Dear John,

The earth has 7 billion inhabitants, Israel 1'000 times less... the ratio is the same as for this exchange...

Makes me think of Zechariah 12:3:

On that day I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples. All who lift it will surely hurt themselves. And all the nations of the earth will gather against it.
