31. Bullet costs less than a dollar and dead basij is the best
leo ,   usa   (06.10.11)
basij there is.
32. Oy vay - put me in charge and gimme a budget!
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (06.10.11)
Many of us don't see any problem at all. Any attempt at mass invasion over the border is against international law. When it comes from Syria or Lebanon - it is an act of war. Crikey, man! We're officially at war with those countries! So yes - if Arabs in Lebanon and Syria try to storm the border, it is indeed an act of war and we're allowed to legally shoot them under international law. But heck, even I don't want to butcher thousands of stupid Arabs who are turned into tools by the corrupt dictators Assad and Nasrallah. So put me in charge and I guarantee positive results. I've got the drawings on paper already for a double-fenced border with huge billboards in Arabic that face Lebanon and Syria (so far the Jordanians appear to be much more civilized and intelligent about all this). With oh, say 10 or 20 meters between the fences, there will be lots of land mines, a channel with a pipeline of imflammable liquid (kerosene or the like), The first fence will be electrified. I like 550 volts - which should give 'em a decent jolt but not kill them. The first fence will also have a dispersal pipes connected to tanks of tear gas and pepper spray, so that you don't have to fire grenades, just turn on the tap (heck, with a digital controller so you just push a button for the section of fence you want to spray). The second fence will have the same, only double. I was thinking of throwing in crocodiles too (using the Hamat Gader zoo as a breeding ground) but that would require a 3rd fence, since you don't want the crocs setting off the landmines. In any other country at war around the world, if masses of instigating aggressive people try to illegally storm your border and break into your country - of course they'd be shot! The answer is to shoot them, not to knuckle under to some wimpy idea that political correctness means we have to accept that they can break international law. No. International law says they are NOT allowed to storm the border and we are indeed allowed to shoot them. And this does mean shoot them en masse if that's what they do - it's an act of war and we're allowed to defend ourselves with lethal force.
33. I disagree
canada ,   canada   (06.10.11)
The world is getting tired of the whole arab spring. The last attempt gained international condemnation of Syria for their attempt to distract from their own killing fields. It will be the same this time, and the next and the next. Western funds are being pulled out and will continue to dry up.
34. Why bother
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (06.10.11)
Use lethal weapons instead. A few thousand land mines are very effective.
35. There should be consequences
David ,   Boston   (06.10.11)
It seems to me that the governments of Israel's neighbors should be held responsible for any confrontation at their borders. Isreal should let it be known that any new provocation at the border will be met with a military response. Such as a drone missle up Assad's posterior. That may persuade Assad to back off.
36. Non-lethal riot control
Mark ,   USA   (06.10.11)
An idea is that Israel should use pork infused blockade devices, that if someone tries to pass through without permission, it sprays a pork liquid on the perpetrator. I know that religious Jews also are forbidden pork, but for security reasons, this should be definitely looked at.
37. Border
Nearjew ,   Patzcuaro, MEXICO   (06.10.11)
Scatter pig shit along the border. Muslims will not come near.
38. How about...
Nick Sporek ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (06.10.11)
• Frozen falafels. • A big net with crazy glue on it • silly string crazy glue • A herd of pigs • A pack of dogs • Dump free porn on their side of the border • burn drugs in front of a fan and blow it their way • Host a Hossan Hosny concert nearby • Get a loud speaker and keep calling them to prayer. • invite them in and then transport them to Gaza. • put fake dead bodies with their flags on our side of the border. • Frozen paintballs • poison Ivy plants • big wall or pillar of fire • lots of lasers pointed in their general direction along with sound canons • leave free food there the night before drugged with viagra and laxatives • Make a casino specially for themas an entrance way to Israel. • pig part projectiles • pork fat canon spray • give them alcohol and send them home • Reflect sun light into their eyes with many big mirrors. Protesters are no longer protesters when they rush your border, then they are invaders. They can protest on their side of the border all they want, if they try to cross the line just shoot them between the eyes. Any country would do the same and rightfully so.
39. Use machine guns and mortars!
jason white ,   afula, israel   (06.10.11)
Stop them dead in their tracks. We do not need an invasion by armed or unarmed people. This is our land and we better defend it to the last of our enemies lives.. First thing to do is to fire barak as d.n\m. and replace him with a lover of Zionism and Jews.
40. re
Benjamin ,   Asia   (06.10.11)
Flashbombs too...and waters sprays with hot pepper... just to dissuade them.
41. Farmer John in LA would donate thousands of gallons of pig
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (06.10.11)
blood, you just have to fly it to Israel. Spray than on the demonstrators and see how long they stay around. I would guess, MORE effective than bullets.
42. Well, here's the thing
Moud Kieps   (06.10.11)
It doesn't HAVE to be non-lethal weapons. State sovereignty is more valuable than individual lives of non-citizens who breach sovereign borders.
43. spray them with pig slurry
mebosa ritchie ,   glasgow scotland   (06.10.11)
as good muslims they will not get to paradise if covered in pigshit. of course the muslims round the world will be angry but they'll be angry whatever
44. Good article. But i think that we'll come up with something
(06.10.11)
We Israelis are pretty clever. When we do, finally, recognize a threat and decide to fight it, we come up with pretty good and creative ideas. And I believe that's what will happen this time too.
