Only in Israel

Amen

And FYI, its SOP for active IDF soldiers to keep a weapon on them or near them at all times. This woman might be at a party one minute and then rushing to join her battalion the next.

Those poor bastards might have to react to hostile contact just walking down the street. If I were surrounded by pieces of shit who wanted to genocide my people, you wouldn't be able to stop me from taking my M4A1 every time I head out.

Well yes and no, Israel is actually pretty safe (within reason) and one of the largest tech hubs in the world now with the infrastructure and security to preserve it (thanks to US assistance). The difference is required military service and less dissociation between civilians and the military--because every citizen is military or retired military. The other difference is what's best translated as 'immediate response doctrine' and 'life preservation doctrine'. Since most Hamas terrorist attacks are on civilian targets, and in many case the softest targets possible (special needs schools, hospitals, etc), there's the mentality of I must protect my people immediately and at any cost. The best way I can describe it is a modern survivalist culture with the modern tech industry built on top.
