Dennis ,   USA   (02.14.14)
Great news. Now... If we can take this to the next step, and figure out how to use lasers as an Offensive weapon, we'd be in great shape....Kol Hakavod to Israeli genius! as my mother has been saying all her life:"a Yidden gibbenzuch an aitzeh"!
2. is a great news for Israel.....
Calibi ,   Sydney Aust   (02.14.14)
Israel God bless you but please do not give away to your potential enemies!
3. Avnish Patel is very wrong
Alexander Scheiner ,   Israel   (02.14.14)
Israels actual enemies, who are keen to attack and destroy Israel are: Iran with ist proxies Hetzbollah and Hamas, then the PA with ist affiliated PLO and Fatah and Syria. Other latent enemies are: Pakistan, Turkey and Saudi Arabia, and some islamic terrorgoups. Its better for Israel to be well protected, isnt it so? rememberamalek.blogspot

Please translate, my Yiddish is horrible. shalom
5. Bravel to Rafael!
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.14.14)
Let's not share this technology just yet. Its importance rests in its political capital; we don't need the cash. It's all about leverage. See if we can't put an end to international blackmail of Israel. This is a game-changing advancement; why not use it to change the rules of the game? Be nice to play using our rules, for a change.

7. And, of course, there's this ...
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.14.14)
"It works by shooting laser beams at targets which are heated so rapidly they disintegrate in an instant." Wow! Israel can rid itself of some long-standing thorns. We know where they live. And -- taking a page out of NATO's book -- collateral damage? So what? Pest control is very important to good hygiene.
8. No oil, no water, no wood
Shmifke ,   Dublin   (02.14.14)
Israel. Main Export: Brains. What an awesome country! Brilliant life-loving people!
9. Too bad we can't put up a laser shield around country !

13. Cold War deja vu
Cameron ,   USA   (02.14.14)
Every week it's become a race between Israelis & Persians to announce the latest heavy toys & upgrades.
14. Nice article and info.
Beary White ,   Norway   (02.14.14)
We know other laser-weapons have been tested, but the Iron-Beam seems to be the most effective one. This is very, very god news. Excellent.
15. To: Cameron at No. 13
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.15.14)
The difference being -- guess which ones are real? Guess which ones are fairy tales? If Iran could, they'd destroy Israel and explain later. Israel, on the other hand, can reduce Iran to dust, but chooses not to ... just yet. Decision subject to change, without prior notice.
16. Laser Shield -
Edward ,   Sderot, Israel   (02.15.14)
Its a good news for Kerry. Now he can demand from Israel to vacate more land Pali's want, since there's no more security treats for Israel. They would install new technology (Laser Shield) to protect Israel, as they plan to do in Jordan Valley. Israel again in a loss.
17. #15-"reduce Iran to dust, " it would be nice but "nope".
Jewishness ,   AMERICA THE BEAUTIUL   (02.16.14)
Sorry to say but "persia" is a very big, (no longer a lovely country,) but a spread out tribal desert and the irans can easily hide/bury everything in the vast sands... (besides their empty heads). Unless Israel already knows where all their good stuff is hidden it would not be easy pickings. but don't stop. Go Sarah, go! you tell'em!