45. #15: invasion where? to the Ottoman empire?
(06.10.11)
46.  FOR A HAPPY CURE...
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (06.10.11)
Cancer has to be treated from the beginning, with extreme remedies , from the BEGINNING .
47. Arab Proverb:Believe in"G"D" ...But... Tie up your donkey
Roland Seener ,   London England   (06.10.11)
48. 38
Z ,   Israel   (06.10.11)
Fantastic ideas. You forgot to add... - Ed Hardy t-shirt cannon - Dump cassette players (we don't use them anymore) - Jordanian citizenship easter egg hunt - Free ticket give away to the Mavi Maravara
49. Turn the border areas into QUICKSAND
Gobbo   (06.10.11)
Not deep enough to be lethal, but enough to trap the invading hordes.
50. Instead of land mines, bury hives containing killer bees
Gobbo   (06.10.11)
Under the patches of earth which DON'T conceal killer bee hives, bury pig remains. No matter where the invaders step, they'll either step on rotting pig flesh and defile themselves, or release a hive full of angry bees.
51. Simple, just electrify the fence
Nic ,   UK   (06.10.11)
and put up security wire, plant natural obstacles (there's an effective painfully prickly shrub that grows in the north that would be perfect)... just throw everything at them, including Barak brigade
52. Idea
sal ,   LA   (06.10.11)
Israel should tell the Syrian government that theres an anti-Assad protest near the border. That way Syria will kill all of the protesters and the world won't care. Problem solved.
53. its not the technology
Golan ,   Modiin   (06.10.11)
nonlethal weapons are on the market. There is one that makes rioters feel like their skin is burning. there is one that blinds them there is one that makes such noise that people can't stand it but technology is not the answer. We can post archers (I volunteer) to shoot rubber tipped arrows at protestors (or hunting tips, whatever the government will allow me) or we can use trebuchets. the only thing we need to concentrate on is protecting our border. Its important to humiliate those trying to cross. Its the humiliation which will keep them from coming back or others trying, or when someone tries to pay them to do it it would not be worth any price. I think archery is the way to go (with really really cheap arrows) because the circus media will focus on the "low tech" weapon, not the bumps the idiots will have on their foreheads.
54. Race against time to find non-lethal
Norway   (06.10.11)
Artillery shock grenades detonated in the air above the masses will be a real knock out to them!
55. There is another gas different from
jason white ,   afula, israel   (06.10.11)
tear gas as it cause those that inhale to be incapacitated and have projectile vomiting. But nothing beats a few canisters of napalm or white phosphorus bombs.Both are sure crowd pleasers.
56. #15 Jared
Phil ,   Ireland   (06.10.11)
Where were the borders of sovereign "Palestine" 70 years ago? Learn a bit of history and stop inventing lies.
57. to Oren (8)
tiki ,   belgium   (06.10.11)
"The World is not on our side".......... The World will 'never be on your side whatever you do. Ever heard of "responsability.......? *Those who 'wilfully send the masses, are responsable for that, (brainwashing people to go on an invading and maybe leathal mission). *Those who 'participate have made their choise and have to take 'their own responsability and consequence. (they should know that they put their life in danger, it's not a day to the beach). *Israel has 'it's own responsability, to protect 'it's citizens against these hysteric, brainwashed masses, who will have no problem, once inside Israel, to go on a 'killing spree, for that's what they have been tought since birth. Israel does NOT have the responsability to protect these people, 'their leaders do! To the question: "Kill or fold", the only answer can be 'kill, otherwise they will kill you, and the 'World that you are so worried about, will follow it on CNN & BBC & Al Jazeera and 'comment about it on Twitter & Facebook. Grow up!
58. Illegal entry
Madeleine ,   Rehovot Israel   (06.10.11)
Illegal entry into a country, with malicious intent is usually called an invasion when perpetrated by masses. So the army should take off its kid gloves and use live ammo, first at their feet, then shoot to kill or injure. Just what are we waitin for. We are protecting our borders, get it Mr World, Mr. U.N!! The problem is tha teurope and America have forgotten what it means to protect their borders and are now too busy fighting useless wars thousands of miles from their home shores, claiming that they're protecting the liberty of the indiginous populations, while their own poupulations are safe and snug at home.
59. give every single person a dose of water laced with
(06.10.11)
prozac. tranks, and other assorted lsd, thye will all lay down and enjoy the trip!!
60. Every TalkBacker That Defended the IDF Gunning Down
Doug ,   Rochester, USA   (06.10.11)
Hundreds of unarmed protesters, forgot two FACTS. 1. Golan Heights is Syrian sovereign territory. See UNSCR 242, 497 and 4th Geneva Convention 2. All those shot were not even in the Golan Heights. They were on the other side of the fence, per IDF spokesman when explaining why the IDF was unable to confirm the number of deaths and injuries.
