2. Start with courtmarshals ,then ten yrs in prison
jason white ,   afula,israel   (04.12.08)
Enough with these stupid ass wipes. if someone is so moronic as to release security details and pictures,they deserve to sit in prison.That is treason!
3. CNN trying to make it appear IDF is anti-free speech?
Global Citizen ,   Israel & USA   (04.12.08)
The headline all day yesterday (and now under Tech) is "Israel: Facebook a security threat". Just imagine what all the easily incited shmoes who just surf headlines could do with this.
4. SPOILED CHILDREN OF THE RULING ELITES
SERGIO ,   ISRAEL   (04.12.08)
WHO HAVE LOST ALL MORALS AND HAVE LOST ALL SENSE OF SURVIVAL, OF PATRIOTISM, AND ARE VICTIMS OF THE PEACE MANTRAS OF THE NEW FALSE RELIGION, THAT IMMORALLY SAYS "PEACE, PEACE ABOVE EVERYTHING". THESE ARE THE ONES WHO GET HIGH SECURITY CLEARANCE.
5. Stupid people!
Chaya ,   Bat Yam, Israel   (04.12.08)
Facebook is crawling with enemies of Israel!!
6.  IDF means Incompitent Depresing Fools
zionist forever   (04.12.08)
Is there no end to IDF lack of security over clasified information. We have computers lost or left in the back of cars, we have people talking about classified information now we have secret information put on Face Book. Google Earth is the terrorists sattlaite and Facebook is their access to inteligence. The IDF has learned all about the internet today thats where they like to do their planning. The IDF has become a negligent organistion and it needs to change now otherwise it doesnt matter how many advanced weapons Israel has there wont be any secret tactics so the enemy will know everything in advance and plan on how to defeat you.
7. Beyond Nuts
Adina Kutnicki   (04.12.08)
Idiots of the highest order. Those serving in security positions who reveal info on the internet-or anywhere else- are missing more than a few screws.
8. #6...Not ALL IDF!
rachel ,   chutz4now   (04.13.08)
I think you had better change your tone. Not all IDF are THAT stupid! Better to have or army and work to improve it, rather than to go back to the "good ole days" under R"zl Jordanian, Brits or Otoomans!
9. how do we know this article is true?
avi ,   jerusalem   (04.13.08)
it wouldn't be the first time the shin bet arranged to have a story released something in the media. how does Ynet know this? What sources are quoted in this article? How many of your went on Facebook after reading this to go and see what secrets you could find? And what's with the shirtless guy in the photo? Oh well, if Ynet says so, then I guess it has to be true.... not.
10. Demise continues: No discipline, no security, no state
dbroc ,   Chicago   (04.13.08)
Like they actually have to be told this?! Security apparatus, gov't, IDF all in a shambles. I understand why Ahmahandjob is so bold in speaking out... because he probably CAN get way with blasting Israel. It is a shame... our grandfathers' cried and prayed for Jerusalem for millenium, and in two generations we've pissed it away. God help us.
11. Defense Ministry should punish ..
Christy ,   Boston, US   (04.13.08)
those who did this. At the very least, they should be transferred to some other units. One assumes that security people SHOULD know what information can be divulged & what can't. If they DON'T know, there's a big problem.
