Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.22.11)
You are crazy! Have you any idea how many countries are chomping at the bit to acquire Israeli military materiel? And don't worry about Israel's finances. Don't you enough of a headache trying to keep Europe from sliding into complete bankruptcy?

our true friends! They also have oil we can purchase from them--a win-win situation for us both!
18. #1 - would all that really matter
William ,   Israel   (12.23.11)
if (or when) Turkey hands the technology to our enemies who then attack us? At the end of the day, security of Israeli citizens is the primary responsibility of the State, and we can easily cover the $141mm income from some other project. If demanding to be treated as an equal in this neighbor is considered "hostile", then so be it. We are not the Muslims dhimmis.

Chatich   (12.23.11)
Good idea, you guys should build your own turkish electro-optic intelligence systems for your jets. When you're ready with those, my great-great-grandchildren can check their history books to see how they compare to the ones we have today. I'll leave them a note. Good luck...
29. Smart move!

30. #4 Anton
Iranian Jew ,   LA   (12.23.11)
A careless friend is worst than a real foe. That is what Erdogan and Co. are at this point. They are playing the Iranian monkey and Israel at the same time. You are enjoying the trade between Israel, but at the same time don’t mind helping our enemy. You know what, no, thanks! We know how to make money regardless of your economy. Remember, Jews are always one step ahead of you. Your blind ignorance is what’s keeping you behind us and is the reason why we Jews are also disliked. Keep up the hate and jealousy! Let’s where we’ll both be in 30 years from now.
