Excellent article. Since October 7, my eyes have really been opened as to the gun ownership situation in Israel. Like most everyone else, I did think that Israelis carried guns everywhere they went. It would only make sense that they did.
The Israeli government should re-think that policy.
I know. I was in the same boat as you, and was surprised to find out it isn’t true.
I don’t fall into the same trap when it comes to females in the Israeli Defense Force.
The Left (and some on the right) trumpet that we should follow the example of the IDF when it comes to females in combat because, according to them, it has a fully integrated military.
I was skeptical, but relieved to find out the Israelis had tinkered with it many years ago and saw the truth that females should NOT serve in direct combat units.
Anyone with common sense knows this, but we also recognize that if there were a full shooting war and the Israelis were losing, like any rational nation, they would use every single asset in desperate combat to turn the tide, and that includes females in combat as well.
