1. we need this sale & if possible before the US midterms
zionist forever   (07.18.10)
Even in good times with the US it was very much a relationship of master and servant. Since Obama came along its been a relationship of America wanting to destroy Israel and replace it with an arab state. The relationship with India has always been a relationship of equals . India also doesn't have the political muscle to try and bully Israel and its not a muslim country, its at war with the muslims. We are jointly developing weapons & Israel is either the main exporter of weapons to India or a close second behind Russia. and w most weapons to India. Iron Dome also cost a fortune to develop and we need exports to recoup at least some of the investment costs. We should do everything possible to make sure we get a sale sale and do it quick before the US midterms and Obama decides to use the veto we agreed to give the US over the sale of even weapons which were developed with Israeli money and have no US technology inside. Obama will almost certainly veto this given the chance so we need to force through any potential sale whilst he is at his weakest and thats election time.
2. @1 - how come you are a fool?
kuhl blitz ,   Doha / Chennai   (07.19.10)
India (unlike racist people like you) is not war with any religion & in particular Muslims. It is truly democratic.India has more religions and everybody lives in harmony. Whereas in Israel, only 3 religion exists- but you drove christians away and killing the remaining muslims. India has more challenges - Naxallites (rebel groups - not muslims), population, literacy etc... and India is not even in war with Pakistan - and India is the one who got freedom to a Muslim countr, Bangladesh. Your claim of India in war with muslim is BS. Being an Indian, I support Israel's right to exist and I am very much proud of Jewish contribution to humanity. But people like you defaming India makes me sad!
3. Lying to yourself is worst thing you can do-No iron dome!
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (07.19.10)

james smith ,   NY,US   (07.20.10)
and let's not forget those nice terrorists who attacked the Chabad center in India (along with hotels etc) in the name of Allah.
5. ! - Zionist, you are an idiot who does not stop rumbling.
idiot forever   (07.20.10)
Obama just gave 205 mil for this micky mouse project. stop rumbling all day about things you have not the vagest clue about.
6. INDIA & ISRAEL - BOTH DEMOCRACIES AND BOTH VERY SMART PEOPLE
ABARAHAM ben JACOB ,   CANADA   (07.20.10)
Israel and India both have recognised that they can work together in harmony for mutual best results. Israel is democracy, and smart in technology and developement. India is democracy and very smart to recognise mutual benefits of Israel and India working together for their own best interests. CONRATULATIONS TO ISRAEL AND iNDIA.
7. TRAY_FUN -- DON'T LIE, YOU COPY "IRON -DRONE" FROM ISRAEL
ABRAHAM ben JACOB ,   CANADA   (07.20.10)
TRAYFE_UN YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO ASK ISRAEL HOW TO USE IT. TURK ARMY WANTS ISRAEL DRONE. BUT ERDOGAN HAS CRAZY IMAGINATION THAT HE CAN MAKE HIS COPY " IRON-DRONE" TO FLY.
8. @2 - Who is the fool?
Alex ,   USA   (07.20.10)
Perhaps you should tell your government that they are fool to buy an expensive missile defense system like the Israeli Iron Dome, if there is no enemy. Why your government feels the need? Are you forgetting Kashmir ?
9. Iron Dome for Sale!
Ana Capunong ,   Manila, Philippines   (12.23.11)
Israel should really think about it. The moment that India procure this, they might study it and make their own copy then later on, they will sell it to Israel's enemies. It has pro's and cons so Israel must not simply decide regarding this talk, this is not a simple business this is about the nation's security.I think before they will open this business deal they have to come up of a upgraded model / version of iron dome.
