An international Zionist youth movement urged American Jews to arm themselves and called on President Donald Trump on Friday to expedite the deportation of undocumented immigrants it labeled “ticking time bombs” in response to recent antisemitic attacks in Washington, DC, and Boulder.
According to a Betar Worldwide press release issued Friday from Boulder, CEO Jon Mantell and vice chairman of Betar worldwide Ronn Torossian—an American PR executive and pro-Israel activist—said, “It’s time for Jews to arm themselves—nobody is coming to save us. Every Jew a 22, stay alive with a 45.” They warned that recent attacks could have ended differently had a Jewish bystander returned fire.
Founded in 1923 by Revisionist Zionist leader Ze’ev Jabotinsky in Riga, Latvia, Betar long championed Jewish self-defense and nationalist ideals.
As antisemitic violence continued to rise, Betar US vowed to press the Trump administration until all alleged “ticking time bombs” were deported and maintained that only a well-armed Jewish community could deter future attacks.
