Since I live, and have lived for many years, in just such 'less traveled places', I'm happy to assure you that they are, indeed, safe. In Britain (as indeed, I belive, in the U.S.), the parts of the country which can be seriously described as 'unsafe' are highly concentrated pockets in some inner cities. For most people, in most of the country, most of the time, there are no serious threats to one's personal safety as one goes about one's daily business.
The same holds true in the vicinity of Hebron, near which I live, and in most of Israel, including Judah and Samaria. But if you speak to an old-time Hebronite, he’ll say something like: “I’ve lived here forty years, and have known about 40 permanent residents.” When he sees your blank stare, he’ll explain that he means people stabbed, shot or beaten to death by Arabs; i.e., made permanent residents of Hebron’s cemetery. But on a day-to-day basis, one goes about one’s business without threat. One interacts with Jews, and also with Arabs on more or less cordial terms, and when the tourists are frightened because they don’t understand what all those explosions right nearby are about, you explain to them that it’s an Arab wedding, when they traditionally set off fireworks. Even so, the menace is always there, like living in an earthquake zone or near a volcano.
So if nothing of that kind is present in England, I envy your fortune. But even so, I would not leave my home in Remat Mamre with all its dormant troubles for your hospitable, safe England. It’s simply where I belong.
