GIVAT ZEEV, West Bank — The phones have been ringing nonstop at the Gun Hill shooting range, following a week of daily knife attacks by Palestinians and a clarion call by Israeli politicians requesting that permit holders should carry their pistols on their hips to help protect the citizenry against terrorists.
“It’s a madhouse,” said Yair Yifrach, general manger of the training center and gun shop here at a Jewish settlement north of Jerusalem.
Perhaps not the best choice of words for a shooting range. “But people are going a little crazy,” Yifrach said.
Israelis are frightened by violent demonstrations and daily attacks by Palestinians, not only in the West Bank but also in the heart of Israel...

I can’t believe the mass majority in Israel aren’t packing.
I was there in 2011 and many people do carry. Army personnel are all over.
(Zechariah 12:3) And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
(Zechariah 12:4) In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness.
(Zechariah 12:5) And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the LORD of hosts their God.
(Zechariah 12:6) In that day will I make the governors of Judah like an hearth of fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall devour all the people round about, on the right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, even in Jerusalem.
They all serve two years in the military and learn to shoot .
Everyone that is currently in the military has to carry their weapon no matter where they are .
Those that are out of the military carry if they get permits .
"Blessed be the LORD, my rock, who trains my hands for war, and my fingers for battle!" Psalm 144:1
The latest wave of attacks is all the more reason...
Mustlim safety is paramount. Treat every muslim as if it is loaded. Because, it just might be. Never look at the business end of a muslim. Do NOT rely on your muslims safety or being safe.
They used to carry handguns unloaded, mag in place and chamber a round while drawing: `Israeli carry’. Wouldn’t surprise me if that has changed.
The rule is, “every gun should be treated as if it were loaded.” What is the meaning of this rule? An unloaded gun is merely a heavy blunt object and as much a weapon as a baseball bat, table leg or tire iron. An unloaded gun retains the same properties as any heavy, oddly shaped piece of metal, and could be used as a paperweight, doorstop or crude hammer. Yet place a cartridge into the gun and it becomes an all new different object with inherited and unique characteristics.
Where as an unloaded gun is at best a crude weapon, a loaded gun is an effective deadly weapon, lethal with one shot. A loaded weapon can kill a loved one, an innocent, cause damage, or terrify those in its presence. Because a loaded gun is so powerful, and wields such creditable force, all guns should be treated with the same respect as if it were loaded, that is, until cleared. Guns shouldn’t be left around children or any individual unknowledgeable of such an instrument. Guns are prohibited from being around certain people and banned from certain areas and buildings.
Knowing this rule, all Muslims and Arabs should be treated as if they were terrorists, until checked and cleared. A Muslim that is not a terrorist is simply a human being, capable of feelings and desires. Wanting nothing more than to live and be happy. A human being like any other, able to make his own decisions and strive to live a successful and fruitful life. The non-terrorist could be an architect, doctor, lawyer, ditch digger or burger flipper. The non-terrorist is a human being that may not be entirely content with the way things are, but for the most part accepts the world and lives within the laws. The non-terrorist as any human being chooses to enact change through a civilized method and procedure. Yet, if a bullet of Jihad and hatred is inserted into a Muslim then a very different being is created, a being that ceases to be human and becomes a terrorist.
The Muslim terrorist is lethal weapon, deadly with one explosion. Terrorists strike fear into the masses, and is a vehicle of death and sorrow. Muslims have destroyed buses, pizzerias, naval ships, embassies and skyscrapers. These same terrorists, highjack airliners, and kill Olympic athletes. They blow up nightclubs, military barracks, mosques, synagogues, desecrate burial sites, and randomly kill women, men, young and old. These terrorists kill anyone who does not completely agree their ideology, and destroys anything that may be an obstacle to his hate filled movement. Possessing such power of destruction makes a terrorist a serious concern. Because Muslims have been the most successful and prolific of all terrorists, all Muslims should be treated as terrorists, until proven otherwise.
Until checked and cleared, all Muslims should be kept away from Jews, Israel, mass transportation, media outlets, political bodies, and governing councils. It is all to well known that those safety measures are not in place. Tenacity and sure will alone has not made Arab Muslims effective terrorists. Arabs are cowards, and are absent a backbone. One Arab Muslim man will not fight one Jew, nor will two Arab Muslims fight two Jews however, a pack of 10 Arab Muslims will gang up on one Black Hatter, or on one Jewish girl. This absence of a backbone necessitates a need for support, of which they do not simply gain from themselves but gain from the media, left-wing organizations and the international body politic.
