Uh...where’s Israel? I kind of have to discount any analysis that doesn’t include them. They had 620 reported attacks in one month in 2015.

One month man. Not one year. They had well over 4,000 in 2015 alone.

Its pretty easy to find via Google, through multiple sources. Seems to me like the lack of inclusion is more of a statement about how the maker of that poll views attacks on Israel than any quibbling over numbers.

The Global Terrorism Database is an open-source academic resource administered by countless people of various persuasions. I very much doubt there's a conspiracy to exclude Israel specifically. More likely, the figures you gave are bogus.

Right. Because we all know that there have been no attacks in Israel for the past 50 years. All you actually have to do here is apply critical thought. My initial look into this was prompted by “Wait? No Israel? That makes no sense.” A quick look confirmed it.

I wish you'd heed your third sentence. No one is arguing that there have been no attacks in Israel. The point is that, being a tiny, highly fortified country, it hasn't received enough attacks to be counted among the top dozen countries. Not sure why that's so hard to accept.
