Between womens rights groups and the peace process Israel and the IDF went woke and stupid.

Israel always has had stupid gun laws, a legacy of commies and Europeans starting the country. In a lot of places in Europe through history a Jew with a gun received the death penalty. So they were deprived of ever building a gun culture. Then you add that most of the people that immigrated to pre State Israel came from the USSR, it meant that guns were tolerated and only due to no choice did the government have guns and they would then issue them that needed them.

Then starting at the same time of the whole peace BS pushed by the USA and leftist in Israel, the womens groups in Israel started pushing guns kill women in domestic violence and guns became even harder to get. Security guards that used to be able to take their issued pistols home now had to leave them at work.

Due to the IDF and Police going woke they took guns away from rural villages. When I moved into my little village our arms room was full of AK's and Uzis. Our nearest neighbors are 25to40 k palistians . We were suffering multiple incidents of arson and major theft a week. I put an end to that in just a matter of weeks. I had guns from work, so I never checked out an AK or Uzi, but in like 3 months after I moved there the AK's were gone replaced by M1 carbines. In the end almost all the guns were taken.

In the IDF it went from sleeping with your rifle to rifles at night were locked up in the armory. This was even the case for all the sites a long the Gaza border. The position of the government and IDF was Hamas will never go to war with us beyond every once in a while shooting some rockets into Israel. The reason these idiots both in the IDF, Shabak, Police and the government bet on was that so much money was being allowed into Gaza they will never do anything against us.

Problem is Hamas and the Palestinians are whores like the leadership in Jerusalem and DC for that matter. They are corrupt just not whores.

The moving of the 2 Commando platoons was normal I don't read anything bad into it. gaza border was quite and norther Samaria was not.

The problem is that the leftist and later even the so called right thought jobs inside Israel that paid good were the answer to build peace. So 20,000 came out of Gaza to work in southern Israel. They even let them work in IDF bases. 20,000 spies inside our communities and military bases. The f up was so bad that they even targeted a IAF base that has things that will make you glow in the dark and they knew what was there.

One base for reserve soldiers in the south was taken over totally . When the commander responded to 10/7 Hamas was waiting for him at the armory. They murdered him and took his body away which had the keys to the armory . Hamas terroris then got on the roof of the armory and when 300 soldiers started showing up they were attacked.

The bottom line the fact that Israel was not defeated on what is now called Shabbat Shahor Black Sabbath was a miracle from G-D.

Also brave men and women both as individuals and in groups of 4 or less from MAGAV, Police, IDF saved the country by rushing south. Many started the day only armed with a pistol.

4 women serving in a coed infantry unit, killed over 100 terrorist.

Ketar Soran a MAGAV officer who grew up next to my house was highlighted by the police. The police showed his body cam footage on the news. His Glock took down a lot of terrorist and when he was out of ammo he was doing battlefield pick ups of AKs.

Unamed officer part of the family serving in YAMAM answered the call on that morning . He was off of any duty so his battle kit was back at the office. He had his Glock 17 and a total of 4 mags. He drove up to a road block that he thought was IDF. They had IDF uniforms and gear. The rifles came from Astan as part of the stuff Brandon left behind. He got out of his vehicle to go speak to the commander of the road block/ staging area (it had like 40 people too many for just a road block) our hero happened to see something that clued him into these were Palis not Jews. So with a smile still on his face he jerked out his smoke wagon( I always wanted to say that ) and started shoot them . When he was able to break contact he did, not going back to his car but rather he just ran into the woods. 20 dead were found at the location later.

The mission was Hamas that day beyond the stuff they did in the south is they sent squads north with the mission to hook up with Hamas in the miscalled west bank.
These squads were unable to get the mission done because by the time they got father north every Jew was on edge . Like 8 or 9 days after the 7th the police caught a squad of these bastards like 2 klicks from my house,

Israel is never going to be the same. More people own guns today than ever. We are working to get more rifles in the hands of QRF in every village . It isn't America yet when it comes to guns and probably never will be but it is better than Israel ever has been. I hope we get to the place where money is the only limiting factor to gun ownership. The other problem we have is we have Israeli Arabs that have the same rights and I trust most of them like I trust Hamas.

Glad to see SNL catching hell for this sketch where they are mocking Rep. Elise Stefanik, you can always tell who they are most fearful of by who they chose to go after. I was a loyal SNL viewer from 1986 when I just a kid to around 2017 when it became "Bash Trump all the time in every sketch" and I gave up in disgust:

SNL is excoriated for its 'tone-deaf' and 'shoddy' takedown of House anti-Semitism hearings... as it's revealed ex-star PULLED OUT of controversial sketch despite rehearsing

SNL staff are likely conratulating each other for making the sketch; that by tweaking the noses of those who were offended, they think they're still capable of doing edgy comedy.
As one quote said, SNL is as out of touch as the three university presidents they tried to find humor in.

I have known people like Claudine Gay my entire life and they are the reason why I never checked the black box on college and employment applications. If I had, I would not be a free individual today.

As a child, I was fascinated by the story of my paternal grandparents's interracial marriage in 1944 in segregated Chicago. The 1967 interracial marriage of my black father to the daughter of Holocaust survivors in the same city wasn't much easier; at the time, America burned with race riots. My grandparents and parents had every reason not to marry across the color line. But they chose love over their racial order.

…
But it was not until I applied to college in the early 1990s that I encountered people like Claudine Gay and truly saw behind the curtain of identity politics. That was when, with grades and SATs that were were borderline acceptable for top-tier colleges, my high-school counselor along with most university officials urged me to boost my chances of being admitted by checking the "black" box on applications. And when they saw my reluctance, they would routinely dismiss my misgiving with the same line: "Oh, its nothing, just check the box and you'll get the upper hand."

They weren't wrong: I was once offered a $25,000 Martin Luther King scholarship, a lot of money in 1993. Checking the black box was tempting, to say the least.

But it was a sham. At that time, the percentage of all blacks on college campuses who were from lower economic backgrounds had fallen to the single digits. These students had been replaced by middle- to upper-class blacks, Africans, Caribbeans, and multiracials like me.

By checking the "black" box, I was being asked to mask the actual problems and inequities that undermine the efforts of lower-class blacks—all so university administrations could claim the pretense of racial redemption through higher enrollment numbers.

And we wonder why there are permanent black underclasses in nearly every major city today?
