Anyway, I think your analysis is interesting. My new idea is for Israel to set up microincentives related to peace and prosperity: e.g. from the start of every morning, Gaza gets as much electricity as it wants, but as soon as the first rocket is fired, reduce electricity to the restricted level for the rest of the day. That incentivizes Gazans to put social pressure on each other not to fire rockets.
The long-term goal would be to progressively remove all aspects of the blockade, and eventually give Gaza the status of an independent state, as peace-related milestones are met. (Note: I personally am uncertain whether I’m on board with any blockade, but I’m trying to brainstorm plans that would be acceptable to the Israeli electorate, once things have cooled down at least.)
