Israel has a secret weapon.
Yes, it does.
Commonsense [and virtue], vs. a blind, cruel, and 'self-serving' hatred - of his brother and sister.
The collective intellect of the leadership of Hamas, Taliban, Hezbollah, Iran's mullah's, Boko Haram, etc [inspired by the incoherent pronouncements contained within the Koran, and ISLAMIC 'holy' texts],
vs.
the influence upon individual Israelis, of the wisdom contained within the Tanakh [the Hebrew Bible].

Deuteronomy 30:3
That then the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath scattered thee.
Numbers 24:14
And now, behold, I go unto my people: come therefore, and I will advertise thee
what this people shall do to thy people in the latter days.
15 And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:
16 He hath said, which heard the words of God, and knew the knowledge of the most High, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:
17 I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of
Sheth.
18 And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession for his enemies;
and Israel shall do valiantly.
"...and destroy all the children of Sheth."This can also read as
"...and destroy all the children of tumult."i.e.
All of the children of confusion, disorder, and violence. .....the children of rebellion ?
Psalms 108:13
Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
Zephaniah 3:8
Therefore wait ye upon me, saith the LORD, until the day that I rise up to the prey: for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine indignation, even all my fierce anger: for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.
Isaiah 40:5
And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.
6 The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field:
7 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass.
8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.
Isaiah 46:8
Remember this, and shew yourselves men: bring it again to mind, O ye transgressors.
9 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,
10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:
11 Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it.
12 Hearken unto me, ye stouthearted, that are far from righteousness:
13
I bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not tarry: and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory.
"....and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory."Poetry, for the soul of man.
Holy scripture.
