One could argue that psychologically, the bombings and terror directed against Israel is much worse than 9/11 was for Americans. They must live in constant fear. Especially since Israel is so geographically small. In America, New York is distant for many people, and the horror of what happened on 9/11 has a kind of sterile, made-for-TV feel. In Israel, I would guess that a large percentage of the populace has been directly affected by the terror.

To put it another way, 9/11 was one big bang followed by a whole lot of payback on our part. In Israel, by contrast, they are suffering a psychological death by a thousand paper cuts, and have taken it for years.

I agree with all you've said and I would only add that they are also surrounded on every side by numerous enemies who would love to see them wiped off the face of the earth. And also the world political community has come down much harder on Israel than on us.
