Back during the days of nearly weekly suicide bombings (for example in 2002), Americans would make mass calls to Israelis with 'are you OK?' phone calls after each bombing.
This would annoy Israelis, especially those who lived pretty far from the bombings and who resent the implication that Israel is dangerous.
This week, there was a major Metro train wreck in DC with nine people killed and many injured. A lot of us residents of greater Washington D.C. have received phone calls or emails from friends and relatives in Israel asking us, "are you OK?".
