1) Do not assume that the world will, must or should dictate to Israel, when, where and how it will stop the conflict.
USA, USSR and the UN intervened during the previous Arab-Israeli wars from 1948-1973, and decided to pressure Israel only when the "world community" saw and realized that Israel's victory was a fait accompli - an irreversible accomplishment.
This time, Israel is stronger, much stronger. Israel needs to completely tear Lebanon apart and flatten everything and everyone to the ground in that country. Israel should make it clear to Lebanon, Hezbollah and the rest of the world, that when and if Hezbollah attempts to attack Israel in a Lebanon War Nr 3, Israel will completely annihilate Lebanon from the face of the Earth.
On top of that, Israel must apply an extremely aggressive and assertive foreign policy, which includes threatening to destroy the oil fields in Iran, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf States, or sabotaging the Aswan Dam in Egypt or other important infrastructures in the Arab and Moslem states. I can assure you that Israel's enemies will get the message, but currently Israel's leadership lacks the will to do it.
Israel must signal to the entire humanity, that Israel won't be pushed, rushed, intimidated, blackmailed or threatened. Israel will finish the job this time. If individuals, NGOs, governments, states and nations declare wars of annihilation against Israel, they themselves will be annihilated.
That MUST be Israel's relentless and uncompromising policy. Israel should also, to the realistic extent possible, if it serves Israel's best interests and national security, threaten and blackmail the very countries threatening, blackmailing and pressuring Israel, when Israel's victory is a fait accompli.
2) Since IDF and the top political echelon in Israel are aware of the dangers facing our country, I suggest Israel makes it impossible for Iran and Syria to transport weapons from Syria into Lebanon. How? Use your imagination. Either wiping out the Iranian, Syrian and Hezbollah forces completely, or destroying each truck from the air, destroying the roads, setting their forests on fire, punishing Syria and Iran with a heavy and extensive Dresden bombing strategy, or destroying their drinking water, food supplies and electricity, or randomly choosing extremely vital military and civilian infrastructure in Lebanon and Syria, until their will to fight has ebbed away.
3) Make sure to strenghten Israel's civilian and military infrastructure and military resources - including number of tanks, fighter jets, WMDs, and even handguns, bullets and ammo, to make sure,that Israel can last and endure longer conflicts if necessary.
4) Talk less, and act more. IDF has the miitary sources which Israeli civilians don't. Thank you for informing us, but make sure you and IDF get the job DONE THIS TIME!
