“Wasnt there a massive Terrorist attack in the London Underground a few years ago.”
Yep. 52 people were killed by terrorism, on a population of 62 million.
In the Second Intifada, 1100 Israelis were killed by terrorism, on a population of 7 million. And that is only the period of 2000-2005 – not counting any deaths after 2005.
In the US, on 9/11, 2996 died.
Can you do the math or do I need to calculate statistically how much more chances an Israeli has of being killed by terrorism than an American?
@Avi K:
“CG, as a matter off act I walk through the “Moslem” Quarter (the old Jewish Qyarter now being restored) every Chol HaMoed for the traditional Yom Iyun at Yeshivat Ateret Yerushalayim.”
Yeah, right, on Chol HaMoed, in a crowd of others with armed guards. Or carrying a weapon yourself, even?
“I don not have reason to go to the other places you have mentioned – and neither have I been to Tel Aviv or Haifa in several years. Simply no reason.”
Neither do I have any reason to go to known problematic areas here. Simply no reason.
