Israel, make sure those weapons do not fall into the hands of your enemies!
2. Please use some good car dealers
je ,   beverly .hills ca   (07.12.13)
everyone know, no one beats an israeli car dealer, they will be selling tanks with no gas tanks for billions
3. Perhaps
(07.12.13)
Satmar and NK could be drafted and given a personal number which would then make them military property and they could also be then put up for sale.
4. scrap metal
john ,   toronto   (07.12.13)
The only use for such weapons is for scrap metal.Israel should never have invested in such things.
5. How much?
Koose E Mack ,   NY USA   (07.12.13)
These can come in very handy to beat rush hour traffic!
6. #1 I wonder
Ivor Evenbiggergun   (07.12.13)
if Israel will return any monies raised to the American taxpayer who after all originally purchased the equipment for the IDF
7. Israel -
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (07.12.13)
- Have You taken Gog/Japan and Magog/China into acount ? Ezekiel chap.38-39. Arn.Sweden.
8. Good, get rid of the old stuff.
Dror ,   Haifa, Israel   (07.12.13)
Israel needs to build an engine factory. We need to design and build engines and engine parts for all of our tanks and planes.
9. Tanks for the offer, but no tanks!
Carl ,   USA   (07.12.13)
Looking for someting with better gas mileage (but off-road abilities could be great fun).
10. ARAB ARMIES
tom ,   new york   (07.12.13)
Does one seriously think that if Egypt, Syria and Jordan attack they won't use all the armor at their disposal while Israel will have drones . If Israel is in such dire straights why not cut social benefits to Israelis who refuse military service such as Arabs & Chareidim , make the PA pay for hospital services , water & electricity . As for the Chareidim it's obvious only 10% at most are scholars . If American Yeshivas can combine a Torah education with University education surely Israel can require math , English,to be incorporated into Chareidi schools , unless they think that they are intellectually inferior to American Yeshiva students.
11. WAY THIS CRAZY WORLD IS GOING TODAY...I TAKE A TANK & JET..
Esther ,   Selkirk Canada   (07.12.13)
DELIVERY AS SOON S POSSIBLE PLEASE GOD SAID I COULD HAVE IT FREE WITH A FULL TANK OF GAS SHABBAT SHALOM !!

(07.12.13)
the mekava tanks are purely israeli designed, manufactured and financed.
13. #6, Would you write the same drivel on an Egyptian forum?
Jake   (07.12.13)
Who paid for the F-16's that are now being supplied to the Egyptian army? H y p o c r i t e.
14. Response to #3
Dan S.   (07.12.13)
The Neturei Karta and Stamar should be used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the weapons in question. It will show how effective they are against enemies and traitors.
15. #4, Say what?
Jake   (07.12.13)
One of the largest tank battles in history was on the Golan Heights during the 1973 war. The weapons you wish Israel didn't have were the only means of stopping 1260 Syrian tanks from overrunning the Galilee.
16. #4
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (07.12.13)
Even Canada invests in such things as they should. What would you suggest a country use to protect itself? Bows and arrows?
17. ONLY IDIOTS BELIEVE THAT TECHNOLOGY CAN REDUCE BRUTE FORCE
stude ham   (07.12.13)
this is like the belief that the maginot line would hold back and totally defend against the huns. incidentally... did anyone I the idf ever bother to think about why the American, british and other advanced military powers continue to wield brutally huge pieces of destructive armor?
18. Should Sell Well In California As The Ultimate SUV

19. #15
mark ,   ca   (07.12.13)
Jake, do your homework. It is not even in the top ten. The largest one was under the city of Kursk ( about 6000 tanks) and the rest against nazis at WWII. Regarding 1973 at the Golan Heights, yes, it was hot...participated in this one...
20. #13 Jake
Ivor Evenbiggergun   (07.12.13)
The United States taxpayer provides Egypt with military hardware in return for the Egyptian military not to attack Israel. In the longer run it saves money As for Israel, they have cost us billions in lost trade and unnecessary wars
21. In defense of #6, unlike israel
American Vet   (07.13.13)
Egypt never attackek Americans. We remember the USS Liberty,, Lavon Affair and five-dancing-israelis
22. #20 ivor
solomon ,   bklyn   (07.13.13)
Which were the unnecessary wars? Not one American was in any of Israel’s wars. And 9/11 happened because of who we are, not because of Israel. The more you post, the blinder you get.
23. @20

Learn English, troll.
26. To #15, tanks are obsolete
Larry ,   Northridge, usa   (07.13.13)
Modern weaponry has made heavy armor obsolete. "brilliant" weapons which once fired or launched, seek out and destroy armor have made large armored formations obsolete. The U.S. used these weapons once in the second gulf war, and destroyed a large iraqi tank formation in minutes, with no American casualties, and no significant American personell involvement. Like the battleship, the tank has become a relic of wars past.Accurate smart weapons have changed the nature of war, and made mobility and stealth, and radar jamming technology the effective tools of modern warfare. Look how Israel is bombing Syria without detection or any opposition. Today, one MLRS launcher, with smart projectiles can wipe out an armored regiment in seconds. Be thankful that Israel has recognized this early, and adapting, and not resisting reality like so many generals always do.

do tell us, genius, WHICH WARS DID THE USA FIGHT ON BEHALF OR FOR ISRAEL????????? WW1? WW2? VIETNAM WAR? KOREA WAR? AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE WAR? CIVIL WAR? SPANISH AMERICAN WAR? MEXICAN AMERICAN WAR? WAR IN IRAQ? WAR IN AFGHANISTAN? WAR IN IRAQ WAS FOR OIL AND TO DEPOSE SADAM HUSSEIN IN RESPONSE TO 9/11 WAR IN AFGHANISTAN WAS IN RESPONSE TO BIN LADEN BEING THE PLANNER AND EXECUTER OF 9/11. so, genius????? which wars did the usa fight for israel in the middle east or anywhere around the globe. you said all american wars were for israel. WHICH ONES FROM THE ABOVE WERE FOR ISRAEL?????????? i bet you can't even name a single one. israel always fought its own defensive wars and not a single american soldiers' foot print was ever in the middle east and not a single american soldier ever fought for israel or died for israel. you are truly an imbecile of the highest order. clueless, stupid to the core and completely moronic. hameed aboughaze, iranian los angeles, usa
28. It's about time. It is not a lie...but...
Israeli 2   (07.13.13)
budget concerns is not the reason for the sale. It is only the excuse. It is always good to make money out of something you do not need anymore. The reason is that Israel is getting into lasers, satellites, space ships and inter-dimensional weaponry. So, yeah...why not a garage sale once in a while?
29. Those IDF tanks have $35,000. water systems that
Rivkah   (07.13.13)
pull water out of the air and recycle it for drinking water. Having an IDF tank would be a great idea! Glad they are on the market. Wish I could afford to have one.
30. An IDF tank would be a great "safe room" for troublous
Rivkah   (07.13.13)
times and can be stored in the garage instead of the vehicle.
