One of the reasons the terror group Hamas was able to slaughter so many Israelis and foreigners in its invasion of Israel was due to Israel’s antigun policies, which stripped citizens of the God-given right to defend themselves against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Of all the Kibbutz’s in the region Hamas initially took over, only one was able to protect itself, and that was thanks to the foresight of one woman, Inbal Rabin-Lieberman, the head of security for Kibbutz Nir Am. She heard the Hamas rockets and thought they didn’t sound the same as usual, so she fetched weapons from the armory and gathered a team of 12 people to successfully defend her kibbutz from the slaughtering and marauding Hamas terrorists that attempted to destroy them.
From the American Thinker:
(Lieberman) placed her squad of kibbutzniks in strategic positions across the settlement and set up ambushes that caught the gunmen off guard and turned the tables on them during their mission to inflict mass casualties.
There are conflicting reports on how many jihadists Inbal and her team killed and wounded (some say 25 terrorists were neutralized; some say only one or two), but Inbal’s decision “not to wait” meant that Nir Am became the sole kibbutz in the “entire surrounding area” that emerged from the violence largely unscathed. Another report highlighted Inbal’s decision ordering that power not be restored, so no one could open the gates to the kibbutz.
There are reports that it took 6-8 hours for Israeli police and military to even arrive at the scene of the carnage to affect ANY defense of the civilians from the murdering hordes. We in America who support guns often cite the fact that the police will arrive at the scene of a crime just in time to count the bodies and document a crime they were unable to prevent, and that’s with the police arriving within 20 minutes.
What must it have been like for those Israelis, unarmed as they were, to wait helplessly in their shelters (when they got to them in time) or wherever else they could cower in fear in the face of armed killers who had no real deterrence to murder them and their children?
In the case of Lieberman’s kibbutz, the people of that community were fortunate to have a leader who acted intelligently and decisively AND had access to arms she could use to stage a successful defense of her community. In the case of all the other communities, slaughter was inevitable once Hamas crossed their borders and entered these communities, largely due to the decisions by the Israeli government to strip its citizens of their rights to defend themselves.
They made this unconscionable decision while their citizens lived in the midst of daily existential threat from their neighbors, who teach their children that Jews are sub-human and that one day Palestine will triumph and the Jew will be driven into the sea.
Lieberman should be celebrated as the hero that she is, along with the team she led, and surely one day we will see a movie about her triumph in the face of Hell, but the politicians that lead that country should come to a reckoning with the fact that it was THEIR decision to unarm their own people that empowered a terror state to behead babies, to slaughter women, for they knew they were entering gun-free zones, the same kind of zones our American cities and some states have created, making anyone who lives in those zones as vulnerable to the terror brewing within our country as the Israelis were.
