10 Talkbacks for this article
1. My advice to YNET:
marya ,   sacrameno,usa   (08.30.07)
If you feel so inclined, go walk in traffic with a blindfold on. Otherwise it is best to keep this type of information out of the public eye. The maniacs in Iraq don't need to know there are Israelis helping secure the airport in Karbala. All the work they will do will be for nothing because you decided to inform the enemy vital information.
2. HOW ABOUT PROTECTING OUR SOLDIERS WHEN THEY'RE IN LEBANON ?
Nowhere Man ,   Metropolis, Zion   (08.30.07)
3. In some strange way !
Ariya Gothelf ,   Gedera Israel   (08.30.07)
Israeli companies showing the world how to protect themselves from terrorists and along the way returning the favor of America's investments of 3 billion dollars to help Israel .
4. #1
Dorothy Friend ,   Tel Aviv   (08.30.07)
YNET, and the rest of the media probably know about it because the company sent out a press release bragging about it.
5. "Hebraic inscriptions"?
Bruno ,   Haifa   (08.30.07)
They're selling blast-proof walls not archaeological artefacts. Someone should really edit your articles ...
6. Agrees with reader #1
Alan ,   Silver Spring USA   (08.30.07)
In a separate story, a major Turkish media firm decided not to broadcast despicable behavior by a group of Israeli football fans that would have rightly inflamed most Turks. Meanwhile, Ynetnews acts like a typically irresponsible Israeli media outfit by printing stories that can only undermine Israel and Israelis. How about some discretion?
7. Finding Kabul on the map
Robert Tilden   (08.30.07)
Recently Miss Teen Carolina could not even make a complete sentanse come out of her mouth when asked what should be done about the fact that half of American school children can't find America on a world map. It turns out that no such survey exists, that was reassuring till I read the first talkback here. Marya, Karbala is not Kabul. They are only about 4 timezones apart. The notion that these attacks are calculated to such a degree is idiotic. Hizbollah or Hammas or the Taliban or which ever group in Iraq are pre-implied to act, bomb and harm. The search for the rational is of no consequence and is just done to confuse western opinion. Trying to pre-empt their excuses for terrorism is idiotic. If they were planning on bombing the Kabul Airport they would do so with or without Israeli defences.
8. "Hebraic inscriptions" - a personal tale
Raymond from DC ,   Washington, DC USA   (08.30.07)
It's remarkable that some are so filled with hatred for Jews and Israel that Hebrew writing will set them off. Some 30 years ago, I was traveling from Jerusalem to Iran through Turkey. (Yes, once we could do that.) Getting hungry on the long overland bus, I opened a tin of fish I'd purchased in Jerusalem. The Turkish co-driver spotted the can's writing. He confronted me. "You Israeli?", he asked. I corrected him. He insisted, pointing to the lettering, hate in his eyes. "*I* know you Israeli!" He then passed the info to the driver about this "Israeli" on their bus. I had visions of being tossed out into the Turkish badlands. Such is the hatred we must contend with.

Returning the favor of America's investments of 3 billion dollars? Don't worry. The Israelis already did that a long time ago.

This article is talking about Kabul, in Afghanistan. Not Karbala in Iraq. Silly woman.
