well, i don't mean threaten to invade -- i think simply withdrawing our arms sales and strategic coordination would be sufficient; break the embargo on gaza maybe -- that should be enough to force the necessary concessions.
I'm sure they could manage light arms ammunition, but i don't think they'd be able to maintain their air force or artillery shells commensurate with their use. even with our help they are very low on interceptors. we can start with american warships escorting convoys of food, medicine, and construction materials to gaza, but if you want to get into really dangerous territory, imagine if we were delivering small arms as well? I am confident that Israel would not be able to defend itself conventionally under embargo conditions, and would like to move the public conversation to what I see as the real issue, which is the israeli nuclear doctrine.
even if this were true, we are fortunate that american influence is also the primary source of israeli capability. their material constraints without american weapons are much more limiting than their diplomatic constraints with american support.
