The message from Jews Can Shoot to Americans is to stay armed and to support the Second Amendment. A message from the history of the Holocaust. Now lets take the message from Israel after the savage atrocities of October 7.
A significant change is happening in the historic town of Safed, Israel. Once known for its ancient Jewish mysticism, this town is now a hub for civilian armament. The reasons behind this shift offer valuable lessons for American gun owners who believe in self-reliance and community defense.
Self-Reliance & Community Defense
Eyal Ben-Ari, a resident of Safed, joined a civilian militia to protect his family. Initially, he was uncomfortable with carrying a weapon. The idea of sleeping with a gun under his pillow and the presence of a real firearm in his home, especially after his 13-year-old son brought home a toy replica, made him uneasy. However, as he faced the reality of the threats around him, he realized it was necessary for their safety.
Eyal’s story resonates with many Americans who support the Second Amendment. For us, the right to bear arms is not just about owning a gun; it’s about having the means to protect ourselves, our families, and our communities when the situation demands it.
Eyal’s experience highlights a crucial point: armed citizens can make all the difference in a crisis, especially when official responses are delayed or inadequate.
Consider a scenario where police have been defunded, and law enforcement or even military response is slow. Just as in Safed, where Hezbollah’s rockets posed a constant threat, there are times when immediate action is required to protect loved ones and property. Eyal’s decision to join a civilian militia reflects a broader principle of self-reliance and readiness that many American gun owners hold dear. It’s about being prepared and ensuring that we can defend our homes and communities, no matter what.
