1. Just to start two solutions
Marcelo ,   Frankfurt   (04.04.08)
1) erradicate huzbullah completelly 2) erradicate the country that hosts hizbullah and supports it... In case hizbullah attacks any jewish institution, or kills any single person as "revenge" there will be a "revenge" back...no sinlge arab will be free to move....
2. Air Plane security
millicent ,   Israel   (04.04.08)
I remember a few years ago flying into Amsterdam's Shippol airport and seeing guards armed with assault rifles to meet El AL Passengers, and when we left the same thing in reverse as well as seeing armed guards outside the plane as we were loading, I felt safe and secure! I think all nation's airports should have this protection for all airlines especially those airports in countries where terrorists have an easier time getting into. Remember the 9 11 terrorists did not target Israeli airlines but American ones,and the hijackings of the 70's and 80's also were of non Israeli planes,so this added security should be afforded to all airlines flying out of countries like Turkey.Egypt,Cyprus etc. The terrorists want to kill everyone not just the Israelis or Jews from other countries!
3. It's a shame...
Elianah ,   London   (04.04.08)
While I fully understand the reason for their presence and appreciate the fact that local police are willing to guard El Al passengers, it's a shame that in this world you have to have armed protection just to check in to certain flights.
4. Yesterdy in UK-8 Terros went on trial for attempting 7plane
Alan ,   SA   (04.04.08)
suicide attacks SIMULTANEOUSLY with those fluid mix explosives .It was to occur on all planes bound for USA and Canada (Air Canada)in August 2006 . THATS WHY WE ARN'T ALLOWED LIQUIDS IN OUR HAND LUGGAGE ANYMORE). They were going to blow up all 7Airliners within a minute once they were all in the air (after the last one had taken off from London Heath Row)

IERGLIB DRAWDE   (04.04.08)
" erradicate the country that hosts hizbullah and supports it..." ALONG WITH THOUSANDS OF JEWS USED AS HUMAN SHIELDS TO PROTECT CRITICAL STRATEGIC AREAS, THAT ARE NOT ALLOWED TO LEAVE THE COUNTRY ? THINK AGAIN !
6. Why is poor peaceloving defenceless little Israel targeted?
Chanalau, Tova ,   Lonfon, UK   (04.04.08)
Such a mystery - what could Israel possibly be doing that provokes all this hatred? You don't suppose it could be something to do with occupying other peoples' land and stealing their water could it?
7. more can be done if the politicians take an interest
zionist forever   (04.04.08)
We are not allowed keyring size pocket knives or even nail files or on some airlines which is more about knee jerk reactions rather than stopping any serious threat but we still serve duty free bottle of alcahol both onboard the flight and in the duty free stores. A broken glass bottle can be a very effective weapon. Foreign aviation bodies may not have yet licensed missle deflecting systems but surley Israels aviation bodies could be ordered by the government to aproove of such systems that way at least while in Israeli territory where the main threat is the planes can be defended. The airlines need to be given authrosation to protect themselves before a terrorist does get lucky and other security issues need to be addresed, Also instead of shaking hands with Abbas and reducing security in certain areas in the interest of the so called peace process why doesnt Olmert stop trying to be politcly correct and so ordering the end of profiling at airports. Airport security is not an area we should be messing around with for reasons of political correctness or wanting to be seen as not willing to discriminate against anybody.
8. ARAB SHAME , FAILURE, GUIDES HATRED TO ISRAEL
AVRUM ,   AVRUM   (04.04.08)
ARAB FAILURES AND SHAME IS A MOTIVATER FOR ARAB COUNTRIES TO DISTRACT FROM THEIR OWN MAJOR TYRANNICAL PROBLEMS ISRAEL IS TARGETED for being a MODERN, SUCCESSFUL country in almost every field. This is in spite of being continuously attacked by it's Arab neighbors. WITHOUT HAVING OIL, ISRAEL HAS SURPASSED AND SHAMED THE ARAB OIL COUNTRIES IN EVERY FIELD BY BEING A MODERN , FLOURISHING DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY. COMMENTS BY CHANALAU REVEAL SHAME, HATRED, PERSONAL FAILURE.
9. Defense of aircraft
Joe ,   Israel   (06.29.08)
What a baldfaced lie stating that a defense system has not been approved. It has been approved by other countries also. The only problem is the usual Israeli foot-dragging beurocracy and desire to not take any responsibility. Instead of mounting the system on the aircraft, they will wait until (G-d forbid) a tragedy occurs. Wake up Israel!
