61. 47. IDF's weapons, a qustion to experts...
Michael ,   New Jersey, USA   (08.16.12)
Dear Frank, Even an expert would not give you a straight answer just to avoid from any one reading and getting some ideas. What Silverstein writes about Israel it can all be from a science fiction as a lot of things in the military today as we know. But what if Israel can follow with one maybe two or three of what Silverstein wrote? Israel did build many what we previously called science fictions in the technology field and military weapons. The answer to your question its all possible and it can be done. All we need to do is wait and see and you'll be suprised.
62. Silverstein was dupped, and he swallowed it hook and sink
Ze'ev ,   USA   (08.16.12)
This so called "document" is nothing more than a daydream posted by the admin of Fresh. Someone figured Silverstein would believe it was true and gave it to him, along with enough rope to hang himself. Him and his friends must be sitting back, eating popcorn, watching the whole circus go round and round.
63. History of High Treason! Hang Silverstein!

That Walter Mitty is alive and well.
65. There is only ONE reason why he is publishing this
Patriotic Israeli ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (08.16.12)
nonsense. He so hates Israel as do many Jews because Israel puts focus on Jews, something these haters of Judaism cringe in fear of, AND HE KNOWS ISRAEL CAN SUCCEED, which causes him to cringe even more. He wants Israel to quietly disappear, NOT ROAR LIKE THE LION THAT IT IS!

70. Richard Silver...what?
A.S ,   Tel Aviv   (08.16.12)
Seriously get a life, that guy must be very alone..
71. no clue
abraham ,   vienna   (08.16.12)
the guy has no clue and is only looking for attention. "an IDF officer"? which one? 15th row from the front? this blog is also politically motivated. period.
72. Richard Silverman shut up.
SNS   (08.16.12)
Richard Silverman shut up! You are endangering me and my children. How dare you. You are such a narcissist.
73. Silverstone is a fantacist with delusions of grandeur
Scott ,   USA   (08.16.12)

Ephraim ,   Rwanda   (08.16.12)
what a teeth-and-claws protection of Iran under the guises of "we can do it better than you". i hope open-minded/wise Israelis can see plain psychological warfare the US-administration has been waging against Israel since a couple of years or so. What seems to be "a friendly advise" is clearly a US-led campaign against the long and enduring future interests of the State Israel. In short, "there are no friends, but only interests". A friend of my enemy is my enemy! Those having their hearts tittering on the tips of their mouths, should behold for rougher bumps ahead! you have to come to terms with that reality you're shying away! fasten your belts ladies and gents! the landing is nearing!!! it's Netanyahu the senior who once said that "he worried more about the Jewish public than the outside world all combined." You're tying your own hands on yr backs while the so-called friends are mounting a malicious campaign to thwart your ultimate national interests (which is not theirs at all)!!!
75. Silverstein is joke with a lot of fantasy guess work

