Hope that what Former head of Israel's Space Agency is saying proves to be true. Way to go Iran. God bless you.
3. The Iranian Imperative.......
Adina Kutnicki ,   Israel, new olah   (02.03.09)
Once Bibi gets elected, 24/7 must be devoted to Iran. Without doing so all else is irrelevant if we go poof.....
4. Iranian rocket launch

The Israeli government has made a science out of keeping its citizens in a constant state of fear and this Iranian missile capability is one more scare tactic. Sixty years of national paranoia has taken its toll on the Israeli psyche. I don't know who is crazier, and thus more dangerous - the Israelis or the Persians. Both countries are militarized theocracies whose main exports are fear and hate. Holy Wars Suck!
6. just the beginning of the supreme
Lior ,   Israel   (02.03.09)
Ohh oh! Like when all the signals were as bright as day as Jews were being rounded up no one cared to hear our pleas. Once we tip over the abyss because the world stood silent too long AGAIN I want no one to say, "never again." Everyone flips over Obama wanting to speak directly with Iran yet when George Bush said a resounding NO to selling us long range aircraft it was in fact a gift to Iran. When he said NO flying over Iraq that too was a gift to Iran.
7. Shoot it down

According to BBC: Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said the satellite was launched to spread "monotheism, peace and justice" in the world.

11. #5- very close
GUH   (02.03.09)
You said: "The Israeli government has made a science out of keeping its citizens in a constant state of fear and this Iranian missile capability is one more scare tactic" The reality: "The Israeli government has made a science out of keeping the United States and Europe constantly in fear for the sake of Israel." The professor basically has made no coherent point as stated in the article; first he says that the satellite was false, then switches his story calling it a cause for concern, and switches his story again to label the satellite mediocre. MAKE UP YOUR MIND!!!
12. Iranian launching capabilities
Iranian Freedom ,   Canada   (02.03.09)
"It is a way of 'laundering' the real project, since testing such ballistic missiles is forbidden under several international conventions," Ben-Israel said. Really? International Conventions? The same conventions that banned bombing civillians? Oh, ya brother! Your government was such a prompter of those conventions in Gaza!!!!!
13. PROFESSOR ISAAC BEN
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (02.03.09)
You have been indeed protected somehow as our talk-back are not being posted by Ynet.Fors some reason,I feel that your article is brilliantly avoiding the issue of Iranian progress.By depicting the launch of the satelitte being insignificant and at the same time demonstrating concern for ballistics progress is a line chosen for your convenience,professor.So,if the Iranians surprise the world tomorrow you will remain protected by saying that you had predicted it while at the same time calling it an insignificant development,you have probably caused happiness amongst readers but you know it very well that progress IS being made whether you like it or not.Yah, professor?
14. Irans Nukes
David ,   UK   (02.03.09)
Israel knows full well that Iran would not initiate a nuclear first strike against Israel, as it knows that Israel or the US would launch a devastating retaliation. Israel real concern is that by obtaining a nuclear option Iran will rival it as a regional power thus restricting Israel’s freedom of action within the region.

17. #5 and #15 Intellegence check
mike ,   seattle   (02.03.09)
One day you each will know the truth, but until then I'm afraid that there is no hope for you. Intellegence only finds people who seek it.
