1. iron dome and erdogan
alexi   (07.19.10)
The order is simple-do not sell sensitive equipment and or technology to any potential adversaries. Turkey is now using israeli drones to massacre kurds who are natural israeli allies and to assist syria and hezbollah in combatting israel. Erdogan is an irrational moslem hothead who gave the go to ITT terror group. Erdogan and his radical arafat arab wife Amin tell bald faced lies, are extremist in nice clothes and duped olmert big time. Believe me, regardless of what hagee or God says, israelis are not chosen when you get a gutless cheap crook olmert as PM. No matter the facts, erdogan will always be an untrustworthy ally and for that alone, olmert deserves jail time. Do not sell iron dome except to US.And don't sell it to russia who is in bed with iran and syria.
2. Iron bankruptcy
Chris.B ,   Australia   (07.19.10)
Another step towards bankruptcy in Israel. What a waste of money. How much will each missile cost to intercept? A Qassam rocket with its scrap yard non explosive capability cost how much to make? The interceptor missile will cost? Do the math. There are other defences Israel could use that would enhance its security i.e; take away the need for these useless military toys. Dialogue, friendship and mutual respect would be a good start.
3. well, well
Cameron ,   USA   (07.19.10)
Note that Obama will extend Israel 200+ million for development & deployment. I'm no fan of the man, but credit where credit is due. A good item to remember during the rants about the "The Closet Muslim".
4. "dialogue, friend and mutual respect", Chris B.:
Robert Haymond ,   Israel/Canada   (07.19.10)
Have you ever read the Hamas Charter, Chris? If not, it might prove to be very educational. In fact, have you ever read the New Fatah Charter? If not, it might prove to be doubly educational. Please report back once you have actually read what the two charters propose.
5. Chris... to make a deal must be in two
PO ,   Ramat Gan, IL   (07.19.10)
Your idealist and detached view of the reality is pathetic and it's missing one important point: Hamas, that is in charge in Gaza (you know? That place were Qassams are fired from?), wants only one thing, and it's clear in Hamas manifesto: the destruction of Israel. It will not stop until it will be reached. What dialogue and what mutual friendship are you talking about? Oh yes... Australia is sooooooo far...
6. Not final test, Yet I will throw my shoe to hit it and see
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (07.19.10)
if it can intercept my shoe. One of them was thrown and hit Bush.
7. Well why not, Tayfun
Cameron ,   USA   (07.19.10)
You've tried every other form of warfare, and accomplished little except having your Muslim ass kicked around the ME over the decades. Throw that shoe, and trust in Allah.
8. :: And the painted cardboard Turkish drone cannot fly
Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (07.19.10)
9. And the price demanded......?
DT ,   TA Israel   (07.19.10)
Don't attack Iran
10. Hamas should start negotiating now for gilad
dereck   (07.19.10)
while they have a card left top lay
11. @# 1.I agree with U.
John ,   Accra,Ghana   (07.19.10)

Russian teacher   (07.20.10)
Stop telling stupid things..... Russians doesn´t nedd your crap. We have s-400 AND SOON THE S-500.your system is a child toy compared with our air defense systems. I dude if you are heard about s-300,s-400 and the future s-500 russian missiles.They are all impressive,and better that all your crap.
13. Iron Dome passes final tests... BALLONY
Marco ,   Spain (world champs)   (07.20.10)
Its nothing but propaganda to lift sagging Israeli morale. If the news were true, Israel would have started its third Lebanon war. The only thing keeping Israel from regaining its lost dignity is the fear of deadly Hezbollah missiles.... Sorry YNET, but your attempt at propaganda is a lousy one.
14. #6 Good one Tyfun...
Marco ,   Spain (world champs)   (07.20.10)
I doubt it can intercept your shoes or any other shoes for that matter. This is Israeli propaganda at its worst...
15. #11 John, Ghana
Marco ,   Spain (world champs)   (07.20.10)
John, why dont you go eat a banana!
16. @13, spaniard
al-kafir al-yahudi ,   usa   (07.20.10)
Try improving your reading comprehension skills: 1. The article says that it will be operational in November (we are currently in July). 2. The 2nd Lebanon War started when hezbollah agents crossed the internationally recognized border between Leb and Israel and killed/captured Israeli soldiers. Please get your facts straight before re-using the same old stupid "it's just Israeli propaganda" canard that all you dolts use.
17. re#2
LARRY ,   USA   (07.20.10)
I THINK YOUR COUNTRY IN THE LAND DOWN UNDER TRASHED THAT IDEA WHEN JAPAN STARTED THERE CONQUEST OF ASIA IN WW2.
18. TO #3
LARRY ,   US ARMY RETIRED   (07.20.10)
DO YOU KNOW ITS JULY 2010 ELECTION TIME IS IN NOV. IN THE US. JUMP START YOUR BRAIN
19. #13.14.15. marco - the water boy for the soccer team
ABRAHAM ben JACOB ,   CANADA   (07.20.10)
marco can't play soccer-- he can carry water to the real players. marco can be a dancing cheer-leader, because he tries to dance around the truth with no success. marco and trayfun-turk are real losers. why don't you people try playing canadian or american football.--- the real man's game.
20. Yes, the picture shows
Persian CAT   (07.20.10)
that it passed flawlessly! Who could argue with THAT?!
21. Marco from Spain: You're an ignorant racist buffoon
Yotam   (07.20.10)
and you're a living proof that Spain, although a wonderful country, is full of anti-semitic dull-witted scumbags, as ever. Go kick a ball. It suits you. But do yourself a favor and don't try to think or write anything.
22. #4 and #5
Chris.B ,   Australia   (07.20.10)
Are you both talking about Hamas the group funded and promted to clash with the PLO by Israel?? Short memories hey. Well If you dictate your laws and oppress certain groups what do you expect? Them to love you,please Isreal's own charter has caused this. As I said its cheaper to show mutual respect and show kindness. Defang the problem and you take away the need for this Iron black hole.
23. bravo, 'Don Quixote", you're a 'windmill demolition expert
sol   (07.20.10)
Sorry marco, all your rants are of no value. Your behavior, like the Don above, is not different than beasts expanding their chest in order to impress or frighten their enemy. My advice, you should try it in a plaza de toros, the bull might enjoy it.
24. Marco
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (07.20.10)
If you and Tayfun both put your heads together you would still come up empty.
25. Marco - It's hard to tell truth with your burkah on so tight
abraham ben Jacob ,   Canada   (07.21.10)
