1. Dronegate - did Obama intentionally pass Iran the Stelth Tec
(02.10.18)
I remember when this happened and instead of blowing it up or sending a team in Obama allowed the Iranian to grab a one of the most advanced drones in the world fully intact.

Lets see so far.

Iran Deal
Released israels Nuclear secrets
Gave Iran information on various plans to attacks from Saudi-Azerbajan.
Was it US or Turkey who betrayed Israeli intelligence and gave up their spy networks in a number of countries.
Obama supporting Morsi the Muslim Brotherhood
Helped Hizballah by arming them and allowing their global drug trade to continue.
Warned Arch terrorist mastermind Solimeini of an assassination threat.
Gave up Israel numerous times when random attacks where carried out in Syria and beyond..

IS THERE ANYTHING OBAMA DID IN FOREIGN POLICY WHICH HASNT LED TO THE CHAOS WE SEE TODAY?

There is so much more, an idiot could write a book, on Obama Betrayal of not just Israel and the Jews but the USA, Western society and values as a whole.
2. THE ISSUE :
TEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED HONESTY   (02.10.18)
Part of the problem is Israel's over-inflated opinion of its abilities ,in other words israelis are shocked that their enemies could shoot down an israeli warplane. Instead, israelis should be more realistic and understand that their enemies also have capabilities. Why be surprised that an israeli jet fell? better to expect that might happen.
3. First clear stating missiles fired while planes still over I

-srael.
Othr analyses still afraid to admit to it.
4. Look Back In Anger
DSM ,   USA   (02.11.18)
Israel can not win a war by simply responding to each individual attack. They must look at how WWII was won ( the last war won by the United States ) and realize that enemy homelands need to be destroyed and the civilians in those countries will force their military to surrender. Fighting like the U.S. did in Korea, Viet Nam and is fighting in Afghanistan, with no strike zones, will cause Israel to perish by 1000 cuts.
5. A breach of sovereignty!?
AIO   (02.11.18)
I wonder how Syria attacked an Israeli airplane that just attacked target in Syria a breach of Israel sovereignty but Israel using Lebanon airspace for attacking other countries or at all for several years attacking other countries (in this case Syria) for several year is not a breach of sovereignty at all ?
6. what a shame
observer ,   Egypt   (02.11.18)
moves from aggression to defense
7. Bells are ringing the End of israel's superiority in air
ironbutterfly ,   Naples, FL   (02.11.18)
8. BHO: Confused child of western libation & Islamic sympathy.
JVC ,   LA/TA   (02.11.18)
9. Speedy recovery to the airmen.
DOV ,   USA   (02.11.18)
Let's hope for no escalation.
10. Assymetric response to iranian threat
Juha Teuvonnen ,   Boston MA   (02.11.18)
Start with bombing Iranian oil rigs and terminals in the Persian gulf. While you are at it, drop bunker busters on their nuclear installations. See if they get the message.
11. Israel should make Syria pay
ellen ,   omaha   (02.11.18)
Israel has every right to defend herself - especially from the nazified thugs that lord it over Syria. That regime is simply despicable - as is the rest of Syria. I hope Israel levels them - blow it back to the Stone Age.
12. assumptios
jochair thijssen ,   kfar saba israel   (02.11.18)
asuumptions are always dangerous, assuming that Iranians would not dare firing missilesover Israel was wrong and lead to bad losses.
I am glad it was not an ambush, thanks for this analysis.
13. Nobody's "shocked" that our plane got downed. Only idiots &
(02.11.18)
religious believe in miracles.(BTW: we've had this "miracle" of being untouchable in the air for over 30 years now!)
What counts is our swift and decisive response.
14. More proof that Iron Dome is just propaganda.
Zippy's Used Cars ,   Levittown, NY   (02.11.18)
15. WOULD NOT HAPPEN TO TOM CRUISE
CAPTAIN SARCASTIC ,   SAFED CYNIC HOUSE   (02.11.18)
16. Nonsense
Sholem ,   Dolev   (02.12.18)
We've just bought f35 planes... We have even better air superiority now. Tough luck for you antisemitic trolls
