Now that we can clearly see the Third Intifada blowing in from all directions, with full and active incitement ascribed to Abbas and his business-suited PLO, it’s time to allow Israelis to protect themselves better.
Despite the common sight of guns carried openly by off-duty soldiers and security volunteers, gun licensing for ordinary civilians is strictly controlled in Israel. But in just the last 48 hours it’s become clear that every Israeli in any location is a legitimate target, with the highest risk of attack being on motor vehicles especially travelling at night.
It’s absurd that in today’s peaceful America the right of private citizens to bear arms is sacrosanct whilst in Israel, already walled-in against terrorists, private firearm licenses are so strictly rationed.
Of course there have to be background checks and mental-health restrictions just as in the US and other countries. But the status of Israeli citizens above almost all others is that they already have a responsible and disciplined attitude to firearms by dint of their mandatory army service and training.
I doubt if any adult using Israel’s roads in the current inflamed situation would not feel a lot safer with a handgun in their glove-box. The government should allow all citizens this security and the ability to protect themselves from attack or hijacking.
We trust our citizens as soldiers and we must trust them equally in civilian life.
Yes there will be some hothead shootings, no doubt, and penalties should be very tough. But the risk of such incidents does not justify leaving all good citizens at the mercy of Abbas’s thugs.
As the good book says: הבא להרגך השכם להרגו

Excellent article Joop! I agree totally. The good people of Israel must be allowed the means to defend themselves, much like here in the States. Myself and thousands of others in the great state of Louisiana and the other 49 states (56 if you’re Obama) have concealed carry permits.
As a result, I wear my fully loaded Glock Model 19C virtually everywhere I go and I never leave home without it. However, I do not recommend keeping your weapon in the glovebox as mentioned by the author. Statistically, attacks are over in a matter of seconds and you will not reach and open a glovebox quickly enough.
Furthermore, ‘hothead’ shootings by trained and responsible citizens are virtually unheard of. Concealed carry permits require proof of training and criminal background checks. Anyone with a history of violence will be rejected. Besides, ‘hotheads’ with guns generally don’t last very long.
If the law allows, get your permit. You owe it to yourself and your loved ones. Remember, laws that deny your right to defend yourself with a weapon are not effective against criminals.

Thanks, surrounded by mental ill people who want to kill you because you are a Jew or Israeli ask for defense at personal level, lets face the facts, it will not stop with talking but by force, show them force, just shoot the MFrs and keep shooting till they stop or leave.
My wife and i know how to handle a handgun , each has shot 5000 rounds 9 mm, 0.357 magnum, .22 long rifle
We have owned a 9mm Taurus, a SW target master 686 357 and a SW 626 .22
And have shot a lot of different brands and caliber, i was never impressed with the clock 19, didn,t feel right for me, we found the Taurus nice and a lot cheaper and perhaps a bit lower in quality but had never a problem , i loved the target master and the wife was a perfect hit whit the 22
We used Privi Partisan magnum 357, CCI .22 mini mags or stingers and 9 mm what ever was reasonable priced
