Allison, at the Unsealed Room, an Israeli blogger, has a poignant post that’s worth a read:
"I just got back from my daughter’s karate class. I brought my toddler along this time, and hung out in the lobby waiting for the class to finish. Next to me was a guy dressed in a T-shirt and chinos who looked like he was in his early 30’s — he had a son in the same class, who must have been six or seven. He had a toddler girl in tow, too. He also had an M-16."
Imagine the carrying on if you saw something like this almost anywhere in USA. In Israel it’s normal.
