I would suggest that it is a way to wage war that takes a very long range view indeed and a devastatingly powerful one. History clearly teaches that in conflict a minority can hold a majority in check, but only for relatively short periods of time. Given sufficient time and no "ultimate" solution from the Jewish side there will only be a more or less Palestinian state in what we now call Israel.
For an idea of this works read "The Mote in God's Eye" by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle.
