It's been tried before by parties way more brutal and clinical than the IDF. <BR/><BR/>The Romans fought religious semitic speakers for two centuries and found that it just didn't work the way they intended. Of course, in the end, it was the zealots who paid the ultimate price for their lack of subservience/rationality until their haggarist cousins took revenge many centuries later.
