Even after Rosenfeld had already twice answered a similar question and recalled that most Israelis have served in the military and have undergone years of firearms training, Blitzer absurdly pressed the issue a third time in his final question:
Aren't you concerned, though, it's one thing for police and military to walk around with weapons, but it's another thing for civilians simply to be walking around with weapons. Some of them may be trained, some of them no so well-trained, Aren't you concerned that they might simply shoot before they really know for sure there's a danger?

How freakin' embarrassing? Self defense is so, so, so yucky isn't it sheep blitzen. Yes, they walk the streets and they vote.

It is strange how liberals normalize the Barbarians but are offended by self defense.

Wolf’s just upset that there aren’t more dead Jews.
To: rktman
Is he not aware that you pretty much have to be in the reserves to carry a weapon?
And that Israel has a real draft? Jewish people, Druze, (and recently) Arab Christians are subject to the draft. Many Bedouin volunteer.
Israel Arabs have the highest level of education and income of Arabs anywhere in the world.

It is strange how liberals normalize the Barbarians but are offended by self defense. Isn't it, though. Blitzer has joined them in Bizarro world, or maybe he's always been there.

OK, Blitzer, the Brave (or are you nothing but a sissy mouth?)—go there yourself and walk around unarmed on their streets. Let us know if you get back.

Why do you think Dr. Carson’s comments the other day about fighting back against an attacker caused such a collective knicker twist for the Left?

Hey Wolf!
Aren’t you really concerned that Jews defending themselves might actually be effective?
Why are you criticizing Jews for shooting the terrorist attempting to murder them?
Do you perceive they have some obligation to be a victim?
So, Wolf, when are you going to fire YOUR security?

What I do not get is how these idiots can not read any history book and figure out what happens to a population when only the elite have guns. He wants slavery for himself?....oh wait, he is the elite for the moment what about when he gets turned on or is no longer useful?
These idiots do not look at the next step coming or even care about their own families.
To: Jewbacca
Hey Jewbacca. How you been? Long time no hear. I think a lot of people have a huge misconception about carrying in Israel. Someone posted a piece about it on here once, I think but I could be wrong. From what I remember, it ain’t that easy and the number of rounds “authorized” is limited. Yes, no?

Considering his family history (parents were Holocaust survivors), he would realize how much antisemitism exists, and how deadly it is.

I'm thinking he was intellectually comatose at that time, also. ;-)
