Follow the bouncing electron, buckaroo:
January 15, 2004: Israel took a lot of international heat last year for it's anti-terrorism measures. But there were few complaints in Israel, because terrorist attacks against Israelis were down 30 percent in 2003 (3838 attacks) versus 2002 (5301 attacks). More importantly, at least for Israelis, only half as many Israelis were killed by terrorists in 2003 (213) compared to 2002 (451 dead). Perhaps nearly as reassuring to many Israelis, there were 22 percent more foreign tourists visiting Israel in 2003, versus 2002. But that's still 56 percent fewer than showed up in 2000, just before the latest war with the Palestinians began. However, while the Israeli economy has suffered a recession because of the fighting, the Palestinian economy has been devastated..

swhitebull - need more, Buckaroo? Im just getting started.
So, of all those attacks on Israels attempted but failed, HOW MANY DO YOU THINK RESULTED IN THE DEATHS OF THE PERPETRATORS? Think those unsuccessful, intercepted attacks contributed to the disparity in casualties? think the assailants were little old hairy Palestinian women in burkas? or perhaps, JUST PERHAPS, they were young men between the ages of 18 and 45? Dead ones, mind you.
