    Eli ,
         I'm assuming that you meant "peaceful" .

         Peaceful ?????

         I'd feel safer alone at 2:00 am in Central Park than in
         Israel right now !

   I'll admit that if you are adressing purely a Jewish audience but
surely you realise that you are not .
   There are many countries in the Mid East that are orders of magnitude 
more peaceful than Israel. But due to the nature of their governments
make them inaccessible to anyone admitting to being Jewish.Even if
you were able to get into some of these arabic countries I'm sure
some of the writings of Yaqim Martillo would make you feel less safe
than someone who was not jewish.

    I'll agree with you that I'd rather be in Israel than these

     1. Lebanon
     2. Iran
     3. Iraq
     4. Afghanistan
     5. Syria
     6. Both Yemens
     

     I'd have to put Cyprus & Egypt aboubt level with Israel as to my
own personal feelings of safety.

     Countries I'd feel safer in.

     1. Jordan
     2. Turkey
     3. Kuwait
     4. Oman
     5. Saudia Arabia
     6. United Arab Emirates
     7. Qatar
     8. Bahrain


  I seem to remember that Bahrain & Cyprus being the only countries
that do not specifically ask you if you are jewish when requesting
visa info or entry into the country.


 I can see where you might feel safer in Israel than any other Mid
East country but PEACEFUL , forget that !!!!!!!!
