Zechariah   (05.11.14)
Oil was used as the Blackmail and Greed Money to Fund Nazi Germany and Make The Western Democracies Rich.Prior and During WW2 .The Jews ought demand 50 billion a year in Compensation or take 250 billion a Year by Force if compensation Refused .Part ought be used to relocate Gaza Arabs a million to the 40 plus Islamic states and Constitute Profitable Businesses and supply the needs of Islamic People's in Poverty Lands like Africa .The Vatican and Royal Families Particularly the British ought donate 90% of assess to the Poor gradually and Lift them a Few Steps up .
2. How about cutting the billions of shekels a year paid out in
Moti   (05.10.14)
retirement benefits and other elite perks?!!! What good will your millions do you if the whole country is in danger? Eh??
3. #1 - Go for it and see where it gets you
spyguy ,   seattle usa   (05.11.14)
You are completely delusional. The world does NOT owe Israel anything. The non-Jews living west of the Jordan River are NOT going anywhere. If Israel tries to use force against any nation it will get slapped down. Anyone crazy enough to follow you will deeply regret it very quickly as he world retaliates in massive force.
4. why is it the politicians are always the experts
zionist forever   (05.11.14)
The military are the one who knows that they need and what they cost Lapid and his junior spokesmen know what they want to spend and if the military say they don't have enough money the politicians blame the IDF for bad money management. Why has Lapid has slapped a tax on fuel for fighter jets and tanks? Either the military get money or we are going to be back in the pre Lebanon position where the IDF was not getting enough for weapons, training and reserves were having to buy their own body armour or do without because the IDF didn't buy to save money. Instead of money for weapons and training Lapid has given the IDF thousands of haredi jobnicks which are cost the IDF millions because he doesn't like haredi not because the IDF want them.
5. defence budget
papadov ,   herzliya   (05.11.14)
i suppose its better to build a new house for the prime minister and to buy a private jet
6. # 4
Philip ,   Afula.   (05.11.14)
You are wrong. The military can make requests, even present warnings of what could happen with insufficient [ in their opinion] funding. Thats about it.The politicians ie the elected representatives of the public deem what they can afford on defense. Dont forget that health and education are also matters of defence, same for affordable housing for the younger generation . This is a country with an army and not an army with a country.
7. candles and dreams
peter ,   tel aviv   (05.11.14)
just as bibi likes spending our money on scented candles,icecream and his private waterbill, he did not mind spending billions on his grand Iran scheme. Projecred attack plans and and. So the money is gone the candles in the prime ministers residence are still burning but we will build a new one once we bought the new jet for him ) or probably Sarale) Things will get better our leader will change the law and abandon the presidency, because we all know only those rapists or leftists occupy that office or god forbid Silwan ,which would make Judy first lady. Now I doubt that Sarahle would agree to be anything but the first muppet in Israel. Which Muppet you ask? Well that muppet is very dominating the lead uppet kermit.
8. to #3 spyguy in Seattle
Bluegrass Picker ,   Afula   (05.11.14)
i spent a good amount of time at Naval Shipyard Bremerton so I recognize your type. Hence: #1, the Saudis are more likely to take advice from the Mossad than you genderqueers, and #2, we already practiced on your sister-in-blowhardness Rachel Corry. We will cut you to pieces also. No one in Seattle has the balls to face down Abdulbakar in Nigeria, much less the IDF.
9. F-35 a deficient failure for so called 5th gen aircraft
Dror ,   Haifa, Israel   (05.11.14)
We will be the biggest suckers for purchasing this aicraft. The Euro fighter is built off of specs from our Lavi so is the Chinese J-22. WHY THE HELL ARE WE NOT DEVELOPING OUR LAVI AGAIN. Israel has become a land of fat stupid spoiled morons.
10. F-35 money making scam
Dror ,   Haifa, Israel   (05.11.14)
Even if we put in all of our electronics and try to improve the performance of this flop trukey duck waiting to get shot out of the sky by outdated Mig21s we will be making a humongous mistake. Israel needs to invest all of the billions that we would be uselessly spending on this lemon into building a superior aircraft that Israel knows how to build. America is going to go through a massive financial and economic decline in catastrophic fashion very soon. We need to prepare. We need to make plans. The F-35 is a walking dead project. We should just walk away from it, very firmly and without excuses or apologies.
11. #1
jerusalem   (05.11.14)
So you think the world owes you? I'd like to see you beg OPEC for money, dont embarrass yourself anymore than that stupid comment. Go demand, I'm curious of the results. Go hide under a rock where you belong. Its Jews like you that keep the stereo types alive. lol
12. "Netanyahu spent almost $3 billion in the past two years
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (05.11.14)
...preparing for a war against Iran's nuclear program that it probably never intended to wage." -TheDailyBeast
13. Israel's economy is the problem
Yechiel   (05.11.14)
If you had a Prime Minister that would make peace with the Arabs your economy would be opened up to 40+ trading partners. Netanyahu should go home. He gave it his best shot.
