Israel's societal ethos and legal framework around firearms possession is very different than in the US. All of modern Israeli society, post-1948, looks to the IDF for its defense, and most, but not all secular Israelis and certain religious Israelis (observant, but not "strictly orthodox," or Haredi) have been, or will be, exposed to and trained with firearms during IDF service. Many young Israelis (18 to 21) who are doing their initial obligatory service in the IDF carry Tavors or M-4s, etc., with them throughout the day, on the street, on public transportation, etc. Jewish Israelis who live in certain "high risk" areas (e.g., Judea and Samaria, aka, the "West Bank") also have easier access to firearms.

It is true that firearms regulations for Israeli civilians are far more restrictive and intrusive than in the US. Pre-1948, all firearms ownership was basically forbidden, under the British Mandate. We Americans can thank our British colonial experience, our frontier heritage, the Battles of Lexington and Concord, and our Founding Fathers for our gun culture and our Second Amendement. Without that heritage, experience and foresight from our American ancestors, we would be in no better position to own firearms than most non-Americans.

All we can do is pray for the destruction of Israel because they have utterly destroyed our home here in America and opened the flood gates to mass immigration. They bomb their middle eastern neighbors, then send all those displaced people to the US and Europe.

Solzhenitsyn warned this was happening in his book "200 Years Together" that is still banned from print in the US 20 years later:

Half the US national debt is due to the State of Israel, they have looted our entire nation:

This is because they believe their false messiah can not come before America and Christianity is destroyed. They openly say this but people don't want to hear it. We have dozens of rabbi's openly proclaiming Chrisitanity and Europe as "Amalek" who is the primary enemy and Islam is what they import to destroy us.
