    Israeli Civil Defense Use of M1 Carbines

    I just came across this picture, which led me to more. I'll attach more pictures Tomorrow. Most all the pictures have no caption.

    This one shows a Israeli kindergarten teacher carrying an M1icon carbine while taking the kids on a field trip to the local art museum.

    The information I've found stated that various civilian defense forces now use the carbine after it had been phased out by Police and non-front line IDF support units.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    We talked about this a couple years ago too, it sounds like the ones carrying them now are more like a neighborhood watch sort of group. We have a member here that was IDF or some offshoot...he was talking about it. Wonder why she couldn't get the mag pouch any further down...

    Even a suicide bomber doesn't really want to get shot, even by accident. I have no doubt she would shoot.

    It is part of their doctrine.
    Join the Army and get trained, for one day you may need to call on that training to save lives!! Every Isreali citizen bears arms and for good reason, noone can live in peace in that region!

    If you ever get time to read up on the Palestine Conflict, us Brits have a lot to answer for!!

    Working with countries of the area since the mid-nineties I must say that I really like Israel and the way they can live and cope with the horrible situation they are in.
    What I can not understand is the hatred against them in the western world, but that would draw us into politics, which shall stay out in order to stay all friends.
    Armed citizens are not so common if you stay in cities or at least far away from settlements, from the borders to the Palestinian territories and from the most exposed Kibbutzes. There are actually very few armed people, military personnel, armoured vehicles and so on. You really don't recognise the place if you only know it from the TV news.
    I actually have always felt quite safe there.
    Once I even crossed the land border between Jordan and Israel for a little "mistake" made by my Jordanian customer and had a striking experience. It was like passing from a place in shambles into Switzerlandicon.
    If you also consider that I had just been kept under a "soft" form of arrest in Jordan because of a wrong stamp on my passport (put by a donkey at the airport at 3AM who was reading a magazine, as shown from the cameras of the immigration booth). 6 hours without anybody speaking any understandable language (and I speak quite a few) and with a very discreet armed guard always in sight and my passport just being taken from a place to another and then back and forth again.......
    Once through the border, the Israelis were very curious to understand why an Italianicon businessman was entering Israel from a land passage and not by air.
    I have been very skilfully questioned by 4 different people for at least one hour, my luggage dissected and, at the end of the ordeal, welcomed to Israel.
    Never learned so much in a single business trip, but the most important lesson has been: never listen to your local customers in countries around Israel when you need to go to Israel. Do the things the simple and safe way. Take a damned plane!

    Israeli Civil defense

    Note: By clicking on the link, you may see a picture you've seen before. I'm following up trying to show use of our carbine by other nations.

    Here is the link I pulled the picture from. It will show other arms, so you have to sift thru to see the M1icon carbines.

    While I can usually find beauty in women from any country for some reason the women from Israel have some sort of earthy beauty that cannot be equaled anywhere else.

    I remember some of those old threads too, Jim. I have that same picture of the teacher on the field trip with her class - but without the IDF image affixed to it. It looks like it's easy to confuse the use of M1icon Carbines in Israel with the "AR" type Carbines. I think this might be one of the older threads you were thinking of: https://www.milsurps.com/showthread.php?t=15885 - Bob
