1. Selling Iron Dome??
Floriane ,   Israel   (11.30.12)
Is Israel selling its soul to the devil? For money they Will jeopardize our security. Iron dome is the only Life savior and superiority on the Ennemy. This Country is going CRAZY! How long do we have to pay with lifes before they stop their stupid mistakes,focus on stupid élections and let the ennemy get stronger!!!!
2. Iron Shlome is a Joke....
Marco ,   Spain   (11.30.12)
It's just some Israeli politician's way of defrauding and bankrupting a pathetic illegal entity...
3. skepticism
Alberto ,   Milano   (11.30.12)
ENVY is a bad counsellor, dear mr. Richard M. Lloyd...
4. 2.
Gabriel ,   Leiden, Netherlands   (11.30.12)
Oh goodness, that's rich. With all the money you are shortly going to need from countries with far more prudent financial policies than yours, mine amongst them, I would keep my trolling trap shut about who's bankrupting who. To quote your King, who gets things right from time to time: ''por qué no te callas''. Numbnuts.
5. American Experts
Jerome ,   AKL   (11.30.12)
Yes we've heard this before. To identify oral cancer you are using a unit the size of a washing machine. I came up with a unit the size of a small cucumber. Your jealousy and protectionism is reflected in the endless correspondence with your patent office. Stop there! Iron dome saves lives. My oral cancer detection system too. The rest of the world has issued a patent, you are dragging your feet because it was not an American development.
6. Experts are Iron Dome competitors
Eli Gur ,   Tel Aviv Israel   (11.30.12)
The experts named in the New York Times article are both from Telsa Laboratories, which produces an anti-missile command system which competes with Iron Dome. Ynet should have checked before copying the article
7. give sderot civilians artilery to resist hamas terror!
blablaxperts nightma ,   germany   (11.30.12)
NY-Times is not serious. who are thous experts, no body has expert on this mater like the israelis. i prefer the orelicon, it schoots the missiles down with chep bulets and causes a lot of colateral damage in the anamys area. i do not understand why israel is confronting the missiles of hamas with missiles, i rather would give the civilians in sderot some artilery baterys for free use, as a kind of civilian resistance on hammas terror.
8. The expert MUST be anti-semite !
Ali ,   PALESTINE   (11.30.12)
9. Why do you prick the bubble it's second only to Krav maga
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (11.30.12)
Iron dome is for giving Israelis a false sense of security and boost courage and hearten Israelis just like Krav maga invented to overcome jewish characteristic cowardy. None of them are real, we cannot see Krav maga fighters can confront karate or kick box fighters.
10. Instead of complex mathematics look at the bottom line
meir elazar   (11.30.12)
According to the article HAMAS claims it launched 1400 missiles at Israeli citizens. It is totally amazing and inexplicable that nations that purport to be civilized don't rise in arms at SHEER TERRORISM AIMED AT US. Instead, through manifest anti-Semitism, they support the terrorists when Israel is the target. More people were killed during the same period in Syria and no one batted an eyelash. But when Israel is defending itself against 1400 terrorist missiles launched at Israeli citizens that somehow is okay in the minds of Arab and Moslem countries and European anti-Semites. But the end result of the war was that 6 Israelis were killed and approximately 160 Palestinian terrorists. Anyway you do the mathematics 1400 missiles were shot at Israeli targets and there were only 6 Israeli deaths. While each Israeli is precious to us the mathematics in strongly favor of Iron Dome and the results are clearly astounding.
11. To Tayfun #9.
Steven ,   Rockville MD USA   (11.30.12)
Tayfun, your nation is the biggest coward on the earth. The Turkish army killed more than one million unarmed civilian including babies, children, women, young and old, and by doing so, they were the first nation to execute a genocide even before the Japanese and the Nazis. A mark of shame that will remain on your cowardly nation forever.
12. Iron Dome
Brod ,   USA   (11.30.12)
It needs refining. Not bad for a small country to possess such technology.
13. classic american bluster
moseav   (11.30.12)
in the 91 battles with saddam, US produced bright flashes but hardly hit any of saddam's russian rockets. Now that israel has mastered defense, US casts doubt on the system. Under no conditions should israel sell any iron dome to russia, turkey, france, england and italy as it could be flipped to the arabs. The russians especially would want to built counters to it so do not let them have any whatever they want to pay for it. as for the US, yes you can selll it to them but be careful. Tommorrow they can flip to saudi arabia.
