That is kind of how occupation works? But that was not my point. My point is that if you wage an aggressive war, you deserve being occupied. Like Germany, Japan, Serbia or Iraq. And the way out of occupation is to convince your neighbours that you are not willing to attack again. Otherwise they will have no other choice than to keep you in a state that you can not attack again. And that is a miserable state indeed.
There is no comparison between aggressive imperialist world powers like Germany and Japan, on the one hand, and an almost powerless people living under foreign military occupation, like the Palestinians.
What you're doing here is just giving a justification for unlimited military repression of the Palestinian people by Israel. It reminds me of the phrase, "The beatings will continue until morale improves." The Palestinians will take their beatings until they completely prostrate themselves before their oppressors and accept what they're being offered: nothing.
