If you take the time to do some research via the provided link, you might understand what factors are included in determining "peaceful" in this survey. Prison population, for example, is included.
Fill out the 'data request form' at the bottom of the page and find out why GPI ranked Israel more peacefull...

Good thing the US isn't in the top 50. I wouldn't want the defenders of the free world to be a bunch of pussies.

"Peace is essential to address the global challenges facing humanity today. Global challenges call for global solutions and this requires cooperation on a scale unparalleled in human history.
Peace is the prerequisite because without peace we will be unable to achieve the levels of cooperation, inclusiveness and social equity necessary to solve problems such as climate change, global poverty, and the hea More..
