Biggest "hippie" I knew in high school is married to an Aldi's regional manager, saw him a few weeks ago and he was talking about the importance of border security and how much he loves Greg Gutfeld.

As a side note I've been to their house and don't believe it when they say grocery margins are slim. The margins look just fine to me.

Is there something else that's bothering you Mr. President?

The most charitable you can be to a hippy/psytrancer is that they have leaned so hard into "can't we all just get along, love conquers all" that it blinds them to material reality in a naive but sometimes tolerable way. This is rare though and they are mostly reactionary, just hyper-individualists after the hippy project was disproven as mentioned above. I mean, Sidney Gottleib the CIA's head of MKULTRA lived in a cabin with no power, milked his own goats and was super into learning different indigenous folk dances with his wife. Then he went off to work and broke people's minds and killed them with experimental toxins.

By making it a performative act, there's a chamber flag in the gun and I don't see any brass. The gun isn't loaded. This is just Shooter's Grill Israel Edition.

that's just how they carry these days. in the past they would have to carry the magazine separately (on a belt clip or in their pocket), but now they walk with the loaded magazine and the chamber flag, so all they have to do is pull on the charge handle to discharge the flag and load a live round. they never walk around with a bullet in the chamber outside of actual combat.

No there's definitely something there. It's been said before but the hippy policies of international solidarity and protest got co-opted by 'self-actualization' and selfish love yourself first ideas that lead directly into the yuppie movement of the 80s. The hippies went from trying to change the world for the better, to focusing on improving themselves for the better. And along the way their self-improvement devolved into mindless consumerism.

IIRC Adam Curtis had a documentary which covered it.

Not to be confused with meat.
I don't know what the process of applying for a gun license is like, but I wonder, are they given some sort of refresher on basic gun safety and usage before they're handed a loaded M16? Because even soldiers don't always got that poo poo down, too many of the little pricks on the train keep laying the gun on their knees, pointed directly at somebody's dick.

E: just looked it up and they do get a refresher.

If you're under 27 you have to have been in the IOF to get a license.

They do require proof of completing firearm training. As well as ability in Hebrew

quote:

An individual with at least a basic knowledge of Hebrew – the ability to answer questions, follow instructions and complete forms as required. The applicant's level of Hebrew is evaluated by a firearm clerk.

It's not the most high res picture but you would be able to see brass through the ejection port and I don't see brass.

M16 would be full auto, these might be full auto (they appear to be legit Colt 653s in both pics)? Full auto is extremely restricted here in the US so it appears we may have found a western society more insane than ours. Bravo, Israel.

If you're including dodgers as exempted, than yeah.

E: that is, citizens who were born here. A lot of people who move to Israel still get drafted or volunteer though.

People who moved there and naturalized after spending time as a permanent resident wouldn't have.
Permanent residents who haven't received citizenship have to be 45 before they can get a firearms license.

Coupled with the Hebrew requirement it just seems like added bureaucracy to ensure only dedicated Zionists are allowed own a gun in Israel.

Also, like, does anyone think they were checking if settlers had current firearms licences when they were distributing guns to them?

==============================

A member of the Israeli junior ministerial staff, Aryeh Deri, said that they are ready to increase the duration of the truce to 10 days.

He added that they approved the release of 300 Palestinian prisoners, hoping to return 100 Israeli detainees.

The hostages' families must be really rattling them, it sounds like the intimidation campaigns against them really didn't work, and probably backfired hard. Which, shouldn't exactly be surprising.
