2. How many "police officers" does Israel have anyway?
According to wikipedia, the population of Israel is 7,282,000.

If you take 7,282,000 divided by 14,000 = 520.14xxxxx

So there is one 'police officer' for every 520 people in Israel? Doesn't that number seem kinda high?

You think all of these police officers are really all 'police officers' (rather than, say, military) and/or are they all really 'Israeli'?

I dunno, I'm just asking a question/wondering about the validity of this "story".
