1. Arab vote in democratic Palestine Israel is best defense
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (11.11.11)
No justice no peace applies to Israel also.
2. hopefully exports will recoup any extra costs
zionist forever   (11.11.11)
Missile defense systems for passenger jets is today a gimik but give it another 5-10 years and I think we will see all major airlines installing these things and eventually it will probably be a legal standard to fit missile defenses to passenger aircraft. Once C Music is on all ELAL planes and everybody knows it then we will probably see other airlines like United wanting to fit it on their planes as well. As there are very few non Israeli companies if there are any others making systems like this then all the airlines will have to buy Israeli until there is more competition. If all the airlines are buying C Music then it means more profit for Elbit and more tax money for the government which can be used to offset the ELAL subsidy.
3. No thanks, no anti missile systems on planes just JORDAN
Hippocrates ,   Earth   (11.11.11)
as palestine and no need to give statehood within Israel. Jordan was palestine and it will return to being so. then you don't need to twist into a illogical pretzel to fit airplanes with heat seeking anti missile technology called c music. what some violinist gets out on the wing and the wretched sound diverts the missile? Get a clue. Thank you
4. To #1

I agree with you. No justice no peace. Justice will be achieved when the Arabs go back to where they came from and the whole land of Israel can be liberated.
5. To: No. 1
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.11.11)
"democratic" ersatz "Palestine?" Take a look at Gaza. Take a look at the ersatz "Palestine" Authority. Ersatz "Palestinian" "democracy" on display. Oh -- by the way -- any ersatz "Palestinian" terror emanating from the West Bank will simply speed up Israel's annexation of Judea and Samaria and the ersatz "Palestinian" departure from Eretz Israel. No peace, no ersatz "Palestine." Get it? Good.
6. To #1
Bill Poser ,   Prince George, Canad   (11.12.11)
Israel is democratic and gives Arabs full civil rights, including the vote. The PA has nominal democratic institutions but is not actually a democracy, and Hamas is opposed in principle to democracy. So I take it that your proposal is that Israel should annex all of Judea, Samaria and Gaza so as to extend democracy and the rule of law to them?
7. israel
joel ,   usa   (11.12.11)
israe should remember that " the best defense, is the best offense ", ha?
8. #1 Hamas was democratically elected.
michael redbourn ,   Arad Israel   (11.12.11)
Most people learned from that. Peace with Islam is not even on the horizon.
9. 20 000 liberated anti aircraft missiles
RJBH ,   Methil   (11.12.11)
Liberated by Nato.. for use against the Godless ones.
10. Steve @ 1, do not be silly. Your justice and my justice are
leo ,   usa   (11.12.11)
not one and the same and I have no hope of ever satisfying yours. So, I will do what I see as just and you do what you see as just and let the best man win.
11. #1
Stuart ,   Phila pa USA   (11.12.11)
Steve All of your posts are amazingly anti-Israel If so, why do you spend your time trolling ynet articles and venting your venom on us? If you are lonely, please try to meet up with Salma. You can goose-step, or more, with her all day and night long.
12. Anti-semite
dave ,   wisconsin   (11.12.11)
Steve Benassi is an anti-semitic liberal obama loving hic that lives just up the road from me, just ignore his twisted logic and maybe both he and obama will go away.
13. Libyan Weapons in Gaza an Expected Consequence ofUS/NATO War
Linda Rivera ,   New York, USA   (11.12.11)
Admiral James Stavridis, NATO’s Supreme Allied Commander, Europe, and the commander of the U.S. European Command told the U.S. Senate that Al-Qaeda and Hezbollah fighters are among the Libyan rebels currently receiving support from the US and its NATO allies. This was confirmed by one of the Libyan rebel officers, Abdel-Hakim al-Hasidi, who leads one of the Al-Qaeda units. (US Aid to Israel’s Enemies, Oct 13th, 2011, frontpagemag.com) U.S/NATO joined with Al-Qaeda and Hezbollah terrorists to wage relentless war for months. Bombing Libya back to the stone age. Barbaric Al Qaeda and Hezbollah who MURDER our troops in Iraq were considered desirable for placing in power in Libya. US/NATO have great guilt in making the world a far more dangerous place.
14. #1. NO PEACE, NO LAND = NO STATE.
Harry Wright ,   UK   (11.13.11)
Land for peace is dead. Guess who killed it.
