ABSTRACT

A flag of the Givati brigade. A flag of Israel. A phosphorescent poster with the slogan “Defend your homeland—Join in.” Sash caps and IDF uniforms. Kalashnikov rifles. FN-MAG machine guns. Uzi and Galil submachine guns. Hundreds of ammunition magazines. These are the contents of a shed in the heart of a forest on the outskirts of Honesdale, a village in northeastern Pennsylvania. The last line of defense in case violence is unleashed against the Jews of the United States of America. 1
