Let’s see, around 3,700 terror victims since before Israel’s founding. That’s still safer than New York.
You wouldn’t even know the murder rate of Arabs against Jews in Arab lands since they were hardly prosecuted. Now, I want comparing Israel to Europe, America or the Arab countries. Compare Israel to Israel. It is much safer now to be there than it ever was.
To say that your chances of being attacked in Israel is more than that of Europe is completely off track.
Besides, quality of life for millions of people does have a value. When the early colonists fought the British they were not fighting for their lives. The British were not attacking them. The revolution was totally about quality of life, issues that are trivial by today’s troubles. And yet, they killed and died for it and nobody thought it unreasonable. To point to a few violent byproducts while the successes stare you in the face is not being truthful.
