To my fellow Jews, please take what I’m about to say with serious consideration:

No one but ourselves and a small handful of non-Jewish allies actually care about us. If we are ever in a situation where our lives are in jeopardy, we only have each other to rely on.
I have witnessed people in France (and apparently other places as well) literally call four our deaths and I hear not even a peep from the people who claim to want “solidarity” with minorites, but when Jews speak out about wanting to simply exist in the place where
Jews first became a people, they get backlash, scoffed at and set aside. Hell, a Jewish girl simply pointing out how she has experienced antisemitism in the form of threats of literal violence was met with people ridiculing her and continuing to threaten her some more.
Call me paranoid, but I fear that we are witnessing yet another potential wave of rising antisemitism, and the type of people who claim that they would help Jews in our time of need are literally showing us that they are actually against us.
The antisemitic hate attacks in 2019 alone have spiked in comparison to previous years. I barely see anyone talking about it. What if it gets worse? What if more Jews continue to get hurt? What if antisemitism starts to manifest itself fascistically? What then?
If more and more Jews start to be in danger of harm, are we supposed to just do nothing? Clearly the woke scolds who claim to want to help minorities don’t give a fuck about us.

We need to take matters into our own hands for our own self-protection.
I want to help other Jews gain access to firearms and weapons training in the event that fascist antisemitism rears its ugly head again and antisemites start attacking us more often. I don’t want to see Jews go through even more death and persecution.
All I want is for Jews to be safe and prosper, that is all I want, but I fear that there is always the chance of us not being safe, wherever we are, and there will be plenty of people who will just stand on the sidelines, turn away, and not help us at all.
Please, I am begging you, we’ve already gone through 2,000 years of this shit. I don’t want to see it continue.
