It's been a while, but I checked back.

OK, here goes -

Joel, on a day-to-day basis here in Israel, that is, between
citizen and citizen, the society here is much less violent than it
is in the US. For normal, everyday people, it is rather difficult
to procure arms, certainly much more than it is in the US.

This "war of attrition" that I mentioned is being carried on
between Palestinian terrorists, who do not live in the legal
boundaries of the State of Israel, and are therefore not
restricted when it comes to arms sales, and Israeli security
forces. It is not between citizen and citizen.

Ravage,

First of all, anyone can say what they want about any place in the
world. There are so many people pontificating to us here in Israel
about what to do, that I do not feel it out of place to comment
about what goes on in the US. Besides, I was born and brought up in
the US, and retain US citizenship, and have many close relatives
and friends there. It matters to me what happens in the States.
