1. Thank you Israel for the escort
Steve ,   USA   (04.11.07)
B"H I would hate for an American plane to get hijacked as it approaches Israel and not identify itself. Thank you Israel for taking responsible steps to maintain joint security for our countries. I am glad the crew and passengers arrived safely and securely to their destinaiton. I also hope that the reason the communication did not complete can be discovered to make security easier to maintain in the future.

3. Well Said
Roch ,   Albuquerque NM, USA   (04.11.07)
I am waiting to see the negative remarks from US people, but from those who have never had a gun pointed at them as they sit behind computers can not relate. Well done Israel, keep up the good work.
4. F16 escorts

Bet you're wrong.
7. Appropriate response
Jay ,   USA   (04.11.07)
The IDF did the right thing.
8. My Bad #5#3
Roch ,   Albuquerque NM, USA   (04.11.07)
So far I am wrong. I guess I have come to expect negative. My apologies, thanks again Israel!
9. Good Work!
Jim ,   Chicago,IL   (04.11.07)
I have been to Israel numerous times, and you have the best security in the world. Just another example!! Good work once again.
10. An F-16 "escort"
Tom ,   USA   (04.12.07)
I don't want to rain on this lovefest but those planes weren't going up there to say "hi". They were going to blow the hell out of it, if they didn't respond. That's great for Israel but I don't think those jets have magical "only killing terrorists missles" on board. lol
11. M.HARTLEY WELCOME BACK!!!
SUSAN ,   ISRAEL   (04.12.07)
12. 9/11
Krister Knutars ,   Stockholm, Sweden   (04.12.07)
USAF should obviously learn from IDF. If jets had been properly scrambled at 9/11 we might have had a different scenario on that terrible day.
13. Cheap Shot
Roch ,   Albuquerque NM, USA   (04.12.07)
You can coulda woulda shoulda all day long. I will admit that we were fat lazy and not drilled. But sometimes it takes a 911 to get a country going. I hate what happened, but being a realist that is how people are. Never a problem with crime untill it happens to you. And so with the US, no problems with terrorism until it happened to us.
14. WAY TO GO, IAF.
debra ,   usa   (04.12.07)
15. #3, Negative reaction from Americans!
Dave ,   USA   (04.12.07)
You don's see any negtive reaction form "Americans" becasue they are smart enough to know that most probably 99% of the people on that plane were Jewish!
16. # 6 what's your problem
Manoa Road ,   Havertown   (04.13.07)
