1. Only democrats would combine these two requests.
David ,   Hartford USA   (08.01.14)
First, the USA should truly close the southern border so that 'parentless' kids won't be forced there, and secondly, the funding of Iron Dome has NOTHING to do with the first! Only the Obama administration would combine the two in order to get funding for a massive babysitting project for illegal aliens. Obama: no money for my illegals, no money for Iron Dome to protect Israel from Hamas rockets. He's real piece of work, isn't he?
2. God knows what humans are about
US citizen ,   Atlanta, US   (08.01.14)
and what it will cost them. It will certainly cost humans that curse Israel more than human cursing will cost Israel.
3. What's $225 million for the US, who finances the terrorist
A ,   Belgium   (08.01.14)
PA "unity government" with a $500 million annual handout.
4. American Jews who vote Democrat
DvorahTheProphetess ,   SC, USA   (08.01.14)
in our upcoming mid-term elections, YOU are GULLIBLE to hang onto the false drivel of the democrat agenda as they attach $$ Aid To Israel into their disreputable "immigration" plan – and you are GUILTY of subverting the sanctity of America as well as the sanctity of Israel.
5. Had they made iron domes properly they'd have big success
Chaim ,   Israel   (08.01.14)
The iron domes should be able to return the rockets back to where it came from and voila! they're all dead in Gaza and the best part would be that the UN would not even be able to accuse Israel of "innocent" "civilians" being killed.
6. Sheldon Adelson, Michael Bloomberg, get out your checkbooks!
David ,   Hartford USA   (08.01.14)
If Israel can't depend on the USA, it must depend on plain citizens, just as it always has had to. Politics as usual in the congress. Makes me want to vomit. We'll remember this in November!
7. I wonder what Israelis will say when they are offered
Miron ,   USA   (08.01.14)
to shave 10 pennies from price of ice - cream or add 10 pennies per cone for Iron Dome funding... I mean entire Jewish nation dying from being worried sick.
8. US Congress will fund 90%+ extremely successful Iron Kippah
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (08.01.14)
9. Israel's reliance should be on G-d...
Jake Stone ,   USA   (08.01.14)
...and not on funds by the United States! Enough of listening to these world leaders' trying to micromanage Israel's internal politics. Israel is a sovereign nation that doesn't need help, from anyone, to manage their own affairs. Israel needs to, seriously, tell idiots, like Obama and Kerry, to butt-out! God bless Israel!!!
10. So, the Terrorist in Chief made them an offer they couldn't
tom ,   tel aviv   (08.01.14)
refuse?
11. Iron Dome Funding
Df2 ,   Beer Sheva, Israel   (08.01.14)
Ynet in Hebrew says that the senate has approved the funding - probably in the wake of the collapse of the cease fire due to hamas not following through
