Let's try not to read more into this list than there is.

Israel being listed towards the bottom of the list doesn't mean that Israeli's aren't peaceful, just that on any given day the odds of something bad happening to you is greater compared to say Norway. Is this really a big surprise?

What would be interesting is to see where Germany would be on the list in 1928 and 1938? There were a lot of folks in the United States that looked on the "peaceful" Nazi society with envy (Walt Disney, Henry Ford, etc)
What you say is exactly what I meant - 100%!