14. Iron dome
Jock ,   Csnada   (11.30.12)
Tayfun is projecting his own turkish insecurity. Jealousy ihas taken over hiz miserable life . Poor tayfun
15. Iron Dome
Bo Rööser ,   Varberg Sweden   (11.30.12)
I believe that statistics speaks for itself. Over 1400 rockets fired at Israel and 5 persons killed is a strong evidence for the effectiveness of Iron Dome.
16. The regular idiots #2 &#9
Ted ,   UK   (11.30.12)
I wonder how would you explain 1400 missiles, according to your heroes Hamas, and only 6 casualties ?? Either Hamas capabilities are totally useless, as you both idiots would probably won't admit, or Iron Dome is working....pick up your choice..
17. or is it
steve ,   usa   (11.30.12)
fifty cardboard tubes = hundreds fifty iron dome missles = millions maybe, maybe not, but money always seems to trump honor among thieves. nationalize profits.
18. No. 6 Eli is absolutely correct
Marco ,   Spain   (11.30.12)
I read the NYT report and the critics are the competition badmouthing a system that is functional and works.
19. shameful
Ilana   (11.30.12)
Shameful that American experts can drop down to such a low level. Everyone knows how successful Iron Dome, esp those in the south. Nothing to worry about, the truth will come out as always. They can pay for a few experimental launches, no biggie
20. "9"
Hansje   (11.30.12)
The more I read your comments, the more I'm convinced that you're a real turkey!
21. 9.
Gabriel ,   Leiden, Netherlands   (11.30.12)
Right. Your blabbering about sense of security would be somewhat more impressive if your government wasn't begging mine for the loan of our Patriot air-defense system for the Syrian border. What you need em for is beyond me, and you even want us to pay for it all, parasite. Perhaps you should consider quiting the talkback business and return to attending the Anatolyan swineherds.
22. More nonsense from the NYTimes
Tal ,   Jerusalem   (11.30.12)
Just another example of he New York Times' hatred of the Jewish state. The bottom line is well known to everyone - did those Hamas rockets just evaporate out of thin air? This is one more example of an effort to delegitimize Israel.
23. Experts doubted Arrow system as well.
Boris ,   USA   (11.30.12)
Not so much anymore since US is trying to sell it to India. I wonder why Israeli systems suddenly become very reliable as soon a co-productions deals with US are signed?
24. #2 a joke is the economy of your country
A Base ,   France Paris   (11.30.12)
marco a joke (un chiste) is the economy of your third world country , spain is not even capable to make good wine, not to mention hightech you are living at the cost of France and Germany as a parasite. we jews have more than 175 nobel laureates , tell me marico how many nobel laureates are spanish ??? stop trying to belittle jewish skills and genius.You don't stand a chance marico.
25. The NYT would say anything to damage Israel!
michael redbourn ,   Arad Israel   (12.01.12)
The NYT must hate the idea of Israel inventing something so good that might bring in a lot of cash from sales!
26. It's called "Truther-ism"
Tom W ,   USA   (12.01.12)
In America as soon as something out of the ordinary happens an obsessive cult emerges, the "Truthers". Truthers contest the official explanation of anything and conjure up fantastic conspiracy theories they call "The Truth". The most prolific Truther-ism is connected to the tragic 7/11 events in N.Y.C. It's an amalgam of pseudo-science, "expert testimonials", hostile politics, conspiracies, all intend to discredit an officially stated and widely accepted fact. It's not surprising that the successful Iron Dome hatched a new group of "Truthers" who will encompass all antisemites in their quest to belittle Israel.
27. Iron Dome
Steve ,   Denver USA   (12.01.12)
I was in Tel Aviv and sought shelter 6 times! I can tell you first hand Iron Dome works ...we witnessed and heard the interceptions of at least 4 . Iron Dome saved thousands of innocent lives.
28. Iron Dome an unqualified success
E. G. Marsch ,   Nahariya, Israel   (12.01.12)
My cousin in Beersheba told me they could hear Iron Dome knocking missile after missile out of the sky--and the missiles came in volleys of 10-15 because Hamas was desperately trying to get them through Iron Dome. A few did get through and caused injuries and damage. Without Iron Dome, Beersheba would have been Guernica and Israel would now be deep in Gaza, chasing terrorists in alleys. And no, Iron Dome does not bother downing rockets that are on their way to landing in empty fields.
29. Set up some Iron Domes near the New York Times and let...
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (12.01.12)
Obama's buddies in the Gaza Strip shoot at his News Organization for a few weeks. If the New York Times is still in circulation afterwards....then the Iron Dome project is a success. Maybe the USA plans an alternative system to sell everyone. Couldn't have any competition you know.
30. The proof is the low casualty rate.
Stephen in New York   (12.01.12)
