NEVER GIVE UP YOUR WEAPONS TO THE GOVERNMENT:
“He knew something was very wrong, so he called the rest of the civil-defence unit. They got their guns and lined up at the top of the hill.
They were subsequently involved in a three-hour fire fight, before the 50-or-so terrorists moved on to the next kibbutz. The army did not arrive until three hours later. An estimated 50 people were killed at Nir Oz and 71 were taken hostage. At Magen, just two were killed.
There was a backstory here. A year earlier, the army called in all weapons held in private hands following a few accidents and thefts. The people of Magen refused, but those at Nir Oz handed their guns over.”
Thank you for posting. Israelis are strong. They will survive and in surviving they will be an example so that we too may survive.
The Rabbi in the movie The Chosen, upon learning of the Holocaust said “someone is always killing us.” My father estimated that our family lost as many as forty members in the Holocaust about five years before I was born, including my great grandfather, who was ninety.
I had relatives who were holocaust survivors, and relatives who live in Israel who are their children.
I am lucky that my grandparents came to America, and that I was born here. The most antisemitism I have faced in my lifetime was just verbal.
Great report. Thanks for posting.
Netanyahu remains deeply unpopular - This premise is WRONG. Israel is divided along the same lines as the US. A liberal today would opine that Trump is deeply unpopular, and that is true if you are talking about a little less than half the country.
