My shual in the DC area had an open-invitation Shabbos ceremony last night. People were there from about 10-15 different states as well as leaders from our nearby, friendly Churches.
It was a good sign that there are good people out there.
The big problem is how to stop the wackos who will attack shuals, churches, mosques, etc.
Every religious institution MUST review not only its physical security arrangements or lack thereof, but also whether is can “authorize” concealed and open carry in them (there are restrictions in Virginia about CCW in a religious institution that has a school inside/attached to it).
The Jewish liberal/left idiots (including members of my own synagogue, are trying to get people to buy anti-gun license plates and make it a gun-freeze zone (aka a “Killing Field”) that they won’t be responsible for.
The gloves are off in my shual. Time to expose the fools for being a bigger threat to our safety than the wackos because we can prepare for attackers IF we have the will to do so. The left wants us to have no such “will”, to leave use vulnerable to attackers, and then to blame President Trump for whatever happens, just like they did in Pittsburgh.
All sane Jews must unite against our insane liberal brethren before we suffer a domestic “Maallot” massacre (Palestinian terrorist massacred over a dozen elementary school children in an attack against an unprotected building, much like that Sandy Hook killer did, and the Palestinians still praise that action as a brave act of resistance.
So too will the next nut unless we get them first. .356MM already at hand. Permit coming very soon. I will protect our children, shual and Torah.
There seems to be an example in the Yom Kippur War that Israel won a victory in decades ago. Any religious obligation may and ought to be abrogated for the sake of defending a life.
That said, if it’s made known that there are guards (even if not obvious who they are) the cowards will back off almost to the last one and there will never be a shootout.
