Right, but violent crime rates are much higher in nations with lax gun ownership laws such as the US, so your argument holds no statistical validity.

I didn't spend much time working on my puns. It's not my best, I'll admit. But I'm glad you enjoyed Somme of them.

I don't care about violent crime rates. I imagine that the seven people in the morgue did not spend their last terrified moments on earth comforting themselves with the thought that, statistically, they were perfectly safe. More likely, they wished they could do something, anything, to stop the predator seeking their blood.
Incidentally, statistics are easy to lie with. I don't suppose you'd care to look at US crime rates in areas with strict gun laws vs. areas like mine that let anyone without a felony record carry concealed handguns? There's a reason nobody shoots up synagogues in Texas.

Ok, try a different statistic. According to many sources (such as this, you are are more likely to end up getting shot if you carry a gun than if you don't.

Doesn't matter how you skin the numbers, there is no statistical argument that allowing people to carry guns makes them safer, and there are lots of good statistical arguments to that state the opposite. If there is a wide consensus that gog forums should only be used to discuss good old games, then sorry, I'll stop responding to political threads. However, I think just because a community shares a common interest, that doesn't mean that they should be limited from discussing other things.
I've made some great friends here and had some interesting discussions, not only in the context of old games.

MonstaMunch: Also with regards to your actual question: No. Far more Muslims are being killed by Israel at the moment than Jews being killed by Muslims.
XmXFLUXmX: This is more due to the fact that Muslim guerrillas are not as an effective fighting force as a 1st world, disciplined, military with access to unmanned drones and other sophisticated technology. The Muslims still attack the Israelis far more than the Israelis attack the Muslims. If the Muslims wouldn't launch rockets at Israeli civilians, then just maybe the Israelis wouldn't drop white phosphorus on places sheltering Islamic terrorists? If the Palestinians had access to the same tools that the U.S. or Israel has, you bet your bottom dollar, they'd be carpet bombing Jewish civilians.

Let's be specific here. It's not "muslims attacking jews" and vice versa, it's Palestinians attacking Israelis and visa versa. The difference is, if the Palestinians would just stop the fight, where would they go? Israel has literally taken their entire nation. They have no land of their own, and therefore have no option but to fight or die as a nation.
Both sides claim that ownership of the land is their "god given right", though one might wonder why said god waited until the 60's to give it to Israel.

michaelleung: No, that's a dog in a brand new military fighter jet. Jesus, what's wrong with you people? Don't you read the Jane's International Defence Review?
No, I'm busy studying and working my ass off. You, my friend, are in college and I assume are doing the same, except you have the time to actually read the review. Also, CUTE DOGGY :D MonstaMunch: Both sides claim that ownership of the land is their "god given right", though one might wonder why said god waited until the 60's to give it to Israel.
