1. So is it time for peace
Palestinian   (04.07.09)
So israel can stop the missiles from the north(south Lebanon) from the south (resilient Gaza?) the home made Qassam will stop flying?
2. more reason to make sure arrow doesnt follow lavi
zionist forever   (04.07.09)
This is great news Its also further evidence why we must make make sure Arrow doesn't turn into another Lavi. Arrow 3 is in its final statges of develpment just like Lavi before it was canceled. American bribes & economic problems killed Lavi and got us the more expensive F16 and killed a potential export. If the US pulls out of its part funding of Arrow 3 then we must pick up the costs ourselves and continue the Arrow program instead of buying the more expensive American system which was originaly designed with American needs in mind which are not the same as israels. Arrow is also a potential export and at least India and Turkey still want to buy.
3. #1 Lmao this is not for you
ghostq   (04.07.09)
you think Israel will use so expensive weapon on the palestinian, hahahaha you got an ego problem.
4. #2
gadi ,   sayeret   (04.07.09)
the fact that we can now stop your qassams, doesnt change the fact that you are still shooting them. as long as you shoot rockets in our direction in the hope to kill civilians, there wont be peace, there rather will be more raids and pin pointed assassinations. in the end, you pull the shorter. you choose.
5. #2 ZF, Not Quite True. It was an unpected change of vote
meir elazar   (04.07.09)
that killed the Lavi. It the crucial cabinet vote one of the cabinet members changed her vote unexpectedly and killed the Lavi. Whether this was good or bad is argueable. At the time the govt was putting almost all the defense budget into the Lavi and all the other weapons development systems which provide jobs and income through exports were suffering. There were far more jobs for the Israeli workers after the govt redistributed the the budget.
6. #4 Gadi -Where did you read Qassam in the article?
meir elazar   (04.07.09)
The article clearly stated that the target was the Iranian Shehab and not the smaller homemade Qassam. While there are improvements in this direction, they are not discussed in this article. p.s. I certainly hope that the intercepter missiles bring down the Qassams and Grads over Gaza to maximize damage against the terrorists and their supporters with the combined debris of the defensive missile and the Qassam/Grad.
7. What if 100 or 500 missles fired simultaneously?
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (04.07.09)
Israel hopelessly readying attack at iran possibly at Friday morning, considering banking holiday in UK and Europe, despite Wednesday was most likely time Pragmanist considarations may delay it Friday morning You will test all your system and yourself soon. I already bought gold Let me watch and laugh!
8. #7 Tayfun - If you wish to raise the Armagedon Scenario,
meir elazar   (04.07.09)
what would be left of Iran after such an attack?. When Iran supplied radar defense systems to Syria, Israel blew up the Syrian nuclear facility to the embarrassment of Syria, Iran, and Russia. Syria did not even leak a word for months after the attack. While Iran may have enough Shehabs, they are just nearing the ability to put together a nuclear bomb. Imagine with the headstart that Israel has what its arsenal and missile delivery system is like. Imagine after what Israel did to Gaza in Operation Cast Lead and in Lebanon 2 what they could do to Iran. Hamas never expected the kind of destruction that they suffered in Cast Lead after kidnapping 1 soldier. Nasrallah openly said he never expected the massive attack and degree of destruction to Lebanon and would not have attacked first had he known. Stupid idiot saw what happened to Gaza 3 weeks earlier after Shalit was kidnapped in "Summer Rain" and yet they kidnapped Goldvasser and Regev (2 soldiers). Ahmadinejad can delude himself about destroying Israel and his constant repugnant threats etc. But when all is said and done, we don't know what damage Iran will inflict on Israel but we know for sure that Iran will be destroyed with casualties beyond imagination if we are attacked. If we can do what we did Gaza for 1 soldier and Lebanon for 2, imagine what we would do in Iran for an existential attack on all citizens of Israel. Contrary to the constant voliferous threats of all the terrorists groups about revenge and Israeli blood filling the streets of Gaza and Tel Aviv, we don't threaten. We go in and do one hell of a job.
9. Dear Tayfunk_turkey. Nukes stop wars don't be deluded,

MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (04.07.09)
Then what are you waiting for.From your talk-back it looks as though it is a few hours job that Israel has been contemplating for the last 4 years.All said and done...........let us wait and see what happens next whilst you continue to day-dream.
11. #10 Mahmood - Is Gaza and Lebanon2 Syria Nuke site Daydream?
meir elazar   (04.07.09)

16. No it didn't
Ino Urlying ,   Sioux Falls, SD   (04.08.09)
Even in a controlled test environment it failed 9 times out of 10. Stop falsifying data.
17. Peace isn't the state of "Non war".
Israeli   (04.08.09)
It's the state of "Non hatred". Peace doesn't mean "Oh, the kind palestinians don't try to kill Israeli women and children any more, because Israel gives up land". It means - Palestinians no longer try to viciously kill Israeli children in terrorist attacks, and then we can start talking about how to live peacefuly besides each other.

19. #1 Israel keeps on rolling
petra ,   uSA   (04.08.09)
while the pals are crying "I'm hungry Feed me". 60 years later and these needy females can't raise a garden, build hospitals, schools? Gimme a break when the west and other oil whores top paying these pukes, they'll move back to where they came from.
