“We can either live in a paranoid politically correct world frantically trying not to offend the Hitlers and Mohammeds, and blaming their victims when they kill, or we can be free men and women who have chosen to take the power to defend our rights into our own hands.

While a thousand organizations use the Holocaust as a platform for speeches about tolerance, Children Of Jewish Holocaust Survivors [Jews Can Shoot] is conducting firearms training… Freedom is not defended with empty idealism easily perverted into appeasement of evil, but with the force of arms.”

All too many of the other great tragedies of history - Stalin's atrocities, the killing fields of Cambodia, the Holocaust, to name but a few - were perpetrated by armed troops against unarmed populations. Many could well have been avoided mitigated, had the perpetrators known their intended victims were equipped with a rifle and twenty bullets apiece... If a few hundred Jewish fighter in the Warsaw Ghetto could hold off the Wehrmacht for almost a month with only a handful weapons, six million Jews armed with rifles could not so easily have been herded into cattle cars.

Gun-toting rabbi says congregants should arm themselves

by Jews Can Shoot on October 29, 2018

‘“You must have it,” Rabbi Gary Moscowitz said of armed congregants. “A guy comes in with a gun, and what can they do? Throw chairs at them? We’re sitting ducks here.”’

#SittingDucksNoMore

A New York City rabbi has renewed his call to arm shul-goers after an anti-Semitic gunman killed 11 people at a Pittsburgh synagogue Saturday.

“You must have it,” Rabbi Gary Moskowitz said of armed congregants. “A guy comes in with a gun, and what can they do? Throw chairs at them? We’re sitting ducks here.”

Moskowitz, a former cop, founded a group called the International Security Coalition of Clergy, which previously sought to arm Jews in synagogues out of fear jihadists would attack them.

Moskowitz is now once again calling on Jews to train and apply for permits to carry guns in their synagogues following the Pittsburgh attack — and he’s not alone.

“Several people in every synagogue should have the right to carry a premise permit,” Moskowitz said.

“I’m in favor,” added Rabbi Joseph Potasnik, executive vice president of the New York Board of Rabbis.

“I would like to see some protection,” he said. “It could serve as a deterrent.”

Fear of being shot by armed Jews. That's what will stop them.