When Muslim leaders speak, they speak with hatred. When that hate speech is given a legitimate voice, that hatred manifests itself in a internationally supported and accepted terrorist organization, namely the PLO, or as the United Nations calls it the Palestinian Authority (PA). The United Nations has given terrorists, Arafat and Ahmadinijad a voice and a legitimate vessel in which to spread the idea of Jihad. The UN gave a gun-toting and military-uniformed Arafat a platform in which he could spread his vision of peace, or rather vision of pieces of Jewish bodies laying in the street. Recently, Ahmadinijad was allowed to speak, his speech came shortly after he left a conference entitled “A world without Zionism” in which he professed a will and desire to wipe the “Zionist Entity” off the map. This is the same man whose country Iran supports Hamas, the governing body of the PA.
The news media has turned terrorists into victims and glorified them as “freedom fighters.” The entertainment industry has produced such pro-Palestinian and pro-terrorist films as “Paradise Now”, “Syriana”, and ironically “Munich”. Each, painting the Muslim terrorist in a sympathetic light, and placing the blame for Middle Eastern woes on heartless Zionists and greedy Westerners.
Jews and Western leaders are also at fault. The Israeli government all too often acquiesces to Arab demands and cow tows to their needs. Instead of protecting the rights Jewish citizens’, the government is more concerned with protecting Arab rights, and operates in constant fear of infringing on them. The Israeli government has kicked Jews out homes and off property, and given large tracks of land to terrorists. Homes of peaceful Jews are demolished due to “illegality”, while illegal Arab buildings are ignored. Contrary to law, Jews aren’t allowed to pray at the Temple Mount, while Muslims are not only allowed to pray but are allowed to operate a mosque built on top of the Temple Mount, a mosque that not only represents Muslim terrorism but acts as inspiration for such violence.
Not all Arabs or Muslims are terrorists, but they should be treated as such. When a Swede is an anti-Semite and speaks hate, no one cares or pays attention. Sweden may or may not have a history of anti-Semitism, but they don’t have a history of terrorism. Swedes don’t walk around with 20-pounds of explosives taped their bodies. However, when a noticeably Arab or Muslim person wearing a big coat walks onto a bus, riders instantly think, “he may be carrying a bomb.” Both the Arab and Muslim community has worked long and hard to earn that distinction.
When international organizations, news and entertainment media legitimize terrorist movements and causes, they in effect point loaded guns at Jews, Western civilization and civilization as whole. When Israel condoles Arab Muslims and protects their rights at the expense of Jewish lives, Israel fosters Jihad terrorism. When the government of a Western nation refuses to profile Arabs and Muslims as they board planes and trains, fearing that such a policy will be seen as insensitive, that very government has allowed a gun to be left out in the open for anyone to pick up.
Yet the question must always be asked: Is the Muslim loaded?
A blogger went into an Israeli gun shop to find out how one gets a license to have a pistol in Israel. It's not as easy as we in the US think. Israel does NOT have "constitutional carry". You need a license to even own a pistol, and you are limited to just one pistol. To get the license, you additionally need to have a certification from your doctor that you are mentally and physically fit to have a gun.
An article in the Jewish Press confirms much of what the blog article says.
From the Article:
“A lot of untrained Israelis running around with weapons would be a big mess,” he said.
As you said, the vast majority of Israelis are trained.
Israel was founded as a socialist state. It shows.
They have been slowly moving toward reality. They have been forced to.
They need to change this ASAP—so the regular Israeli joes can protect themselves.

Leaving Israel through the airport they have the most depressing art work as you go to your gate. All social depressing crap. No Washington crossing the Delaware. Concentration images that made a lasting bad impression.
Looking of that video this morning of the person engaging the attacker, they should be flocking to buy something with more stopping power.

21 foot rule. If someone with a knife is within 21 feet of you and charges, most people will not be able to pull a gun to defend themselves before they are stabbed...
O.K. I’m weird, there are women in bikinis and the first thing I do is identify the weapons they are carrying!?!?!
Anyone can own a gun in Israel(Especially since you have to join the military when you turn 18) My cousin served in the military and she carries a gun everywhere especially with everything that is going on she doesn’t feel safe anywhere. Can’t get on a bus, can’t walk the streets without fear, meanwhile here in America they want to take our guns away
