HaRav Reuven Feinstein has said many times that the Klalah of Pachad is Davka "B'Eretz Oivechem"

I wasn’t talking about “feeling” safe which I agree that most Israelis do. I meant “BEING” safe. Quoting pesukim and gedolim doesn’t change the facts on the ground.
For the purposes of this discussion, I'd go with the place that תמיד עיני ה' אלוקיך בה
This pasuk does not indicate that tragedies won’t happen in E”Y, as apparent in the last three thousand years and most recently in the last 70 bloody years since the establishment of the state of Israel.
The October 7 massacre happened in E”Y and so has the Intifadas and all other more than 3000 civilians killed in terror attacks. Correct me if I’m wrong but NYC has had two terror incidents in the past 40 years.
I simply don't understand how people that just recently had to run to shelters and have had a miracle two weeks ago with armed terrorists can argue that it’s the safest place.
