You, and others, might want to read the whole article. I think it describes the dominant Israeli mindset and strategy perfectly:

An excerpt:

"The strategy of conquest Jabotinsky goes on to propose flows logically from this alleged aspect of human nature. Colonization, he insists, must be pursued in a manner that results in an "iron wall which the native population cannot break through. This is, in toto, our policy towards the Arabs." What does Jabotinsky mean by an "iron wall?" For him it is not just a defensive concept. It is primarily an offensive one. For Jabotinsky, the Zionist policy should be one that forces the Palestinians to concede that there is no hope for them to be able to displace the Zionists and establish their own country. Only at that point is agreement between Zionists and Palestinian Arabs possible-wholly on Zionist terms. "Only when not a single breach is visible in the iron wall, only when the extreme groups lose their sway, and influence transfers to moderate groups," only then will the Palestinians accept their fate. Israeli governments, admittedly under an ever adaptive propaganda cover, have been following the Iron Wall policy for the last 61 years."
