Hamas Massacres: The New Face of Gun Control
American Thinker ^ | 21 Oct, 2023 | Hank Vanderbeek

Posted on 10/21/2023 6:16:33 AM PDT by MtnClimber

The lesson of October 7 is clear: Never ever give up your guns, because the minute you do, you become a helpless victim.

On October 7, the day Hamas attacked Israel, Inbal Rabin-Lieberman, a 25-year-old security coordinator at the Kibbutz Nir Am settlement located near the Gaza Strip, saved lives because she had a gun. After the kibbutz came under attack, Inbal hurriedly opened the armory and distributed guns to the twelve-member security team.

She caught the Hamas murderers unawares because they were not expecting to meet armed resistance. Lieberman killed five terrorists while the others gunned down twenty-five before the Israeli Defense Force arrived. Because of her actions, Nir-Am was the only settlement bordering the Gaza Strip that did not suffer Israeli casualties during Hama’s attack.

The number of Israelis killed in the terrorist attack is over 1,400. How many of those deaths could have been averted had more Israelis owned guns? Israel has draconian gun-control laws, worse than those in New York City. Only three percent (3%) of Israeli citizens own guns (compared to about thirty-two percent (32%) of U.S. citizens).

The NY Daily News reports that less than one percent (about 0.5%) of New York City residents have legal handguns. Jews comprise approximately nine percent (9%) of New York City's population, the largest Jewish community in the world outside of Israel.

New York City is trying ridiculously hard to keep guns away from the residents with its draconian gun “safety” laws including unconstitutional, vague, and broad no-carry zones. New York declared much of the city to consist of sensitive locations where legally permitted guns are outlawed. Times Square and Central Park will be gun-free sensitive locations. Gun-free meaning only those bent on murder and mayhem will be carrying a gun.

I don't own a bowling ball.

I only rented them years ago for bowling pins.

I am not taking the plea deal.

I never knocked someone in the head even though bowling for pins was fun.

I lost my bowling ball in a tragic boat accident.

What changed? Why had readiness dropped to the point that of all the towns/kibbutzim and the music festival (!) that were attacked, only one of them had a security team leader with the presence of mind to prepare for battle?

Israel had relative peace the past 20 years so they became complacent. And they're mostly liberal. Kind of like Jews you'll meet in New York City.

I never had many bowling balls.

I had them in my canoe when I was caught in a Cat 5 hurricane and hit a coral reef and sank, drowning while trying to swim with them.

The biggest take away from Oct 7th is that we are surrounded by domestic terrorists, spouting the same decolonization rhetoric, who are capable of a massacre. The threat is at our front door.

Quite frankly, the popes got about as good results from the crusades that we got from A-stan. There are an awful lot of Muslim terrorists. They grow like weeds.

Just so!

IIRC, there is universal military service in Israel; IOW, most men and women are trained in the use of military small arms.

Is that still the case?

To my understanding Israeli Jews still have to serve in the IDF, although I think some groups of Jews are exempt. Israel does not conscript Muslim or Christian Israelis, although they may volunteer to serve. Druze and Circassian man are required to serve in the IDF.

Like I said before, I wonder if the lack of small arms for defensive use for the citizenry is because of demographics, and not simply lib garbage juice about guns.

Thanks for the comeback.

What we really need is someone on this thread who has lived in Israel recently and knows the current situation to jump in and enlighten us!

FReegards backatcha!
