Gun permit applications are soaring as Israelis arm themselves amid the Palestinian unrest that has claimed 21 lives this month and injured some 1,300 people.
The public security ministry said yesterday that requests for a weapon licence had jumped by “a double-digit percentage” and police have had to deploy extra staff to cope with the demand…
Gilad Erdan, the public security minister, said that he wanted to relax the rules further. “Clearly we cannot assign a police officer to protect every citizen,” he said. “So self-defence is vital.”
No surprises there, though it is worth noting if everyone in the region, Israelis and Palestinians alike, were suddenly swimming in cash, the anti-gunners would be pushing to ban carry, and be doing so from a considerably better position.
The same thing is happening stateside:
More Jews in the U.S. have decided on keeping themselves armed in light of the recent terror attacks taking place across Israel, according to a New York Post opinion piece published Tuesday.
I was surprised by why:
The op-ed appeared after two Israeli rabbinical students were assaulted with Molotov cocktails in New York City on Friday. The incident was the second suspected hate attack against Jews in New York that weekend.
I would think that would have been a national news story, but then again, Jews probably are classified as white, so no big deal. Unlike if freshman Mohammed gets detention for bringing a fake suitcase nuke to class and pretending to set off the detonation sequence in the middle of class – obviously that would have to lead.
Given a socialist took over as Mayor a few years back, maybe it is more surprising the attack was merely with Molotov Cocktails, and not a couple of LAW anti-tank rockets and a SAW.
Apocalypse cometh™ and the Jews won’t disagree.

Yes, my landlord has a gun range near my house, so I drop off his check there. Normally, it’s empty, last week it was absolutely packed with every kind of Israeli. Young, old, army, Haredi, secular. They were all having a good time too.
I guess when K selected get together, they feel safer and more upbeat, because the wolf pack is more effective. But when r-selected get together they feel even more hateful and mistrustful because even tho the herd is better able to fend off the predators, they all know they can’t trust one another.
People are also getting angrier and angrier with the betrayals of the government, what you predicted regarding the r-selected in power is very clearly happening. and it is wonderful to see people finally waking up.
Also, last week on a day that had seven reported attacks, an acquaintance of mine who has a friend at the US embassy, said that the actual number was around 70, the government is desperate to cover it up, because they know the populace would turn on them.
This is something else, that is to be expected as we see from the unreported crime of the migrant invasion in Germany and England.
To a great extent, American Jews have applauded and encouraged the policies that have brought us to the looming apocalypse. Whether they are now starting to see the light remains to be seen. I suspect most simply won’t make the connection.
Gonna stop commenting on this blog as for some reason my comments are always held in moderation for several days if not weeks. Difficult to be part of the discussion like that. Too bad, because it is an interesting blog.
Yeah, I’ve gotta moderate a couple of times a day or get a captcha. Still, if any haven’t shown up after three or four days, Then they have been grabbed by the spam filter. I tried going through those each day, but I can’t keep up.
