Don’t forget that E”Y has more hashgacha pratis than other places, although that does not mean that bad things do not happen. yet, even when bad things do happen, we are also zoche to many miracles that prevent even more loss of life. Does anyone remember the Scuds during the first gulf war. Yes, scuds falling nightly and people sitting in sealed rooms was bad, yet there were almost no fatalities, while 1 scud in Saudi Arabia killed over a hundred (I don’t remember exactly how many) American soldiers.
Think of this mashal- a parent punishes his child, the child may feel like bad things are happening to him, but he still would rather be home with the parent, and feels safest there, than anywhere else.
Not to mention, that most people in most places feel perfectly comfortable walking alone late at night, letting their kids go out alone, etc. How true is that is most other places?
