“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.

How to get a gun permit in Israel? Ben-Gvir wants easy firearm licenses

by Doris Wise Montrose on February 7, 2023

The absurdity of private gun ownership in Israel of all places.

Following a pair of terrorist attacks in Jerusalem over the weekend, National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir revived the proposal to ease the process for Israeli citizens to obtain firearms licenses. Many may wonder what Israel’s current gun laws are, and what is difficult about the process at the moment.

“It’s not as difficult as it sounds,” said Yehuda Elcharar of the law firm Decker, Pex, Ofir & Co, who specializes in helping those seeking to obtain licenses. “Those that go through it see that it’s much easier than they thought.”

There is no right to bear arms in Israel, but Israeli citizens who have lived in the state for at least three years and have basic Hebrew knowledge can earn a firearm if they meet certain eligibility criteria.

"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 or mitigated, had the perpetrators known their intended victims were equipped with a rifle and twenty bullets apiece, as the Militia Act required here. ...
