Some commentators argue that the extent of the violence against Israel is greatly exaggerated, pointing out the combined homicide rate including deaths from terrorism is still lower than that of many Western countries. For example, E.V. Kontorovich writes in the NY Post, "The State Department last month issued a travel warning urging Americans to 'defer travel to Israel' because the place is too dangerous - the second such warning in four months. Yet Israel is still safer than America - let alone other nations for which State does not offer warnings." [1].

Israelis wonder about the religious precepts of their peace partners when they hear public incitement from mosques to violence against Israelis. Why does the cry of ''Allah-hu-Akbar'' (Allah is great) invariably accompany Arab acts of terror? During an official visit to the Vatican, Israel's Chief Rabbi Lau brought this Israeli concern up with the pope. Nevertheless, terrorist attacks in the name of Allah continue.

Instead, Israel reaffirmed there will be no letup in its campaign against those involved in violence. Israel "will continue to fight terror everywhere, at any time and in any way possible," a Cabinet statement said Sunday, after a Hamas homicide bomber killed seven Israelis on a Jerusalem bus earlier in the day.
