Depends. How much has Israel thought about winning the peace?
One could have made the argument that Germany and Japan in 1945 were broken societies full of people willing to support mass murder and genocide and that there were plenty of Nazi/Imperial Japan molecules floating around both societies.

And there were lots of those 'molecules.' In Germany, the occupying powers spent four years trying to deNazify the country - the state was dissolved, the country was run by foreign governments, and they instituted courts to try root out all the folks that had been involved with Nazism to any material degree. Until they got distracted by the Cold War, anyway - so they didn't get every 'molecule.' Not sure Israel has the same capability in Gaza as the Allies in postwar Germany, or the same Marshall Plan willingness to create a rebuilt state that the Gazans get to run for themselves when it's all done.
