I don't think arguments will necessarily convince him. It sounds like an emotional reaction, not a logical one. He needs to accept that Israel has different risks to America, but he can't guarantee her safety, wherever she is.

100% I posted last week about how statistically it's more likely to die in a car accident in the USA than a terror attack here.
But no one gets nervous getting into a car in the USA. It's emotional not logical.

Is it more likely to die of a car accident in Israel than in ny/nj? I wouldn't be surprised. going to look it up.
But it really does not matter.

Nope. Israeli is 4.2 per 100,000 and the USA is 12.4 per 100,000.

What Loveshashem said. Three times more car fatalities in the US per person.
I posted this last week - people in Israel live on average 5 years more than Americans. So which country is more unsafe?
It is psychological though. That’s the whole point of terror, to sow fear.

In any case, the US is the size of a good portion of the European continent, and Israel is the size of one of our smaller states. Not sure how anything is comparable. |
These statistics are percentage based on the size of the population. Therefore they are comparable.
Also Israel has just been ranked the 4th happiest country in the world while the USA is the 15th.
Somehow even if there's issues here, and terror attacks, overall the people here live longer and are much happier than people in the USA and most countries.
