Joe Mantegna, star of the CBS television show Criminal Minds, plans to auction off two of his Tavor rifles to fundraise for "Friends of the IDF", a New York City-based organization that lends material support to the Israeli military.
According to a press release from IWI-US, Mantegna will conduct an auction for two Tavor rifles produced by IWI. Gains from the auction will go to "Friends of the IDF".
Interestingly, "Israel Weapon Industries-US" (IWI-US) is co-sponsoring the Sunday event, along-with "Bullets & Bagels", a Jewish gun club in Orange County, California.
Event attendees “will get to shoot the TAVOR at the range and receive basic shooting instruction and assistance from an [National Rifle Association certified] instructor.”
Michael Kassner, IWI-US Vice President of Sales and Marketing, said “IWI is proud to support the Jewish community. ‘Bullets & Bagels’ allows all who love guns, great food and Israel to get together, eat, shoot and shoot the breeze. … Don’t be surprised if you see me there myself. I could always go for some bagels and lox with a side of Tavor.”
Hollywood actors have been long supporting Israeli aggression against Palestinians through various means, such as direct fund-raising events or making movies backing Israeli interpretation and catalyzation of the ongoing unrest in the middle-east.

Did you see the episode where his Marine Sargent gave him the collector Vietnam Vets 1911 handgun?
One of the most beautiful pistols I’ve ever seen.
US aid to Israel is more than 8 million a day. He should have kept his guns.
Probably plagiarized.
Bullets and Bagels! Love it!
Stormers have not been friendly to Israel or the Jewish people so I ak not surprised by your comment.
The only one I saw was House of Games. Co-starring Lindsay Crouse (Mrs. Mamet).
The actress on THE big bang theory is getting crucified by the Nazis in Hollywood for her support so joe will be next.
That skinny know-it-all drives me crazy. Can't watch the show.
That’s the problem with all those criminal investigation shows. There are always the protracted scenes where everyone on the team chimes in with the brilliant observations replete with the most techno-analytical BS imaginable. They don’t miss a step in the flow of the beat.
Then as a backdrop, the softer side of these automatons is always shown in some hoked-up personal struggle that shows their human side and they all get to huggy kissy.
As for that computer girl and the agent that always calls her “Baby Girl”, why aren’t there women all over America complaining about their little tease-fests?
Liar.
Spencer Reid - love him too.
Dang.
I hope this guy has enough money to tide him over, because he’s going to find it hard to get work now.
Blessings on him...an amazing act.
A little extra can't hurt. Might help.
Think I'll go google some Israeli retailers and do a little shopping.
Um, the Tavor IS an assault weapon, of very fine manufacture, a bullpup configuration made to order for urban ‘cleaning’.
So that's how they make the hole in center.
I am reading Mamet’s book ‘The Secret Knowledge’. A birthday gift from my son. Well worth the read, a former Lib who sees the light now.
