1. Let us buy new weapons,weapon systems
jason white ,   afula, israel   (07.07.10)
ammo and other supplies. Stop giving our tax money to hara-dim and others that do not serve in the I.D.F. Stop bringing over elderly and sick immigrants. we cannot afford it. We need to set up companies of former combat reservists volunteers. Train them again and make sure they are armed to hold back an attack or an uprising by hostile elements in Israel. Every volunteer should have an assault rifle in his or her house as well as a few full magazines.
2. attack
daniel ,   Rimonim   (07.07.10)
Israel should not need to depend on other countries for our defence not buy weapons from others. let's build our own weapons.
3. Why certainly, #1
Cameron ,   USA   (07.07.10)
Delighted, as always, to equip you with the very best on the planet. Heavy gear for a heavy neighborhood.
4. Hostile eastern front will be with us for many years to come
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (07.07.10)
thus Israel must, must maintain control over the Jordan Valley!!! It was not for no reason that Yithaq Rabin stated in 1995 that any peace accommodation will have to have the Jordan Valley under Israel's control.
5. #1 I thought jews were so smart to make their own weapons!
Peter ,   Vienna-Austria   (07.07.10)

6. #2 As we speak the entire israeli airforce is MADE IN USA
Peter ,   Vienna-Austria   (07.07.10)
Your navy is mostly German,and your soldiers use M-4's and M-16's to fire. So much for jewish brains!!!!
7. YOU SHOULD FEAR -
Arn. ,   SWEDEN.   (07.07.10)
- Israel fears the rise of the eastern front amidst changes occurring in the region, -SINCE YOU ARE GIVING THE WESTBANK AWAY !!!. DANIEL 11 - 41He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown; but these shall escape out of his hand: even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon. 42He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries, and the land of Egypt shall not escape. 43But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and ofsilver, and over all the precious things of Egypt; and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps. 44But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him. Therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy and utterly to sweep away many. 45And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain. Yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him. JESAJAH 10 - 5"Woe to the Assyrian, the rod of Mine anger, and the staff in their hand is Mine indignation! 6I will send him against a hypocritical nation, and against the people of My wrath will I give him a charge, to take the spoil and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets. 7Yet he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy and cut off nations not a few. 24Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD of hosts: "O My people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian. He shall smite thee with a rod and shall lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt. 25For yet a very little while and the indignation shall cease, and Mine anger in their destruction." 32As yet shall he remain at Nob that day; he shall shake his hand against the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem. 33Behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, shall lop the bough with terror; and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down, and the haughty shall be humbled. Zechariah 14 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. 2For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished. And half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city. 3Then shall the LORD go forth and fight against those nations, as when He fought in the day of battle. 4And His feet shall stand in that day upon the Mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east; Zechariah 12 10And I will pour upon the house of David and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem the spirit of grace and of supplication; and they shall look upon Me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for Him as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for Him as one who is in bitterness for his firstborn. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWSATpx7uzk Arn.

(07.07.10)
9. #6 Not sure if your aware
JW ,   Israel   (07.07.10)
but all those planes which you speak of that come from USA are stripped and replaced with sophisticated Israeli equipment!!!
10. Peter
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (07.07.10)
There you go trying to think again. For you it's a waste of time. Israel makes plenty of good military equipment but if it makes you feel better to think otherwise then go ahead.
11. #10 Is that why we only see israel using AMERICAN weapons??
Peter ,   Vienna-Austria   (07.08.10)
Is that why you go shopping German subs,American F-16's and F-15's and soon to be F-35's?? Some of the best military hardware in the world. Yeah,right!!!!!!!!!! Honestly,why am I even arguing with a Yank?? I think you know what we think of you here in Europe.
12. Occupation is the solution, lets occupy Iraq!!!
Misha   (07.08.10)
13. #9 Come on, I dare you. Stop buying American weapons!!!
