As we near the end of the year 2003, the violence in Israel caused nearly 6,000 casualties. The total number of Israelis killed: 873 of which 105 were under the age of 18 and 64 were aged 65 and over.
These staggering details, if extrapolated to American (based upon a 50 to 1 population ratio) deaths would amount to 300,000 casualties and approximately 44,000 deaths.
Please take the above figures and emotional adjuncts into consideration when deciding on deductions in loan guarantees to Israel due to construction of border fence necessary to protect lives within Israel; both Jewish, Arab and foreign workers.

Not sure what the comment has to do with the post, but nevertheless, I'm curious why you didn't go on to extrapolate the Palestinian casualty figures.
