31. Israel Pro Active
Jim ,   Jackson WY   (11.01.11)
I hope this article rings true. Someone has got to finally recognize that this Muslim threat is not going to go away. Now we see Al Qaeda flags flying over Libya. The Arab Spring is turning into islamic hell fast,
32. #29 Re: why Germans
steven ,   NJ USA   (11.01.11)
America Builds Nuclear power subs and never gives that away. Israel does not need that. Plus the Germans are giving it to them as part of the foreign aid. Israel is improving on a non-nuclear capable sub that German's sold them. Just like Israel improved the f16's (look at the F-16i)
33. And they complain about Iran?
James Forrestal ,   palestine illinois   (11.01.11)
Why does the world not ride Israel's arse over their nuclear weapons AND over their refusal to sign the non-proliferation treaty? If Israel can stomach what it does to the Palestinians, why should anyone on Earth feel safe while Israel develops ICBM's? We should ask ourselves if the Israeli's consider anyone human if they have something that Israel wants. The Lavon affair, the King David Hotel, the Liberty, the ethnic cleansing of Palestine, and boasts by Israeli leadership about how "Jews control America" all paint a picture of a State propelled by engineered crises and prejudicial treatment (via coercion or complicity) in virtually all mass media. And, to add insult to injury, brainwashed and ignorant Americans are probably paying for it all, including the costs of destroying Israeli's regional enemies under any false pretense hallucinated by a Zionist think-tank. If one were objective in weighing the facts, one would conclude that recognition of the Statehood of Israel was the single biggest and most expensive mistake the USA has ever made. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcY65DAWsw4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ooTKpGGlU3Q&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL "...no group in this country (USA) should be permitted to influence our policy to the point it could endanger our national security."
34. Good Idea
Edward Boothe ,   Gulfport, MS USA   (11.01.11)
They better be getting ready the winds of war are blowing strong. They have always considered their nukes to be the last case scenario, and I am sure they would want to use them before Iran gets theirs thanks to Obama.

Don Schreiber ,   Missouri, US   (11.01.11)
We build the best submarines in the world, and we should provide them to Israel if they request them. We should provide the Israelis with anything they need to face down and defeat their enemies.It is the best foreign aid investment we could ever make, we aid ourselves as well. The enemies of Isreal are the enemies of the US and all that is good, decent, and civilized.

solomon ,   bklyn   (11.01.11)
It is my understanding that the US doesn't build diesel-electric submarines any more, and the nuclear ones they do build are much larger. Note that the German/ Israeli subs are diesel-electric. They could be 'nuclear' only in the sense of carrying nuclear missles. The phrase 'nuclear submarine' refers to the nuclear propulsion system. (see post #1)
38. Full of Hate
Dan Dietz ,   Any where but Isreal   (11.01.11)
The comments from the people of Israel on this page are filled with nothing but hate. Don't get me wrong i don't agree with the opinions of the other side either, but i can see why so many people are sick of hearing both sides cry like little children. BOTH sides are wrong and act like savages. It worries me that either side would be allowed to develop a nuclear program as they cannot even act like civilized human beings. The people posting hate are NO better than the people they are denouncing.
39. To 23
sipahi ,   Istanbul   (11.01.11)
What "fleet" are you talking about?
40. wake up!
Chris ,   Fayetteville, USA   (11.01.11)
Are you kidding?? A nuke deployed on an area the size of Isreal can not be obsorbed w/out near total destruction! Do you think the world would then say that Isreal was in the "right" afterwards? The world will never side w/Isreal no matter what! Isreal will eventually come out on top though. Wait and see...God Bless Isreal!!!
41. submarine photo
Mark Rogers ,   Phillipsburg, NJ USA   (11.01.11)
Just for the record, if the photo in this story is supposed to be Israeli, Israel has no "nuclear submarines." They are diesel-electric boats.
42. Israeli nuclear upgrade
MarineOne ,   Chicago,Il   (11.01.11)
WHY does Israel need intercontinental ballistic missiles? Do the plan on attacking the USA? I thought most of their enemies were within 1000 miles. Go figure. Nuclear equipped Israeli subs are a risk to the entire globe. Disarm the entire middle east before they start WWIII and end up killing us all...!
43. Full of hate
Robert Makoi ,   Kirakira, Solomon Is   (11.01.11)
Dan Dietz, please say that to Iranian President, Mr. Ahmedinejad and Hamas Leadership - then you would know better.
44. head of snake
SF2OAK ,   Oakland, USA   (11.01.11)
Do it Israel- cut off the head of the snake, Iran- then you think hamas or hezbollah will be a bother, like flies on an elephant's ass.
45. #42
Plurb ,   SSF,USA   (11.01.11)
What rock have you crawled out from under in your dirty PJs? Did you really expect Israel to lie down and die. Israel's enemies are further than it's borders get it! Prior to 9/11 I used to think everyone should own an ICBM w/a nuke. I mean as US taxpayer I'd like to see the results of my family's tax dollars. You don't really believe in $4K toilet seats do You? I certainly don't see improved highways or roads!
46. #38
Don Schreiber ,   Missouri, US   (11.01.11)
The enemies of Israel are the ones filled with hatred and malevolence. That hatred and malevolence towards the Jews and the State of Israel will be their undoing. Don't make it OUR undoing. Check your history. Wise up.
47. Self-Defense
mike ,   Arizona USA   (11.01.11)
What Israel does it does in the name of legitimate self-defense. It threatens no neighbor that does not threaten it. Israel and Iran do not belong on the same scale of moral equivalence. It is ridiculous to equate Iran's desire for dominance and support for terror, suppression of internal dissent, with Israel's struggle to survive.
48. No Iraq nukes, that's a lie
Eddie ,   Seattle, Wa.   (11.01.11)
Never was any nukes in Iraq. If so, I'd like to know where they were. I was in Iraq, I never even heard of nukes being found, it was an excuse to go in to Iraq so the bankers and Halliburton/US Government could make some money.
49. Bravo twice for Germany!
stram daggholi ,   Arizona, USA   (11.01.11)
My late great aunt would be amazed today to see Germany and Israel today! Not only is Germany supporting Israel by selling it high tech submarines, it also is standing tall in UNESCO and is one of only fourteen countries voting to NOT admit the Arab terrorist Philistines. Those that bless Israel will be blessed; Those that curse Israel will be cursed;
50. Israel's latest threat to peace
Ira ,   Los Angeles, CA   (11.01.11)
This shows that Israel wishes to dominate the middle east and blackmail Europe into voting against a Palestinian state.
51. What's the point?
Jeremy ,   Canada   (11.01.11)
Israel neither has the Jewishness nor the balls to actually use any of this. The way it will be going is that Israel will be turned into an International Socialist Welfare State without any of the historically Jewish lands because of their insane nature of catering to anti-Jewish "globalist" perversion and mass murdering Islamist terrorists. Israel should have ANNEXED all lands '67 and thrown out ALL the Muslims with their Communist/Socialist Supporters. Anyone whom actually studies Islam or the other aforementioned sociopolitical ideologies well understands that there cannot be any independent Jewish State as such would violate the laws of Islam as well the theology of Socialism/Communism.
52. Why Isreal needs ICBMs
Agrippa ,   Berlin, Germany   (11.01.11)
Why do they need ICBMs someone asked. Well, Indonesia is a muslim nation, and Russia and China are not very friendly to them either. Not to mention that North Korea sends tech and scientists to Israel's enemies on a regular basis. Israel should have had an ICBM fleet decades ago, so that they could tell the many nations who put long noses into their business to get off. If a full regional war against them begins (yet again), who among you can promise that Indonesia wont send millions of volunteers for Jihad? Can anyone guarantee the Pakistanis wont join in and maybe even nuke Israel? No-one can make such guarantees, but an ICBM fleet can ensure the enemy far away thinks twice about throwing in their lot with the other lunatics. In the eventuality that Muslim countries from afar decide to send troops or weapons, ICBMs can make sure they pay for such decisions dearly.

