Why are Israeli citizens not allowed to defend themselves?
Nope. Like liberal States here in the U.S., the government makes it very diffcult for civilians to own guns.

I've looked into this matter before...which nations allow gun ownership versus which nations allow gun ownership for the purpose of self defense.golfboy » 09 Oct 2023, 11:47 am » wrote: ↑ Nope. Like liberal States here in the U.S., the government makes it very diffcult for civilians to own guns.
Israel’s Gun Laws: No Constitutional “Right to Bear Arms”
Recent figures published by the National Security Ministry indicate that barely 150,000 Israelis have a personal gun license, or some 2.6% percent of the entire adult population (15-64). This figure excludes weapons held by IDF soldiers, police officers, border guards, and other security personnel — as well as approximately 400,000 illegal firearms, the vast majority circulating in Arab communities.
In 2023, the Knesset, Israel’s parliament, advanced legislation meant to tackle illegal firearm possession, and the Israel Police has carried out near-daily raids with an eye towards seizing illegal weapons.
Israel’s Firearm Law of 1949 and its related ordinances do not recognize any “right to bear arms,” and private gun ownership is subject to many restrictions. For one, civilians can only apply for a pistol, and rifles are wholly off-limits. Furthermore, as a general rule, civilians can have no more than 50 bullets in their possession at any given time.
And while the vast majority of Israelis receive weapons training during their mandatory military service in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), there are numerous additional prerequisites for obtaining a carry license.
“Specific Need to Own a Weapon”
First, Israel’s gun laws include an age requirement. Israelis who completed their two or three-year IDF service can apply after their 20th birthday. Meanwhile, those who did not serve have to wait until they are 27, and non-citizen residents become eligible at the age of 45.
Crucially, prospective licensees are asked to demonstrate a specific need to own a weapon. For example, living or working in the West Bank beyond the Green Line, or in other designated dangerous locations, increases one’s eligibility. Those employed in professions that encounter unsafe situations on a regular basis — including paramedics, firefighters, other emergency responders, and tour guides — are also eligible.
Finally, applicants should have “at least a basic knowledge” of the Hebrew language, present a health declaration signed by a physician, and complete a theoretical exam and compulsory training.
Only after an interview and thorough security check does the applicant receive his or her license, which must be renewed every two years and requires periodic refresher courses.
In 2018, the Firearms Licensing Department rejected roughly 40 percent of all requests.
There should be an ability of someone who defends themself with a gun, where they are found not guilty, to get their attorney's fees paid for by the prosecuting agency.GHETTOBLASTER » 09 Oct 2023, 2:08 pm » wrote: ↑ I've looked into this matter before...which nations allow gun ownership versus which nations allow gun ownership for the purpose of self defense.
Very few any more allow gun ownership for self defense.
In fact in the USA it really isn't legal for a US Citizen to defend himself with a gun from anyone breaking and entering into his home if the Gun Owner can expect to be automatically arrested and forced to spend his life savings to defend himself from automatic murder charges.



Being arrested is a normal part of protocol.GHETTOBLASTER » 09 Oct 2023, 2:08 pm » wrote: ↑ I've looked into this matter before...which nations allow gun ownership versus which nations allow gun ownership for the purpose of self defense.

You shouldn't be arrested in certain shootings. For example, if you shoot and kill a home invader - no reason for you to be arrested. I do get it if you are carrying and shoot someone at, say a gas station. Cops aren't going to be able to sort that set of facts out necessarily.DeezerShoove » 09 Oct 2023, 3:56 pm » wrote: ↑ Being arrested is a normal part of protocol.
Doesn't mean you are charged with anything.
It is to be expected that you will be arrested after shooting and killing someone.
I don't know what the hell you mean by "automatic murder charges".
