1. Very Smart Concept
Steve ,   USA   (10.26.06)
B"H That table concept is very smart. It needs some testing before accidentally dropping a block of cement on some little child. Cement tends to crack and spit on impact. Perhaps a sand table .... wow, now there is a great idea. Indoor sand table with cover on it. Step up to play in the sand or step down and crawl under to get some shelter! How can this be marketed and tested?
2. Mad men fight WAR with concrete tables
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (10.26.06)
...instead of defeating the enemy - it pleases the U.S. EU UN and every Jew-hater on the planet.

just as the wall you build around your country it is going to be a wasted effort
4. Is this a joke
J K ,   NYC, USA   (10.26.06)
Fortified tables? Are they joking? I guess they arent worried about the shrapnel that will shred these kids hiding below the open tables. What a joke. Why doesnt the Israeli government get serious about protecting its citizens?
5. WHO Came up with his idea????

6. Concrete is vague. Must be well reinforced not to fall.

Could probably be made very cheaply in a factory. Also would not require much planning since the tables could just be moved around as needed. Just make sure they have big rubber wheels because they'll be heavy. Just curious, though, why not use thick steel tables ? These already exist and should be more capable of absorbing impacts. Steel tables could also have sides that fold down to provide more protection. The key is just to make sure that there are attach points on the floor for them so they don't get tossed around by an impact, but that's just a simple matter of embedding some fittings in the floor. Any concrete floor could be easily retrofitted.

The security Barrier has been very successful in saving innocent civilian lives. I would recommend asking your Govt to build a barrier on the Pakistan Border. India and Israel are natural allies

Zvi ,   USA   (10.26.06)
Concrete tables -- that's ridiculous.
