During the period 29th September 2000 and August 10th 2005 the Palestinain casualty stats were as follows (source: Palestine Red Cresent Society):

This is Israeli state terrorism and has full indirect support of USA and several other Western countries! The West often points finger at and takes action against other countries for their poor record on Human Rights (poor human rights record was also mentioned amongst excuses for invading Afghanistan/Iraq and for denying EU membership to Turkey). But, Israeli atrocities are tolerated and Israel gets billions of dollars of help from USA annually.
