A private Jewish school in north Toronto was the target of a bomb
threat today, forcing the evacuation of the school. (In yet another
brilliant example of journalism, the article doesn't bother to mention
if a bomb (or bombs) was found.)

It's hard to blame Jews anywhere for being concerned about their
safety given the frequent large pro-Palestinan demonstrations and the
actual attacks on Jewish facilities, even if today's incident was just
an empty threat.

I remember Ben Shapiro mentioning in a video that every Jew he knows in
Florida is either getting first guns, getting additional guns, or
getting additional gun training. I don't know what Jews are doing about
their personal safety in states that make gun ownership difficult or
next-to-impossible....

It is frequently the case that the cops won't say what was found, if
anything. You're blaming the wrong people again.

"With the help of bomb-sniffing dogs, police had determined by
mid-afternoon that there were no explosives in the area. An
investigation into who sent the threat is underway, police said."

I guess I wasn't the only one that was miffed by that information being
omitted. In refreshing my browser, I see that this paragraph was added
in the last 10 minutes. I posted well before that update.

This suggests (but doesn't prove) that it wasn't the police that
suppressed this information given that the dogs had cleared the school
by mid-afternoon. It really does look like the reporter failed to
mention it.

In the "brilliant example of journalism" before us, the report didn't
mention whether bombs had been found because *the paper didn't know
whether they had or hadn't been*. The cop spokesperson didn't seem to
know, either.

You've now gone from the paper actively suppressing information (again,
why would it?) to it just forgetting to mention whether there'd really
been a bomb. There is no rational basis for that.

What are the gun laws in Gaza?

https://www.timesofisrael.com/as-hamas-war-rages-personal-firearm-activists-see-surge-in-interest/#:~:text=In%20Israel%2C%20the%20usual%20personal,background%20check%2C%20among%20other%20things.
10 October 2023

Gun control in Israel is relatively strict, and firearm licenses are generally only granted
to those who can show a need for extra security in their line of work or daily life. Meaning,
one of the key criteria for a private citizen to receive permission to own a gun is where
they live.

Many people have contacted him in recent days who wish they could get a weapon,
he said, including members of the Druze community, many of whom served in the IDF
in combat positions, but then after their service, are not able to qualify for a license.

[Imagine that law in the U.S.; "Now you colored folks, including military veterans,
can't have no guns. We don't trust y'all."]

In Israel, the usual personal weapon allowed are pistols with a limit of 50 rounds of
ammunition. To qualify, one must be of a certain age, depending on IDF service, live
or work in an area that demands extra security, not have a criminal record, and pass
a training course and background check, among other things.

Another requirement is enough Hebrew-language proficiency “in a way that will allow
questioning, understanding instructions and managing registration as required,”
according to a qualifications calculator on the website of the National Security
Ministry, which manages gun license registration.

The main point for the activists is to loosen the requirements so that it is easier
for the average Israeli citizen to acquire a personal weapon license, no matter his
or her profession or location. Another online petition (Hebrew), which aims to
pressure the government to allow ”a permit to carry a private weapon for anyone
who has served in the IDF and has no criminal record,” has gathered some 22,000
digital signatures since Sunday, when it was opened.

One can make logical deductions by what they don't or won't say and what they
can't tell fast enough.
