Quote:The Mercaz HaRav massacre, also called the Mercaz HaRav shooting, was a mass shooting attack that occurred on 6 March 2008, in which a lone Palestinian gunman shot multiple students at the Mercaz HaRav yeshiva, a religious school in Jerusalem, Israel, after which the gunman himself was shot dead. Eight students and the perpetrator were killed. Eleven more were wounded, five of them placed in serious to critical condition.[4][5][6]
Quote:The Yeshivat Otniel shooting, was an attack carried out on 27 December 2002, in which two Palestinian gunmen killed four students at Yeshivat Otniel, a Hesder Yeshiva in the Jewish settlement of near Hebron in the West Bank.
Quote:Of course, I made no argument about the number of people able to be killed with a semi-auto vs a knife vs a rock. But the usual way to repel a superior weapon is with an equal or superior weapon. Again, it's good to get rid of guns, but that's not a reality in our world, any more than getting rid of people. So it's a hard problem, you can educate, but education takes a long time, a whole generation to be exact, to change a way of thinking, and what are we going to do to protect the kids in the meantime?We are not going to turn schools into militarized zones
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
