Apparently they need a few million AR-15’s from our MAGA arsenal. We wouldn’t even notice.

When I lived there in the 80s, everyone that was released from active duty took their weapons home and maintained them until they retired from their yearly call up duty - one month a year until? Don't remember.

After the Holocaust you’d think every Jewish boy would get his own Uzi at his Bar Mitzvah.

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 Laws preventing this should be rescinded, as a violate our constitutional rights.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.

It was only later that I found out that Israelis don't own guns. Why?

Personal choice since nobody hunts......

It may be difficult but it's not impossible

“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.

Israeli gun laws are quite strict.

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.

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.
