In a recently published report, Global Peace Index placed Israel only three steps from the less peaceful countries in the world.

In its third year study, an Australian nonprofit organization ranked 144 countries for how peaceful they are.

On top of the list, New Zealand followed by Denmark and Norway were ranked as the most peaceful countries in the world.

Somalia, Afghanistan and Iraq only kept Israel from "occupying" the bottom of the list and positioned it as 141st out of 144 countries.

Although 2008 research study ranked Israel 136th, but then the list only had 140 countries, which means that they have slipped one position lower since then. In 2007 Israel was ranked 119 out of 121.

Out of the 23 indicators used in the report to determine the existence or absence of peace, Israel received the lowest possible "peace" scores for military capability, aggregate number of heavy weapons, number of armed services personnel and volume of imports of major conventional weapons. Similarly low was Israel score when it came to respect for human rights, potential for attacks and perceptions of criminality in society.

In short we can say: This is a quick shot of Zionistan-Israel reality.
