History has shown that Arabs are cowed by force (and their culture hasn't fundamentally changed since the last several times that was proven true)

I really don't know how many times there holy cities have been threatened, though. If your serious (which i don't think you are) people from both sides and beyon will be awfully mad at us for doing such an unbelievably blatant thing as destroying religous cities. Not to mention driving more people to radical causes that weren't already that way, because im very sure that you wont get anywhere by destroying bethlehem, the vatican, or mecca except gettin alot of people pissed off and totally radicalized.
Leveling cities that have no military stances isn't going to make us look like the most noble cause either. Bombing a holy city accomplishes nothing strategically. Doing something that radical would sway the moral timber to the other side far too quickly.
Plus you need to take into account the people who won't be too pleased with it accross the rest of the world (namely every single muslim/jewish/christian country on the planet)
I don't know how your theory of ultimate peace will come from a supercedingly violent act makes sense. The only thing I think it would do is piss off alot of people and push people further and further away from peace...
