There used to be frequent terrorist attacks on Israeli schools. Haven’t heard of an attack in over a decade. At some point the Israelis started arming teachers and I’ve often seen photos of cute young women helping small children put their clothing on while having a carbine slung over their backside. So, what is this guy afraid of? Possibly that the gun will just suddenly discharge? How often does that happen?
Exactly. See #10.
I worked in Israel twice. It is not uncommon to see young girls, 17-20 years old, in military garb standing on the street corner holding an automatic weapon. When I was there you could hardly walk a block down the street in Tel Aviv without seeing several.
I believe Israel began to arm teachers and harden schools after the Ma’alot massacre in 1974.
