I can?t count the number of terror related articles I have read in the last year about Israel. On the other hand, I?ve probably only read a few dozen articles over the same period of time about Israeli women facing domestic violence.

With this kind of media focus on conflict many Israeli women, myself included, are more afraid of terror than their intimate partners. However, the data reveals another story.
?
The Women?s International Zionist Organization announced that the number of women that have been killed by partner violence in Israel so far this year is 19. This is more than nine times the number of Israeli women that have been killed in terrorist related incidents in 2012, including Operation Pillar of Defense. Only two women have been killed in terror attacks so far this year. Furthermore, the number of people in general that have been killed in terror incidents in Israel in 2012 is 14 - this is five people less than the total number of women that have been killed by their partners.?
As a journalist and a woman, this gives me a lot to think about. Any thoughts from readers??