Silverstein is joke with a lot of fantasy guess work
76. Some tb actually believe this stuff?
rebecca ,   Modiin   (08.16.12)
It's not obvious that this guy has no credibility?
77. Richard who?
Nice Bloke ,   Rochdale, UK   (08.16.12)
Who is this US blogger and why does Ynet keep publishing articles about his fictitious blogs?
78. Silverstein is a nutter
Yael ,   Israel   (08.16.12)
Only people on the really really extreme far left take Silverstein seriously. As a fellow blogger who has had some encounters with Silverstein (though not since the Left left me) I find it simply laughable that someone would be gullible enough to write a newspaper article based on anything out of Tikkun Olam and Silverstein. I didn't take him seriously, for good reason, when I was on the Left.
79. #17
Israel   (08.16.12)
If "Richard Silverstein" is from rural Seattle area, then I bet its not his real name. His rantings sound just like Clif High from "Half Past Human", a known anti-semite and bitter Jew and Israel hater. I'll bet its him under an assumed name, and he WOULD have some inside sources.
80. I believe every word
alsky ,   toronto   (08.16.12)
not the first time I have read about this. I believe there is much truth to this article. Time will tell.
81. To: No. 2
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.16.12)
So? Take your trials and tribulations to the Islamic Republic of Iran. Plead your woeful case there. Better still, ask your so-called "leadership" why they fly around on private jets when you and your family have no shelters and no gas masks. I bet Abbas and Co. have well-stocked shelters and gas masks. Make them tell you why you do not. Ersatz "Palestinian" autonomy has been a real blast (pun intended), hasn't it? But it's what you wanted, so don't come crying to us. We really could care less about your plight. You have what you thought you wanted; make the best of it.
82. Silverstein should join Jdate so he'll be less uptight
Tomer ,   IL   (08.16.12)
He should learn to relax more
83. barking dogs don't bite.
charles ,   jerusalem   (08.16.12)
We see Iran and Israel barking at each other saying "hold me or I will bite him". Well, usually in this type of situation, there is no biting. In Israel the usual motto is:"if you have to shoot, shoot, don't talk!" But if the dogs stop barking and go silent suddenly, it may be a sign that this is it !
84. The article is largely correct ....
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.16.12)
.... except for one thing. The leak did not come from Israel. It came from the United States. Remember them -- the ones who profess to be Israel's great, loyal, trusted ally? Proves the old saying -- hold your enemies close; hold your friends closer. The United States under its current administration is no friend of Israel. In fact, it may well be the very worst of Israel's enemies. I hope the Jewish voters in the United States are paying close attention; especially in the swing states.
85. To Sarah B. #84
Frank ,   Zürich, Switzerland   (08.16.12)
Your words: "Remember them -- the ones who profess to be Israel's great, loyal, trusted ally?" Does words are just spoken, because there is a jewish lobby that is to powerfull in the us. But since people like you think peace can be forced on someone, I'm not surprised that you also believe that friendship can be forced on someone else. I wonder if your boyfirend is your partner by choice or by force.....
86. You know what a drug mule is?
Ambrosine Shitrit ,   London UK   (08.16.12)
Well Silverstein is an information mule. Imagine needing something put out in the world that you want talked about, well that's what Silverstein is for. Someone obviously needed that info out, so they use Mr Mule, and old Richard couldn't wait to open his rather odious Gob. Funny thing the media lapped it up. Eee awwww
87. dont you just love self promoting armchair generals?
zionist forever   (08.17.12)
Some idiot blogger dreams up a plan of attack, how its going to be done, what weapons will be used and then without any evidence to back up his claim writes a blog, claims its from an official document and hey presto he is all over the media. I would love to know why an IDF officer gave secret documents to a mr nobody blogger in the US, whats so special about this guy other than he obviously loves himself. Fact is this armchair general who thinks war is a bad idea, doesn't like Bibi & Barak so he comes up with this secret source high up in the Israeli military who has given him the honour of being the one to report it all. Actually not a bad plan of attack if it was possible but i doubt Israel has all the weapons he says would be used and you don't just shut down all of Iran with a single computer virus at the touch of a button. With computer viruses you don't take aim and fire like you firing a missile and it takes time to infect systems it doesn't all happen on cue. Shame idiots like this get so much attention from the press when they should be left with their blogs.
88. Dozens?
Steve-in-Iowa ,   Iowa, USA   (08.17.12)
Israel may well launch dozens of missiles along with an airstike, but how many missiles and rockets are they prepared to defend themselves against during retaliation?
89. Blogger: Israeli attack in Iran will include, missiles, assa
Robin ,   Ohio   (08.17.12)
Have a good one, sirael! Go for it! Just don't expect, Americans go defend you. We're tired of fighting your wars. Take the Samson Option, he may had died right away, you it's going to be a long, painful death from radiation, esp. for your children. What!? You think the Iranians don[t have you in their sights! THey're not alone, either. They have Russia, China and N.Korea to defend them.
90. Since when Israel is allowed to threaten openly like that?
Peter   (08.18.12)
This is really weird. If another leader or country is to say or intend to do like that, wow.... But why is Israel allowed to do so? ..cause they own USA? ..and USA is polilceman of the world? No as far as the world is concerned, Israel made itself pariah on doing so and really no one respects Israel anymore.
