Then the solutions by such as Moshe Feiglin (pay them to leave, annexing all of Judea/Samaria) are doable and tenable.

Nobody uttered so much as a whimper when Jordan expelled the PLO and all its followers for attempting to overthrow the government.

There's no doubt that the PA, Hamas, Fatah and all the other similar organizations would like nothing less than to accomplish the overthrow of the Israeli state. Dump them on the borders and let the other Muslim/Arab states worry about them. It would by FULLY consistent with Jewish law (leaving them one avenue of escape).

Countries don't win wars by being nice guys (and make no mistake, we are at war). They win wars by defeating (hopefully decisively) their enemies.

The rest of world is full of disrespect and disregard for Israels' plight. Israel must follow Jewish law and the word of G-d in dealing with their intractable enemies.
