I fowarded my suggestion to the State of Israel:

Complete the Wall of Division, and allow no "Palestinians" to cross it
into Israel for any reason whatsoever.

Let "Palestine" make it on its own, or with the help of its Muslim Arab
neighbors and friends.

Under such circumstances, how long would it take for the "Palestinians" to
kill off each other?

Well, those aren't the circumstances, are they? Even after the
withdrawal, Israel will continue to control Gaza's borders, coastline,
and airspace. It reserves the right to undertake military operations at
will. Israel will continue to tax Gaza products entering Israel, but will
not tax Israeli products entering Gaza, and will continue to collect
custom duties on any foreign products entering Gaza.

Under those circumstances, Gaza doesn't stand a chance. It sounds to me
like Israel is setting up a Palestinian prison, not an independent country.
