AY – +1 Just curious about your comment about the Satmar Rebbe, Zatzal. It sounds like you were saying that he would have approved of a deal with the Arabs at his time? Is that what you were saying?
Avi K. +1 What you are saying is very true and probably the main reason that some Americans think that the US is safer than EY. Another part of it is that everying that happens in EY is blown up in the news, whereas they do not report every mugging, etc. that happens in the US.
Another part is that people in the US take it for granted that they have to take certain safety precautions and that their lives are restricted as a result. ZD – you say that you were never mugged. Well, that is because you do not walk around at 2:00 am like I do all the time in EY. You think about where you are going and what time it is – things that I do not have to do here.
Also, you may have never been mugged, but tons of people in the US have. Many people have told me that they were mugged in the US (several at gunpoint). I know of almost no one who was ever mugged in EY.
