The Biden administration reportedly would not sell weapons to Israel unless the country guaranteed that guns would not be given to civilians.
In other words, they are now trying to force their gun control desires into foreign policy issues.
As many people have pointed out, a large portion of the Israeli’s who died in the October 7th attack were not armed, which made the situation much worse than it could have been.

The fact that so many Israelis were unarmed was shocking. I couldn’t believe their own government would have put them in harms way like this. I hope the Israeli government learned a lesson. In the immortal words of Charlton Heston “from my cold, dead hands”. I’ll never give up my weapons.

That’s easy to get around: Since Israel has universal conscription (draft) just give two or three American guns to all military personnel and let them keep them at the end of their service. Instant shalom.

Seems to add to the notion that not only are people disposable to the overlords, they need to be gone.

Every Israeli citizen served in the military and knows how to use a gun.
They should consider Biden an enemy of their state.
Please note that Biden would love to take all of our guns away, even if we are proficient in gun safety.

There were so many things I found shocking about the Israeli kibbutz situation, not the least the absence of guns to defend themselves. The attitudes of those people are incomprehensible. From all the articles I’ve read, all those little towns were filled with pacificists who refused to bear arms, were determined to love the Palestinians, in spite of their shouted avowals to kill all the Jews, they hired Palestinians to work in their towns, etc, etc. and all within a few miles of a border fence holding back some of the most bloodthirsty people on the planet. Those people were every bit as blind to reality as our American Jews who refuse to see the antisemitism alive and thriving in their favorite political party.
Some people are just unhelpable.

From the Washington Free Beacon: "The Jewish state urgently requested the United States sell it thousands of M-16 rifles following the Hamas terror group’s Oct. 7 slaughter of more than 1,400 unarmed Israeli citizens. But the Biden administration would not approve the sale until Israel guaranteed the critical weapons would not reach civilian outposts in the West Bank, which the Biden administration and its Democratic allies view as occupied territory...." "This is absolutely insane."
Because of draconian gun control laws in Israel--worse than in NY or California--on October 7, only about 1.5% of Israeli civilians were allowed one (1) gun and only one box (fifty rounds) of ammunition. There was one kibbutz run by a woman who opened up the armory, armed a dozen fellow Israelis, and killed every attacker (several dozen) without suffering one dead among her own people. And the Resident, carrying on with his hoplophobia, wants Israeli citizens NOT to be armed. That makes him (and Michael Bloomberg, to be sure) an enemy of Israel and of the Lord, based on Genesis 12:2-3. I wish the Lord would deal with this lawless administration. They're on the wrong side of nearly every conflict. Thanks for that, Obama.

Most kibbutz have guards who openly carry automatic weapons. I have seen this at Beit Kama not 10 miles from Gaza. But a surprise attack by an overwhelming well-armed force intent on slaughter will accomplish their aim - as we've seen.

What a piece of work this brainless twit is! The Kibbutz that got attacked had no guns on the residents, while the Kibbutz that fought back with almost no casualties had guns!!
Hard to believe that 81 million people voted for this clown

Meanwhile Americans with a good functioning brain can see our open borders and our weakened military and stocking up on ammunition for the outrages that are surely coming.

Strange, Bribem didn't have a problem with that clown Zelensky, arming his citizens at the start of his war with Russia!

The ruling Left cabal is mortified at the prospect that this will be an excellent demonstration of what happens when free citizens are armed for self defense.

I always thought the Israelis were armed since they all did military service. That's what Dims want to have happen to us here when all the military-aged male invaders here get the call from their commanders.

This can be easily done. The israelis can simply promise to not supply the civilians with arms, then buy a bunch of M-16’s and hand them out. In other words, lie to the Biden administration. Democrats do it all the time, right?
Or, the Israelis can just hand òut all the M-16’s they recover from recently deceased Hamas insurgents.

The Enemedia claims of "relaxing gun control" in Israel have been MASSIVE exaggerations. The only controls which have been very slightly speeded up are permits to own a handgun. The time it takes to get approval has perhaps been cut from many months to a month, and they ever so generously now permit handgun owners to have 100 rounds of ammunition, up from the previous 50 rounds permitted.
Many Americans own 10,000 rounds of ammunition.....because we CAN.

Fine. Lie. Promise him whatever he wants, get the guns, them just hand them out anyway. That's the way Democrat politicians work in this country, so he'll understand.

"President Biden refused to send FOOD aid to Hamas unless they handed over guns and rockets, disarming..."- Headline we will never see.

FTA: "Biden Refused to Sell Weapons to Israel Unless it Promised Guns Would Not be Given to Civilians"
I honestly did not think Biden could stoop any lower...it's like the guy is trying to screw up. However, he did it here, because but action automatically makes Biden guilty of every crime committed by Hamas & Hezbollah against Israeli civilians from here on out...every murder,rape, torture, mutilation, theft, pillage, bombing, shooting, IED, and rocket.

Senile Joe bidet is an idiot. Just swear in all the civilians in the West Bank as part of the military, and arm them appropriately. The whole "militia" concept. Then arm them appropriately.
