“no Jewish kids are being blow up on their school buses and in nightclubs”
You make a good point - those bombings have been way down since the saddam regime was removed.
I hadn’t thought about it, but you all are right. If you look at the trend of news stories of “Israel +bombing” the stories spiked about 2001 but has fallen off since to their mid 90s levels.

Similar trend for “Israel +terrorism”

Also, when looking at that, take into consideration the increase in the number of news outlets that Google tracks and it is pretty obvious that there is a downward trend since Saddam was disposed.
