Armed Israeli Teachers

Word is, all teachers in Israel are armed, and one photo that has been circulated all over the world showing a woman with a rifle accompanying school children is presented to back that up. But it is not true. That woman was likely a security guard, and those children were not in school, but were on a “field trip.” In Israel, after terrorists attacked a school in Maalot in 1974, “Israel did not declare every school a gun-free zone. It passed a law mandating armed security in schools, provided weapons training to teachers and today runs frequent active shooter drills. There have been only two school shootings since then, and both have ended with teachers killing the terrorists. In Israel, ALL teachers are NOT armed, but it IS “allowed,” while at the same time, mandating armed security in all schools. Not necessarily UNIFORMED armed security, but armed security, nonetheless. And with SOME teachers being armed as well, their numbers of school shootings are amazingly low. The key is NOT declaring schools “gun-free zones,” but ALLOWING teachers and other staff to be armed. In Israel, one group, haredi Jews, who refuse to be armed, suffer regular terrorist attacks because of the likelihood that no one will be armed among them. Terrorists freely admit they are “targeted” for that reason. Israeli Arab areas, where guns are prohibited, are areas where there are LOADS of ILLEGAL guns, making what gun control they have USELESS.
