "after killing x percent involved in terrorist attacks".
Isn't that special. Go away then.
Don't forget to then tack the cost of the wall which no longer needs to be built, nor all the "border crossings".
Can it be done in one calendar year?
Well, no one wants to say it out loud, so I will.
How much does one bullet cost?
Let's suppose our enemies in Israel get the choice - one bullet to the brain, or flee into one of the neigbouring arab dictatorships.
How much will that cost, and how long will it take? One calendar month?
And we can easily pay for the relatively minimal costs, by re-liberating the Sinai (which includes oil and natural gas wells, enough to cover most of Israel's energy needs), as well as solve housing problems for expulsion victims and others.
Liberating S. Lebanon will solve water problems (after all, it is also part of Israel).
I for one never did, and certainly never will start discussing 'half measures' and non-solutions that attempt to placate 'western morality' (like giving our enemy scum $100,000 each to go make trouble somewhere else).
Ask any of our Jewish bretheren who came to Israel from arab countries what they were able to take to Israel (or anywhere else), and what the consequences of refusing to go would have been.
Truth.
