The irony is that hamas may have forever cemented Israeli resolve against the 'palestinians' whereas the libs in the Knesset were previously embracing 'living in harmony'.
But tripling the number of armed civilians should merely be labeled 'a nice start'.
All these guns will lead to innocent people being shot! Oh, wait...
It’s unfortunate as to how it went about to learn why the Second Amendment can only be a natural right.
They will need training and ammo, but being armed is a good first step.
Israelis needs to get serious about their survival. It would be great to see young, leftist Israelis guarding Jews with M-16’s rather that spacing-out on TikTok. Or Hassidic Jews pulling guard duty with automatic weapons rather than dodging the draft.
One third of the men in each regiment were ready to assemble under arms in an instant and designated "Minutemen"
With the entire country mere seconds from attack 24/7, it’s crazy to prevent people from being able to defend themselves.
What would they be, Mirit? Who decides what they need to be, Mirit?
Just handguns? This is better but its nowhere near enough. It should include rifles and should include everybody who has served in the IDF.
20% arab population...there could be a reason they just aren’t letting their regular citizens semiauto rifles already. Maybe. They certainly don’t talk about this much, which is understandable I guess.
They sure need foreign help with super advanced weapon systems. I don’t begrudge them this. It sure seems like allowing their populace to effectively arm themselves would be a pretty cheap way to at least have a fighting chance when people with rifles are at the door though.
