Lilmod, a woman once told me that she was walking alone late at night in Yerushalayim when she realized that a man was walking behind her. She quickened her pace and he quickened his. He then passed her, turned around, wagged his finger at her and said “You’re not in America!” Of course, You can see a statistical comparison on-line ( Country vs country: Israel and United States compared: Crime stats) – and keep in mind that the Israeli crime rate includes “family honor” killings.
