  1. I'm not a fan of the Israeli government but when someone literally wants to destroy you. How do you think they would react. IMO if the Arab governments had been smart post WWII they would have welcomed Jewish immigration and allowed the Jews of Europe to set up flourishing communities. Just how much would their nations have benefited from the talent those communities represented.

  2. I live there. The overwhelming majority of individuals that were arrested for violence in the Kenosha riots were not residents. When I first saw the video of when Jacob Blake was shot my first reaction was "oh shit". Then there were reports that he had merely been trying to break up a fight at a neighborhood block party. This was reported by the media. No. Mr Blake's girlfriend called 911 because there was a restraint order on file against him. Plus the Kenosha County DAs office had filed charges against Mr Blake and there was a warrant issued for his arrest on Third Degree Sexual Assault. That is why the Police where there. They attempted to arrest Mr Blake (1) and Mr Blake resisted arrest. Does this mean that he should have been shot seven times in the back. IMO the officer in question was at least guilty of excessive force. Why were there seven shots fired. I think that has to do with the equipping police officers with semi-automatic pistols. When police departments carried revolers I doubt they had issues with officers when they did have to fire a weapon firing more than two or three rounds. For those unfamiliar with firearms a revolver, even if it is a double action, takes significantly more physical effort. A semiauto the process of ejecting the fired round loads the next round into the chamber and cocks the hammer. All it takes to fire that round is squeezing the trigger. When the police department in Kenosha first looked into switching over from .38 caliber revolvers (2) to semiautos a lot of police agencies were adopting high capacity 9mms. My brother in law was in charge of the procurement process. Kenosha specifically choose to adopt .45 ACP. Because data showed that 9mm caused significant over penetration and increased the likelihood that a bullet could carry on down range to posdibly go through the wall of house. Or a car door. Or another person. Plus looking at the data on how many rounds an officer fired when they did have to employ their service weapon the data showed the average number of rounds fired was 2 or 3. Well with in the range of a 7 or 8 round capacity of a pistol chambered in .45 ACP. 1) When Mr Blake was interviewed by Don Lemon on CNN he stated that he had to accept his responsibility for the events of that day. Plus he admitted that has was carrying a knife and it was in his hand. 2) Officers were allowed to carry personal side arms and some did. Amongst those who did some carried revolvers chambered in .357 Magnum. But they were restricted to using .38 Special ammunition. A .357 will fire .38s and .357 rounds. The difference between the two rounds is the length of the case (4 or 5 mm) and the amount of propellant used. .38 Special and .357 are basically 9mm in diameter. 9mm equals .354.
