There ought be a settlement Slowdown for Funds for the Military Crises erupt Unpredictably.Training also is Research into Weapon Accuracy and Armed Skills .More Skills in the IDF helps with Job creation.Investigation into Efficiency Waste also Essential .

the idf's budget is biggest in history? well, i would think the threat to the existence of israel is disproportionality bigger than any time in history. yes! the defence budget must be controlled, but not as much as the budgets for all the politicians. including the israeli "AIR FORCE ONE"

how do they expect to bring thousands of haredim into the army? Not that any of them would enlist, just wondering.

It's troubling to hear the IDF may suspend operations. However, this may be a scare tactic to get more money rather than find a way to make the IDF spending more efficient.

on war toys and training, it will NEVER be enough. A less costly method is to learn how to live with your neighbors. Give up lots of land, water, cash (for compensation) and apologies and Israel will have a much lower need for war toys and military. Israel will go bankrupt long before it has an "adequate" defense.

the Tora world? Seems to me that the State has more financial problems than ever. It is well known that supporters of Tora studies are blessed with successful enterprises.

Big mouth strikes again Where are you sarah? I thought Israel was a success while Europe is sinking

emotional blackmail...scaretactic...fearmongering...the IDF seems unable to grasp the implications of a budget....kinda like Israel doesn't really grasp the concept of borders really

if you would stop starting up with the chareidim it would solve a lot of your problems! You are starting up with g-d's squad, its the idf squad vs. g-d's squad who did you think is gonna win.

Why should Israrl, with the highest growth in GDP in the Western World, and one of the lowest unemployment rate go bankrupt? Despite your excellent relationship with your neighbors (except the killings of Mexicans who try to cross your walled border), and your defense cits, you got a15 trillion Dollar in debt, so who are you preaching to?

You have not factored the extreme hatred these people have for each other. If Israel did everything you wrote, to a "t", it wouldn't change anything for the better. Concessions do not mitigate hatred. Unfortunately what they have right now is as good as it gets. The only real solution for either side to their conflict is unthinkable.

Seemingly the IDF has the same symptoms of a drug addict. The more they inject (money) the larger the next dose must be. Sad in a country with so many poor and underprivileged.
