Jews Should Abandon "Learned Helplessness"

 John Farnam at Ammoland has a piece reporting that a Well-Orchestrated, Organized and Violent Anti-Jewish Fervor, Is Now Unmistakable in Every Corner of Our Nation. Farnum points out that too many Jews have become helpless like sheep. And wolves really don't care how many sheep they kill.

A long-time friend, currently living in the LA area, called yesterday expressing concern for the physical safety of himself and family.
He is Jewish, and like most of my Jewish friends, not particularly religious. Only rarely does he (at least marginally) observe Jewish holidays. In fact, in our conversations, he often expresses cynical skepticism concerning all religions.
However, he is understandably concerned about the current, well-orchestrated, well-organized, violent anti-Jewish fervor, which is now unmistakable in every corner of our nation, and by no means confined to college campuses!

My Jewish friend forwarded me a letter (email) he received yesterday from a Jewish academic organization listing several “precautions” American Jews should be taking these days.
Most related to lowering personal profile.
It’s all sound advice, of course, but the admonishment to “go armed” was conspicuously absent from the list—a glaring omission I pointed out!

I really don't understand this "learned helplessness." The LORD does not demand pacifism from those who follow Him. Yes, He tells you not to murder. But self-defense is not murder. More Jews should go armed everywhere they go. Hamas started this war, and Hamas could stop it at any point by surrendering. Moreover, any American who supports Hamas holds an indefensible position. Any Jew who is attacked by Hamas supporters has every right to defend himself, just as Israel has the right to defend itself.
