2. Chancellor Merkel, we are very grateful
CJK   (02.25.14)
although germany and israel have disagreements, the sale to israel of the dolphin class submarines help the jewish state to fight existential threats posed by her genocidal enemies.
3. Most Time Spent Off Lebanon/Syria. Interesting
David H ,   Marietta USA   (02.25.14)
I wonder what accounts for the other 40-50% of the sub's activities, but I'm also glad no one is taking about it. I also find it very strange that there isn't a sub base in Eilat.
4. MAD only solution
Nuchosh   (02.25.14)
Israel needs thousands of submarines
5. Germany must not like Iran or Israel
Nuchosh   (02.25.14)
Subs here and nukes there. They hate equally.
6. Bennett & Submarines
Michael ,   Haifa   (02.26.14)
Make the arrogant Naftali Bennett read this piece in German
7. #4: dangerously wrong!

"mutually assured destruction" only works when both sides want to survive. this is not the case with the death cult of fanatical islam - as evidenced in microcosm by suicide bombers, for example. the mullahs in iran believe in "mahdaviat", which means bringing about the return of the mahdi, by precipitating armageddon. which their prophesy says they will lose. nuclear destruction is no more of a deterrent, than the threat of death is to a suicide bomber. otherwise, why do you think they're constantly provoking israel and america, with nuclear weapons that they don't even have yet?
8. Congratulations
olavi ,   Espoo, Finland   (02.26.14)
Israel has skills to use the submarines as effective weapon against any threat. This is good.
9. #6, Lefty,if you didn't serve in Sayeret Matkal like Bennett

did you have no right to criticize.
10. To: No. 6

Don't be so smug and self-righteous, Michael. If Germany were to SELL -- and they SELL them; they are not GIFTS -- ten thousand submarines to the State of Israel, it would amount to a drop in the bucket compared to the worth of art, bank accounts, businesses and property stolen from the Jewish people by the Germans. Some of the art is, of course, priceless. The monetary value, in today's dollars, of Jewish tangible personal property and business interests, is in the quadrillions. And what about the fully paid-up whole life policies that German insurance companies to this day have refused to honor? Something about the beneficiaries being unable to produce certified death certificates. Auschwitz, Dachau, Belsen, Buchenwald et cetera, ad nauseum, were not in the habit of issuing them, of course, but that scarcely matters to the insurers. With interest and penalties, that number reaches into the high quadrillions of dollars, too. And, of course, there is the matter of six million Jews murdered by the Germans and their collaborators. No dollar value can be placed on that. Do you suppose Chancellor Merkel can address those issues -- in Hebrew or in German? Your post is childish at best. It is also remarkably stupid. Wow -- childish AND stupid. That's a pretty good description of you, Michael.
11. #6 Stupidity
Daniel ,   TA - IL   (02.26.14)
Benett was 100% correct. Also the reason that germany builts the submarines according to IL demands is to learn a thing or 2. IL technolgy enhanced and 100 times improved the similators to train submarine crews edat siemens fcilities in the benelux... Germans will do not with jews woithou benefitting 6,000,000 times. But then again people without the slightest knowledge, can only speak from irrelevant hatred benett was right to scold the hamas supporter schultz who spread vicious jewhating lies in the israeli parliament!
