Have We Lost Our Appreciation for living in and visiting Eretz Yisroel

Feelings don't care about your facts.

I was actually at the site of that terror attack about 15 minutes afterwards. I felt complety safe, as did everybody around me. When people in NY are attacked, people get scared. Yes, people I. Ey run to bombshells. There are animals there in the form of human beings. But 10 minutes later, life continues as normal. Here, people change there entire lifestyle. Stop taking public transportation,  run out to get guns, take karate lessons. There is a sense of fear.

Perhaps because in EY people became used to life under threat and people here are still used to the calm and safety we had up until Covid?

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.

Thanks for the compliment. But I'm born and bred right here in the USA. As I believe a few other member who agreed with me here.
