Day 763: EDC Everyday Carry in Israel

For Israelis to be approved to carry firearms, they must work in security services, or daily be in areas deemed “high-risk” at their job or residence location.  There’s no “2nd Amendment” in Israel. And yet, the few who carry, they do so prominently and consistently. The basic shopping malls and city streets are open and welcoming to all Jews, Christians, Muslims, Druze, everyone.  Here is a Jewish Israeli grabbing lunch at McD’s with loved ones:

Former military advocate general Maj. Gen. Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi, accused of discarding her cell phone in the Mediterranean to destroy evidence in the video leak scandal; she now will sit trial.  Most of the Military Advocate General (MAG) Corps is under investigation for the Sde Teiman abuse leak, and so the entire division has been temporarily placed under command of the Personnel Directorate until new acting director can be appointed.

The video has since been shown to be spliced from clips from different timestamps.  By leaking the video in the middle of that investigation, Tomer-Yerushalmi not only violated the laws regarding court investigations and handling of evidence, but she also damaged Israel in the court of public opinion worldwide; Before any forensic examination of the video, this was the most damaging possible time for such a video to be leaked – prior to the discovery that it had been totally fabricated.  It’s as if she and her colleagues fabricated and edited the video themselves simply to harm Israel politically.
