“You’ve got to know when it’s time to turn the page.” ~ Tori Amos.
Yesterday, two Palestinian terrorists arrived, via a stolen car, at the Rami Levi supermarket in Gush Etzion, Israel.
The two precipitously attacked a uniformed security guard, stabbing him to death. They then took the security guard’s pistol and proceeded into the market, doubtless with the intent of murdering innocent Israeli shoppers.
They didn’t get far!
The two were immediately engaged, via gunfire, by an armed citizen and an IDF soldier (not in uniform). Both terrorists were thus shot dead before they could do any more damage.
Today, a friend in Israel comments on the incident:
“This had to be a suicide attack. Every day, Rami Levi supermarket in Gush Etzion has more women and men shoppers carrying concealed handguns than perhaps any supermarket anywhere else in the world!
There is no way these two terrorists could have survived.”
My comment:
These days, I cannot even mention the subject of personal preparedness without “upsetting” someone!
I probably overuse the expression, “We’re on our own,” to convey the critical necessity of continuous individual readiness to successfully confront sudden, unexpected, unprovoked personal-security emergencies.
Many (here and there) stubbornly refuse to even think about this distressful subject, and they understandably don’t want to hear from me.
Yet, via much “bitter experience,” many Israelis, at all levels, are apparently (at long last) honestly confronting their lot in life, and taking appropriate action, as we see.
We all should be taking note!

Israel needs to hunt down and kill every Palestinian terrorist on sight!
Sticking ones head in the sand.
Is very common for many
It’s sad, but ironic that the “security guard” was the first one killed. He did have a pistol though, interesting.
The grocery store here sometimes has a “security guard”, some wear kevlar and look tacticool, they even wear tacticool belts, but never a pistol.
Israel and their U.S. agencies are responsible for more terror campaigns than the rest of world combined. Jews are the original terrorists.
