If you're going to rule out force and persuasion, that leaves less attractive options, like building a really big wall.

Can we involve Berkeley's traffic department? They would propose building traffic circles, putting in planters, and otherwise impeding the flow of traffic.

And given the strength that Hezbollah has shown, it may not be an existential threat to Israel now but in another five years, and in conjunction with its allies, that may no longer be true.
If you mean nukes, I hear you. Otherwise, I don't know what you mean. If you look at the respective populations, resources, money, technology, etc., Hezbollah isn't in the same league. Hezbollah couldn't take out Lebanon's military, Lebanon couldn't take out Syria, and Syria couldn't stay in the same room with Israel.
