Blood thirsty? Israel? Why? Did WE start six wars? No, we didn't; that was the Arabs. Have we engaged in seven decades of unrelenting terror? No, that would be the ersatz "Palestinians" who are guilty of such despicable acts of terror, killing thousands of innocent civilians. Get your facts straight, Nina. You might also want to learn the meaning of the words "self defense."
32. And very good food, too
Keith ,   USA   (06.03.12)
If they're anything like American subs, they'll also have high quality food and top-notch cooks. Join the Navy!
33. To nr 23 - Kelly deliberately distorts reality
Alexander ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (06.03.12)
Firs of all: Nazi Germany and today's Germany is a huge industrial country - Germany boasts with 80 million inhabitants and I believe the 4th largest economy in the world. Israel is an industrial country too with science and technology second to none, but Israel doesn't possess such resources to produce weapons on such a scale. Attempting to build such massive machines or weapons for military purposes would be time consuming and money consuming for any tiny country - no matter how technologically and scientifically advanced that tiny country happens to be. If Kelly had bothered to read some minimum amount of economics, she would know that no nation can specialize in all fields nor does every nation have the resources ( man power, money, natural resources, building facilities know how and so on) to specialize in all fields. That's why due to those limitations, each nation has to specialize within their fields and Israel specializes in medicine, military weapons, computer technology (software and hardware), cell phone technology (which was born in Israel), bluetooth, ICQ, centrino processors and so on. Israel has advanced technology and leads the world in that field. Neither Nazi Germany nor the German Empire were "picked on" - they picked on others and had to pay a price for it. Israel is being picked on daily and needs to defend itself. Nazi Germany and the German Empire threatened its neighbors with war, annihilation and genocide. How many times has Israel threatened any country with war, annihilation and genocide? And for how long will anti-Semites such as Kelly equate Nazism with the victims of Nazism and for how long will anti-Semites such as Kelly equate Nazi German genocide on Jews and other peoples and German wars of aggression and expansionism with Israel's right to exist and to defend itself - against those who want to destroy Israel? The problem is that Kelly is a racist Jew hater and denies the Jewish people the right to life and the right to freedom and the right to national independence and sovereignty in our ancient homeland. It seems that a tiny sliver of Jewish land bothers anti-Semites all over the world. Well, we will continue to bother you for all eternity.

Are we hypocritical because of something we did or said or are we hypocritical because of our Jewish ethnicity...? Yes I wish that everybody could be as moral as the English - conquering, occupying, murdering and enslaving Scotland, Wales and Ireland for centuries, establishing a world empire on almost all continents and enslave, mutilate, kill, discriminate millions of people across the globe and conquer Israel, the Arab world, Cyprus, Malta, Gibraltar, North America, India, Pakistan, Egypt, major parts of Africa, Hong Kong, Australia and New Zealand and on top of that sign THREE legally binding treaties - the Balfour Declaration, the San Remo treaty in April 1920 and the Anglo-American treaty signed 3rd of December 1924 in London UK - that promised that the Jewish state would be Cis-Jordan, Trans-Jordan and southern Lebanon up until the bend of the Litani river, but reneges on that promise, gives 78% of the British Mandate of Palestine to Hashemite dynasty of Trans-Jordan/Jordan, prevents Jews from moving into the remaining 22%, prevents Jewish Holocaust survivors from entering Israel between 1945-1948, places Jews in prison camps on Cyprus and intervenes against Israel when Israel became independent (resulting in British planes being shot down). And let's not forget the British massacres on people in India decades ago. And let's not forget that many African states became independent and shook of the British imperial control in the mid and late 20th century. Yes Nina, why can't everybody be as moral as you?
35. #14 Nina
DavidR ,   USA   (06.03.12)
Nina, You should take a good hard look at British history before you make such ignorant remarks. While supporting the Jewish people the British Empire grew to unbelievable heights. After succumbing to arab threats to cut off their precious oil if The Jewish homeland was established in so called palestine, and the Brits turning their back to the Jews and even aided in the 1948 war against the new State of Israel, (5 British spitfires shot down with British pilots attacking the new State of Israel) the British Empire has been reduced to its little Island plus the falklands. He blesses those who bless the Jewish people and curses those who curse them. Nina, it seems you are cursed, along with your little country. And, the US is cursed with you.
36. #35 DavidR, The US would be cursed if it was left to you.
Michael ,   California, USA   (06.03.12)
Who needs fifth column idiots who take from the welfare of this country while cursing it shamelessly? Americans are generous people, wise and committed, who have stood by Israel, have been the only reliable friend of Israel for over sixty years. Bury your head in the sand from shame, ostrich, this is the most you deserve.
