Since the intifada erupted four years ago, 1,017 Israelis were killed, of them 70% were civilians and 30% members of Israeli security forces, data published by the ISA this (Monday) afternoon after four years of confrontation reveal. According to the data, Palestinian militants perpetrated 13,730 shooting attacks and 138 suicide bombings. Nearly 5,600 Israelis were injured during the time period, of them 82% civilians and 18% security forces personnel. The bloodiest year was 2002 during which 452 Israelis were killed and 2,309 sustained injuries. A significant drop has occurred since then, culminating in 2004 during which 97 Israelis were killed, another 441 injured. However, the firings of Kassam rockets have risen steadily in the past year. In 2002, only 25 rockets landed within the Green Line, 15 in Gaza and two on the West Bank. In 2004, 118 landed in Israel and 41 in the Gaza Strip. The ISA also outlined the growing involvement of Hezbollah in Palestinian terrorist activities. The Lebanese terror group mode of operation concentrates on assisting terrorists or foreign accomplices penetrate Israel, smuggling arms, financial backing and setting up a terrorist infrastructure in Palestinian territories or among Israeli-Arabs.

Data published by ISA four years after conflict erupted shows significant drop in fatalities and injuries but
"Religion of peace" ping.
The bloodiest year of the conflict was 1936-37 when 6,000 Jews were killed by Palestinian Arabs. Anyone who thinks this isn't the same war, the same desire by the Palestinian Arabs to exterminate or expel the Jewish people, is deluding themselves.
Please do not impose your Christian religious view of abortion on Israel. Mazsorti (conservative) and many modern Orthodox rabbis will tell you that life begins at birth.
I don't see how you can justify the murder and maiming of thousands.
to stop it--the chicago way--they kill one of yours you kill 10 of them
or my way--you kill 100 of them
I never did. Both set of statistics are horrific...
Are numbers available on how many Palestinians and/or their compatriots managed to get themselves killed and/or maimed in thier quest to eliminate Israel? I'm certain they are all classified as "innocent" victims of Israel by their accounts.

its kind of old, only sept 2000 - feb 2003
but i guess its an idea of the palestinian numbers.
You'll find summaries and comprehensive breaksowns of casualties at International Policy Institute for Counter-Terrorism . Links are under Databases/Arab-Israeli Conflict on the left.
Thanks. I'll look at those resources. It would be interesting to read an "analysis" written by one of their own.
You can find that at one of the Red Crescent sites, I think it's the Palestinian Red Crescent Society. Don't have a link handy but it'll be easy to find on google. One thing you won't see is a category called combatants.
