I know, I know—it sounds too absurd to be real! Who was it that said “truth is stranger than fiction”?
Apparently, Yaakov Vider wants the citizens of Bnei Brak to carry guns.
Why, you ask? To protect themselves from terrorists.
But wait—doesn’t the Torah מגני ומצלי—protect and shield? Isn’t Torah supposed to be our defense?
It seems that over the past two months, Bnei-Brak got reality hit hard. They realized they could no longer rely on the Chazon Ish’s assurances, as Bnei Brak itself suffered serious attacks.
So now, they’ve taken a page straight out of Ben-Gurion’s Zionist handbook—forming their own army. But of course, it would be their army, separate from the rest of Israel.
So it’s fine to arm Bnei Brak, but what about the rest of the country? Why not enlist in the army and protect everyone?
נמות ולא נסתגייס
The response from the government should (but won't) be: Fine, we will give you guns. We will then remove all the police and direct the army and medical services not to respond to any calls for help from you. Good luck, have fun, don't die.