solomon ,   bklyn   (11.02.11)
Yes, ignore Ahmedinajad’s threats to annihilate Israel, backed up by a program to develop nuclear armed missles. Ignore that the arabs have begun all of the many, many wars in that area; a war against a country the size of NJ. Ignore Iraq's firing missles at Israel even though Israel was not attacking during the Iraq war. Ignore that Israel withdrew from Gaza and most of the WB and received rockets, mortars, suicide bombers, shooting at school buses...death, in return. Ignore Abbas stating that the "Pals" will never give up on their demands, even after a treaty. Ignore their continuing to teach their children to kill Jews. Ignore that in spite of all this Israel has never even threatened to use nuclear arms. As you do ignore all of the above, your posts are the posts of people who dare not open their eyes.
54. iraq nukes
artar flaherty ,   hyannis, USA   (11.02.11)
He's talking about "Rocking the Casbar"in 1980 Iraq. Go read a little history.
55. "Israel Can Do Nothing"
Steve Padgham ,   Tallahassee, FL, USA   (11.02.11)
Don't count on Israel doing nothing about Iran you complete moron!!!
56. DEFENSE
ONTIME ,   VACA/USA   (11.02.11)
When your outnumbered over 10-1 and your the only democracy in the middle east and the islamics want you removed becuase of their cult intolerance, it is best you arm yourself to the teeth as a reminder a good offense is the best defense. "Walk softly and cary a big stick."
57. Apologies to Israel & World for #33
Rebas Thgil ,   Columbus, USA   (11.02.11)
As you can see, we have a few nonsense-riddled people of which Illinois has recently produced more than its fair share. Please ignore such anti-Semitic idiotic tirades from James Forrestal and others. I am glad to read in this article that Israel is bolstering its defenses against all of its insane rabid dog enemies. Blessings upon Israel!

1. And what is Israel doing to the “Pals”? Here, the latest from Goldstone. He was there. You weren’t. http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4142242,00.html Forgive them for defending themselves. 2. Israeli leaders have never said, let alone boasted, that Jews control America. Simple enough: they don’t. 3. If any crises are engineered, they are engineered by the arabs. Iran threatens to annihilate Israel and is working towards the means of doing so. Hezbollah threatens Israel. Hamas tries to kill Israelis; many of them succeed. Abbas has stated that any “Palestine” will be judenrein. THIS is the ‘engineering’ you should be speaking of. 4. To add insult to injury, you are brainwashed to the point of being ignorant of even the basic facts. You speak under false pretenses, having hallucinations with your eyes and ears tightly closed. ‘Tis a shame you are not objective in weighing the facts; you ignore all facts. But that is to be expected of one who deals in fairy tales. And your post is one big fairy tale.
59. Why ?
jon ,   andover,oh   (11.16.11)
Why does Israel need a missle capable of hitting Tokyo or New York ??? The Jericho is capable of 10000 km . And I just finished watching the Jericho series on Netflix
