It would be really nice if all cross-border hatred was isolated in one theater where it could easily be dealt with, but that's not the case.

If the Six-Day War was any indication, they have that option any time they choose to exercise it. But it's doubtful they'd ever be able to hold the peace even if they could win the wars that way. Israel didn't survive by being brash and careless... they're not the United States. One mistake and they'd be wiped from the planet, at least until World War 3.
