"Paying the Price" = Zero Israeli Casualties

I deduced that by "paying the price" you meant Israeli war casualties. I'm for ZERO Israeli casualties. Muslim Arab Palestinians love MARTYRDOM. In contrast, Israelis and Jews in general, by their Religion and Culture love LIFE. Victory mostly implies prevalence in War which entails Killing Humans. But Israeli's Conflict is with the Palestinians, Arabs, Muslims, and most of the World (in the UN). Obviously this entails Hasbara (Propaganda, Advertising, Public Relations, etc.) - just because there are too many against Israel. The struggle has to do which Christianity and Islam being "merely Sects" of Judaism - unconscious envy manifested often as anti-Semitism. Kissinger (at age 98) was recently quoted has having said that except for the fact that he was born Jewish, he would have been an anti-Semite; he further allegedly said that being persecuted for over 2,000 years, the Jews must have done something wrong. Why is there this fuss over 250 (Muslim) Arabs dead in Gaza, when 300,000 (Muslim) Arabs died in Yemen and 500,000 (Muslim) Arabs died in Syria, very recently? Because it's "normal" for Arabs to kill one another, but not so when Israelis (Jews) kill Palestinians (Arab Muslims).

For Palestinians (Muslim Arabs) to die is to become a Glorious & Honorable Martyr - thanks to Allah; to live is be Humiliated (under the yoke of Israeli "Occupation").

That's why the Peace & Economic Relations with the Wealthy Arab Gulf States will contribute to an Israeli "Victory." The economic plight of Palestinian and Israeli Arabs will improve thereby (Trump's legacy). And it is hard to stay "humiliated" when one lives well or wealthy.
