It's much easier to let Israel take care of its own mess

Many superior military powers throughout history who take territory evict the prior residents. Witness the Russians in Ukraine (an informal eviction, admittedly, but non-Russians certainly got to moving over the past few years). Are you really hoping that Israel tells the remaining West Bank Palestinians to start walking toward Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, or Jordan, and don't look back? Because that would be one time-honored way for Israel to "take care of its own mess."