37. To: No. 36
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (06.03.12)
The American people, yes. An unconditional love and loyalty to Israel, I would say. The various American administrations -- only rarely, and only when it suits their purpose. And the current administration is not a friend of Israel at all, and has not been since the day he took office. He has a private, Islamist agenda, and only an ostrich with his head buried in the sand could fail to realize this. You would be that ostrich.
38. Several years late, Der Spiegel
William ,   Israel   (06.04.12)
This was old news years ago. No one hid the nuke capabilities of the subs, neither Israel nor Germany. Suddenly this is news? Did it appear right after the headline "first transatlantic radio signal sent; Marconi hero".
39. #14 - hit a nerve, nina?
William ,   Israel   (06.04.12)
You seem rather melodramatic for no apparent reason. I suspect its more because Israel has a strong deterrence and is keeping your Arab friends at bay. I read the comments before yours and none are "blood thirsty" as you claim. They all basically said "so what?" or "good for Israel".
40. Classified
David ,   TN USA   (06.04.12)
It is better to allow the other counties to know so that control can be used in matters that will benefit Israel. If you think about it, if you knew that there was a plane you can't see, and it had nukes on it you would think a few times before attacking. The best bet is that you will not attack. You just don't tell them about the other 10 you have.
41. Don't tell? Better to tell!
David ,   TN USA   (06.04.12)
It is better to tell. That way it could stop a war, or major deaths. By telling the world that they have nukes under the water somewhere will make them think before they start killing Israelis. It is a prevented measure by telling the world. It also gives Israel a bargaining chip on the table. They just don't tell them about the other 10 under the water.
42. Duh this is old news
spyguy ,   seattle usa   (06.04.12)
I tried to post a comment yesterday but forgot that Israel still has military censorship, so all the technical details I tried to post caused my posting to disappear. Suffice to say that a quick Google search on" dolphin submarine" will tell you everything you would ever want to know about these subs. Just because it can't appear in Israeli press doesn't mean it is not known to every other human on earth that wants to know.
43. No problem
peter vojta ,   prague   (06.04.12)
Yes, everyting Iran is accused...fits on Israel. So simple, as long as you dont start talking about G-d as some Realestate Agent and Holy Books Land Registry .Israel above any internacional laws and norm! Well done mate, people of the World "love that". peter czech
44. No way
viva israel   (06.04.12)
lets talk about jews in europe... how many were killed .... We can not and will not let other nations role us as we did in the past that only leads to doors of holocust. If anyone tries to do this again they will pay far more than the germans and europe ever did.
45. To No.16, Sarah B
Gabe ,   Canada   (06.04.12)
We should remember the one who provided the funds for the Munich massacre was no one else than PM Netanyahu's peace partner ; Mahmoud Abbas !
46. #23 - except Germany never faced annihilation
William ,   Israel   (06.04.12)
and the Germany people were never targeted for genocidal war by a foreign people, as Israel is targeted by Arabs - for the past 60 years. And once Germany obtained weapons they launched a global war, where as Israel obtains weapons as a defensive measure, against a specific group of people (terrorists) which are categorized as legitimate targets under Intl Law after they continue to commit war crimes. You seem to have left out that tiny but significant piece of information, huh, Kelly?
47. #42 - if you're a "spyguy", I'm Mother Theresa
William ,   Israel   (06.04.12)
First, military censorship, the same which exists in America and other nations, is not exercised on a mere public newspaper argument on benign topics which were public years ago. Second, you only experienced the "stupid filter" which weeds out dumb comments and poor personalities who like to hear themselves speak while provided a negative contribution to the forum. You're in technology (or so you say) so you should have known this already. Proof is your new post did make it through, albeit still without any real value so the filter appears to need some tweaking.
48. #43 - Racist rhetoric still alive and well in Czech
William ,   Israel   (06.04.12)
Please tell us which Intl Law Israel in breaking, and how. And use real laws, not the Court of Public Opinion which is worthless for a reason. And when you can prove private people, the so-called "Palestinians" have owned the land prior to Israel's statehood, using any current legal means, then please do so. Abbas of the PA tried in 2007 and was greatly embarrassed. Maybe you have the proof he needs.
49. #47 - Spyguy comments
Amichai ,   Huntsville, US   (06.05.12)
You're right, he's just a leftist moron who daydreams that he has the "inside information". He's made so many misinformed and outrageous statements on here that he HAS TO BE making fun of himself with his username. No serious person with as little knowledge about technology & clandestine operations would go by "spyguy". It's a joke!
