More Jews Arming Themselves

Over at Bearing Arms, Tom Knighton has a post entitled Jews Arming Themselves After Anti-Semitic Attacks. Being myself a Christian, I do not know why so many Jews seem to thing the Torah demands pacifism. The Torah, of course, is the first five books of the Bible, and include the 10 Commandments, as well as the complete Law of God. No where does it suggest that one must accept being beat up or killed unjustly. The recent attacks on the Jews are criminal events and they had every right to defend themselves with deadly force if necessary.  Frankly I am glad to see that many more Jews are waking up to the need to actively do what they can to defend both themselves and their loved ones.
