1. Why don't we use our own money?
jason white ,   afula, israel   (05.17.12)
With all the unemployment and other economic problems in the U.S., why take more money from them?
2. We shall return
Darshi ,   Arab   (05.17.12)
Do what you want, this does not protect you from fierce fighters of Hezbollah...
3. We shall return

6. Return
Michael ,   Israel   (05.18.12)
Return? To where? Be a good boy and you will be spared obliteration or if you prefer you will be obliged. Haven't you learned anything? You have no idea but wish to play with the psychie of people that survived ovens. You are just asking for trouble again but that is par for a people that prefer further victimization, rather rhan a future for you and your children.
7. Don't waste US money
Yossef   (05.18.12)
Bomb Gaza.
8. There will be peace
Stephan ,   Munich, Germany   (05.18.12)
So Israel is still relying on weapons and public relations for its savety. The leaders of Israel are fools. What has been the benfit so far? Constant war-threat and unrest. When Jakob returns to the Lord, there will be peace and security. Jews must make their paths straight and return to Jahwe. Everything what has been told by the Prophets long ago has come true so far. And the Lord will wipe away the guilt of Jakob. Then the time of grace will come. Look around you, all the signs are visible now. Natural cathastrophies, criminal leaders, dictators were falling, criminality, unrest and war everywhere. The old world is ending now and the new world is coming. There will be peace for all times for all who return to the Lord. The Lord himself has said that!
9. Democrat dollars in exchange for Jewish votes.
Raphael   (05.18.12)
The way both the Democrat and Republican sycophants pander to Israel is sickening to see. Anyone would think that ninety nine percent of the American electorate are Jews. Not so, and it's the non-Jewish taxpayer that has to pay the price of defending illegal Israeli occupation and settlements.
10. To: No. 2
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.18.12)
Which "fierce fighters of Hezbollah?" The ones who live in underground bunkers in constant fear of Israel? Those "fierce fighters?" Oh, we're terrified. Positively -- yawn -- terrified.
11. Why does no one mention ....
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.18.12)
.... that the technology which has gone into Iron Dome has been shared by Israel with several American companies involved in the defense industry, thus saving those companies -- and the United States Department of Defense -- BILLIONS in research and development? This is not American charity. The cost-savings to the American taxpayer is significant. All American investment in Israel -- particularly in the fields of medicine, information technology and the armaments industry -- has been of considerable value and benefit to the people of the United States. What sort of a "return" on its funding and investment does the United States reap from any other country?
12. Israel pretends to order the Domes from the US
Edithann ,   USA   (05.20.12)
the US sends the Domes, and Israel pretends to pay the US , but can't seem to know who to make the check out to...US writes it off as foreign aid and forgives the debt.. Who can possibly call it Charity? . TATA
