I am Jewish, and these people do not speak for me AT ALL! They presume to speak for all Jews, but in actuality don’t. Yes, those Jews in cities tend to be crazy liberal (I am, regrettably, related to a few and know a few more), but there are a lot of us that have taken the lessons of our history (both Jewish and American) to heart and are well armed. I, for example, pity the person or people that tries to assault my synogogue - because our congregation is very well armed.

The problem with so many of these so-called “religious leaders” is one of advertising - they may be Jews by birth (or some half-baked conversion), but they are in reality worshippers of Liberalism rather than the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Again, they don’t speak for me, nor for many, many Jews. In other words, they are JINOs.

Three holidays during the year deal with armed Jews defending themselves. In chronological order of the events:

1) Passover - “...and the children of Israel went up armed out of the land of Egypt.” Exodus 13:18.

2) Purim - the edict of the Persian Emporer, signed at the behest of Haman, could not be rescinded. However, the Emporer allowed the Jews of his empire to resist any who would kill them with arms - and something like 75,000 Persians who tried to kill the Jews were themselves killed by the now-armed Jews.

3) Channukah - this holiday celebrates the recapture of the Holy Temple from the Greeks who had defiled it, and its rededication. This recapture was by force of arms - it was a resistance movement to recover their nation so as to be free to worship God. By necessity, these heroic freedom-fighters (the Maccabbees) were, of course, armed.

These modern worshippers of a false god display no knowledge of Jewish history, nor of Jewish law. The 6th Commandment says “thou shalt not murder” (NOT, as so many ill-informed people think, “thou shalt not kill”). It speaks to unjustified killings - and clearly leaves room for justified killings, such as personal defense and war. Exodus 22 discusses the lack of bloodguilt for killing a thief trying to enter one’s home, and the Talmud (a series of books developed over the course of hundreds of years to fully explain the 5 Books of Moses) discussion of this Exodus passage introduces the classic Jewish principle of self-defense, “Im ba l’hargekha, hashkem l’hargo,” “If someone comes to kill you, rise up and kill him (first).” If there is homicidal intent, self-defense is more than permitted; it is required. This is a common principle of all legal systems, America’s included.

Again, don’t believe that these Leftist Jews speak for either all Jews or for the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - they are busy worshipping another god, Liberalism.
