this is along the lines of mistaking climate for weather. yes there are areas in israel where you do not necessarily want to be a tourist or visit, but the vast majority of the country is perfectly safe and I'd argue (being from there, and going back nearly every year) it's far safer on average than anywhere I've lived in LA / the US

and this is all WITH the place being currently in a state of chaos and PRO democracy protests.

Israel is much safer overall than the US.

Neither Israel nor its American proxies and supportive lobbying groups particularly are big on highlighting that fact, since the misperception is politically useful.
