I was surprised to learn that the population of Israel has been disarmed and that only 2% of the population owns or is allowed to use guns.
The videos on the attack on Israel are horrifying, once Hamas overtook the frontier defenses, they were allowed to roam free in pickups and motorcycles and go from house to house into a completely defenseless population.
I recall seeing a video taken from the balcony of a building in which Hamas terrorist could be seen in a white pickup parked on the street. I kept thinking: They are sitting ducks! why doesn't the guy take his rifle and shoot them dead instead of shooting a video?
It was only later that I found out that Israelis don't own guns. Why?
That horror will be repeated here in the USA if we ever allow the leftist nutcases destroy our second amendment.
I propose that Israel should re-arm their population, and that we should never relinquish our rights.
What a horrible example of what happens when the government disarms their population.
Apparently they need a few million AR-15’s from our MAGA arsenal. We wouldn’t even notice.
After the Holocaust you’d think every Jewish boy would get his own Uzi at his Bar Mitzvah.
ok. so there were plain clothes family members fighting back at the point of invasion then?
This is strange since Israelis can own guns. This process is not that difficult and yet makes it difficult for crooks to get them. If you own a gun in Israel you can carry it openly.
Maybe they became complacent but I would have thought once you served you would want a gun as a civilian.
“I thought all Israelis were armed”

So did I. I think that used to be the case.
Who makes those decisions? Look at a map of the middle east and see what countries surround Israel. Compare sizes. Brutal enemies. Why would Israel not allow its citizens to be armed? I don’t get it.
But the Israeli gov made sure the population got all of their covid vaccines.
Yes, every American should have a gun, and carry. Laws preventing this should be rescinded, as a violate our constitutional rights. Well, Israel should do the same, they’ve got a problem that they probably don’t want to arm their citizens who are members of the Islamic cult.
They just relaxed gun control laws so they must have existed. Israel’s judicial system is liberal. That could explain it.
Yep, a bunch of Prog Liberal Socialist Jews shot themselves in the foot, ...
and got 1100 Jews and others Murdered as captives.
Good Job Gun Controllers!
Hope you're remembered for you're accomplishments.
Personal choice since nobody hunts......
It may be difficult but it's not impossible
Don’t worry, our woke government will protect us.
“Far too few have the balls to pull the trigger now against their own government.”
I believe this to be true too. I bet if gun confiscation was implemented, most gun owners would meekly comply. The idea that police forces are the goods guys is ingrained too deep.
Here is a link to explain them. From the link:
In other words, what are the accepted reasons for carrying a gun in Israel? The desire to a obtain a weapon for self-defense is not considered sufficient reason for obtaining a private firearms permit. In order to obtain the license, one must meet one of several criteria specified in the procedures. The criteria include those who live or work beyond the Green Line (the West Bank area or one of the few “communities entitled to weapons” within the Green Line), serve in the security forces (or the police, the Shin Bet, airport security, etc.) or who needs to carry a weapon in their line of work (a security guard, a tour guide, a certified farmer, an explosives carrier, a shooting instructor).
Government that renders citizens defenseless as bad as attackers.
Attack on Israel made worse due to disarmed population

No doubt. I would also expect to see this headline....
Attack on Israel made worse due to CLIMATE CHANGE
Israel's base law for gun control was passed in 1949.
they sure all did get jabbed almost to the person.
in fact it was early leaking of israeli data on adverse effects and the failure to protect against the wuflu that helped convinced me to pass on the jab for me and mine.
Must have been proposed and passed by German Jews who still thought the government could do no wrong.
If the Israel population really wants to punish this type of government bad then go after every single politician who approved, promoted and sponsored this and fire them. Ban them from public office for life. A slap on the hand is not enough and we can all see why.
Israel was created as a Socialist State. The idea was the government has near unlimited power. Israel has slowly been turning toward market capitalism, as socialism does not work well.
