This position paper discusses the direct relationship between the mass civilian armament of Jewish society in Israel and the rise in rates of gun crime and armed violence within Palestinian society. Recent years have witnessed an unprecedented rise in the number of Palestinian Arabs in Israel killed due to structural developments in organized crime and the wave of internal violence engulfing Palestinian society. The process is taking place in a context of an intentional lack of state regulation and complicity by the law enforcement agencies responsible for controlling the proliferation of murders. The stockpile of legal and licensed firearms within Jewish Israeli society, in the hands of individuals and located in military camps, constitutes a primary source of the supply of weapons and ammunition to Palestinian society.
