Creative thinking? There's not a single creative thought in collective punishment. Here's a recent example....do you think this was the inspiration?
"The Germans applied the principle of collective responsibility in cities and villages. For every German killed by a Pole, 100-400 Poles were shot in retribution. In Lublin, the Germans wiped out the entire village of Jozefow for the death of one German family."

How did this tactic work out?
It will end the same way for Israel as it did for this nation.
