An IDF general ranks towns near the West Bank as more dangerous than the Gaza border, and residents of the area continue to express urgent concern that they are increasingly vulnerable to terrorist attacks.
Jews in Israel do NOT have permission to have defensive assault rifles. Forget having one that is automatic. They can't even have the semi-automatic civilian version of a M-16, M4 or Tavor. 6% have a "permit" to have a pistol and 50 rounds of ammo. Think a Glock 9mm.
So no weapons of consequence or no weapons at all when the next invasion comes.
The murders, rapes and hostage taking are just waiting to happen in Ayosh (Shomron and Yehuda.)
The solution is Armed Civilian Militia. For all those who are of sound mind. Training and organised as Militia, and staffed by both women and men, when they are not serving in the IDF.
and that was exactly what Colonel Orde Wingate of the British Army taught in The Palestine Mandate in the 1930's when he trained Jewish men to become his "Night Fighters" and to take the fight to the Arabs. Moshe Dayan said Wingate taught them everything they knew as to how to fight. Wingate was the real deal. There is a street named after him in Jerusalem. His higher ups in the British Army didn't appreciate him much.
You can read his biography called Fire in The Night.
You would think the modern state of Israel would pay attention to what he did and therefore form Armed Civilian Militias because just about everyone in Israel has been in the IDF at one time or another.
The Left won't like it because going all the way back to Ben Gurion, the Left has not liked armed Israelis not in an official army like the Haganah or IDF. Ben Gurion didn't like The Irgun or Stern Gang, hence the "Altalena Affair"
Too bad - Israel is way past that point now.
It's been done before with great success - do it again.
Yes, there is a bit of a love/hate relationship by the British towards Jews and Israel right now, but these things pass. Much respect to British fighters and fighting power which built the Western Empire which is still going strong. Best wishes.
Quit referring to Judea Samaria as the West Bank! It is Israel.
During Israel’s war of independence, Jordanian forces moved into Judea and Samaria and remained there after the war had ended, when they drew up armistice lines with Israel. Several years later Jordan annexed Judea and Samaria, illegally, as the land had been designated by the international community for the Jewish State. Jordan renamed Judea and Samaria the “West Bank” since it sat on the west bank of the Jordan River. The term is still propagated today by those who reject and wish to end Israel’s rightful control of the land.the Palestinian Authority (PA), a corrupt government presided over by a leader who has not held elections for his office in the 14 years he has held it. The PA incites its people to violence against Jews, pays salaries to terrorists in Israeli prisons, and educates its children to hate Israel.The United Nations and countless other organizations call Israel’s presence in Judea and Samaria illegal, despite the fact that the land was mandated for a Jewish State by the League of Nations, and no other nation has exercised legitimate sovereignty over it.
That is very disingenuous. It's not Israel if the inhabitants aren't Israeli. It is and must remain occupied territory, which is legitimate under international law if anyone cares about what international law permits.
and you shouldn't comment about something you obviously know nothing about.
LEGITIMATE INTERNATIONAL LAW-Balfour Declaration & Mandate: The Mandate incorporated the 1917 Balfour Declaration, which supported a Jewish national home in Palestine, and was formally approved by the League of Nations Council in 1922.
Israel needs to change its laws on firearms possession to allow citizens to possess handguns, shotguns, and rifles, with authority to possess up to 300 rounds of ammunition. Most citizens know gun safety and handling from their military experience, but classes should be held to emphasize firearms safe handling and storage.
Stay Strong Israel! You are not alone. We are the Bulwark against Islam, Nazism and the totalitarianism that History teaches us attempt to destroy Civilisation wherever those three try to take root. The Guardians of The West know this too. Thus we have many friends, Israel! So be of strong heart and stay strong. Israel you have many friends.
"Tulkarem, a Palestinian city with a refugee camp from Israel’s 1948 War of Independence" is an amazing statement to me because the Gazaniacs build nothing and destroy whatever exists while they play their Islamic games and instead of going where they CAN thrive they purposely remain in these camps. Ridiculous. Also, "because we have to let them earn a living" is absurd. Let their moneyed supporters around the world pay them because they are a physical cancer on Éretz Yisra'él when they're in the country and don't use the "they do jobs Israelis won't do" excuse. Look what the gastarbeiter have done TO Germany, as an example.
This is why Israel, after taking over Gaza, has to send the army into Judea and Samaria, dismantle the PA, kill all the PLO leadership and members, then lock-down the Muslims who remain and do not want to leave once Israel extends sovereignty over all of Judea and Samaria. For those who do not understand how a modern democracy like Israel can do such a thing, they have to learn to think outside the box. A new political vocabulary is need beyond that of modern democracy, which has proven incapable of preserving decency, offering safe civil life while the benefits of modernity proceed apace, and protecting Jews. The West is collapsing. Jewish Israel should not follow suit. Do not wait until the Palestinian gangsters in Judea and Samaria have launched an all-out attack. Do not rely on America, for it will not provide you with salvation, not even normalization, which is another word for perennial insecurity.
That's on Aman (military intelligence). The unfathomable intelligence fail on Oct 7 won't be repeated on the West Bank because of Oct 7. It's like 9/11--you learn. And, of course, the West Bank is occupied and the IDF can arrest terror suspects with ease.

So the inhabitants of the West Bank are Israelis?
Doesn't the U.N. surpercede the League of Nations?

My heart goes out to these people, I can’t imagine how terrible it must be to live in fear everyday. 🙏
