‘We don’t feel safe.’ As antisemitism threat rises, South Florida’s Jews arm themselves

“To be honest with you, I hate guns,” Peter, 76, shouted over the sound of gunshots Saturday afternoon as his wife took aim at a target at Gun World in Deerfield Beach. “But it’s better us than someone else.”

The Jewish couple had arrived for their Intro to Handguns lesson with Florida Firearms Training about noon. Peter, who asked to keep his last name private for safety reasons, had shot a rifle decades ago; his wife had never shot a gun before. By the end of the day they would be returning home with one.

So would Justine Youngleson, 58, and Sandi Lazar, 65, a South African Jewish couple from Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, and Jackie Rubin, 64, a former orthodox Jew who converted to Christianity, who wore a T-shirt with a giant heart on it and described herself as a “very peaceful person.”

Sorry for the spelling error: ... really BE ....

Not a recommendation, but a friend of mine suggested novices buy a flare gun. Apparently, they look real,require no license, and are good at hitting the target (and soliciting help). I’m just throwing that out for discussions, pro or con.

Good.

"Jewish residents are buying guns and learning to use them, many of them older, more liberal-leaning people"

Okay, now that you've seen the light, stop voting for Democrats/"progressives"/"liberals".

[Rummyfan]

It's better to arm yourself and be prepared. Odds are you'll never have to use it but as the saying goes: Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

And...

Si vis pacem, para bellum.

The animals don't care if you're very peaceful; you are prey.

“To be honest with you, I hate guns,” Peter, 76, shouted over the sound of gunshots..”

Well now, that’s too bad Peter. You shouldn’t have any,

[Bonemaker]

“Maybe now Jewish people will stop supporting leftist causes.”

Surely you jest.

[escapefromboston]

Well maybe a small percentage of them might think about rethinking their leftist positions.

They mention a t-shirt with heart on it. I for one am tired of this “From the River to the sea” business. I’m thinking of getting my own t-shirts printed up:

“From the River Tigris to the sea, the rise of Solomon’s old empire will come to be.”

Still working on exact wording. Maybe Euphrates instead of Tigris? Any positive suggestions will be appreciated.

“To be honest with you, I hate guns,” whine all Democrat pu55ies.

Don’t let this little anti-semitic bump in the road fool you, they want to take your guns and they will keep trying.

For home defense a pistol caliber carbine with a magazine loaded with hollow point is excellent.

Better late than never.

Hitler was a communist

They love marx

Hate Christians / republicans

[CodeToad]

Why is it noteworthy that jews arm themselves?

All kinds of people do it, so is this an attempt to claim jews are special targeted victims needing to arm up? Seems like gaslighting to me.

[Ann Archy]

And MOST of them will STILL VOTE DEMOCRAT!

[Ann Archy]

BINGO!!