Peter ,   Vienna-Austria   (07.08.10)
Don't go shopping American Bunker busters, American planes and etc(sorry to burst your bubble by the way,Your aircraft's won't last long with out the SPARE PARTS,which of course are delivered by the US). Let's see you build your own planes,subs,and etc. I heard that the Merkava has an engine which is being made in France. jewish brains??????????????? LOL. I'd say Russia has the brains to produce weapons. China has the brains to produce weapons. Do you see the russians buying F-16's in large numbers?? Do you see the chinese asking for free German subs?? You have some nerve!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
14. Peter, the arrogance of the truly ignorant.
Stephen in New York ,   New York   (07.08.10)
Israel designs and manufactures sub-systems, not platforms. The platforms Israel does manufacture such as the Merkava tank and UAVs are among the best in the world. All European countries that deploy long endurance UAVS use Israeli UAVs. In some areas Israel deploys systems first, even before the US. I am thinking of the Trophy active tank protection, the Spike non-line of sight missile and Iron Dome. Do some research, fool.
15. believe it or not
observant ,   Jerusalem, Palesine   (07.08.10)
believe it or not netanyahu will do the least expected and make peace with palestinians on the bases of 1967 borders and jerusalem an international city, and this will happen soon.
16. Jewish Brains
A Smart Jew ,   USA   (07.08.10)
You racist . Facts: Since 1966 Israel won 9 Noble prizes, Austria 7 Includes 3 Jews or Jewish background. Jews are 1/4 of 1% of the global population, but are 18% of all the noble prize winners. There probably would have been more had Austria and Germany not had people like you.
17. Peter # 11
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (07.08.10)
The Merkava tank, the K-fir jet, though it is based on the French Dassault Mirage, the UZI sub machine gun. Of course they use American weapons. They don't have the advantage of our industrial might. What they do have are the brains to use, develop and improve on other peoples stuff as well as create what then need if they have to.. If Israel had our industrial strength they probably could put us to shame. As to what Europe thinks of me or my country, I don't give a damn. Whatever faults we may have (and we do have them) people still try hard to get into America legally or illegally. The only group flocking to Europe is Muslims and Europe is sucking right up to them. If you think that is to be admired then go ahead and pat yourself on the back Peter.
18. TO # 5
LARRY ,   US ARMY RETIRED   (07.08.10)
LEVI FIGHTER DESIGNED IN ISRAEL CANCELLED IN 1987 BETTER SUTED FOR IAF MISSIONS WAS DUMPED BECAUSE OF US PRESSURE TO BUY AMERICAN F16 FIGHTER JETS DO SOME HOMEWORK BEFORE YOU SHOOT YOUR MOUTH OFF LIKE A 16 YEAR OLD JERK
19. to peter the austrian #13
LARRY ,   US ARMY RETIRED   (07.08.10)
your country makes great hand held weapons thats besides the clocks .when was the last time your people designed and produced a fighter plane they went with british and later on the eauro fighter shared by many countries. and while we are on this subject pick up a history book your country was used as a door mat by adolph he defected to germany to make his plans happen.guess he had zero faith in his homeland .clear the crap up in your head before you think out loud fool .
20. re: ^ Israel very good at improving but not at creating
Bloodyscot ,   Dallas, Texas   (07.08.10)
Israel is a small country with limited resources but has many people who have studied and working in US,EU and Russia, this has given them access to information most other countries don't have or trade secrets that companies don't share. Israel built it own tanks because it had few choices but used many key parts from other countries, like main gun, motor and transmission. Israel's avionics are custom made for Israeli needs were as US designed for broader range uses, Cost is also a big factor since Israel gets about 3B dollars per yr in US equipment and fuel so Israel spends it money on improving rather then being out the total cost of building all weapons.
21. Peter, you're whining & sniveling
Cameron ,   USA   (07.08.10)
What a weak joke you Europeans have degenerated into. No wonder the Muslims slap you weak sisters around on the streets of your own cities.
22. #11, think again
Golani ,   Vineland, USA   (07.08.10)
#11, your aniti semitic thoughts show through. Anyway, Israel does make amazing weapons. The Israeli weapons industry is always one of the big booths at weapon shows throughout the world. There are many examples, but the Tavor is just one. of many http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vj5Z5e8CUUM
23. Jewish brain
