The numbers of Palestinians kiled were far more on a weekly basis and overall. Only on the weeks of suicide bombing were less palestinians killed. In the western media, the deaths in Israel are covered in greater detail. I believe the Al-jazeera covers the deaths in Palestine disproportionately. That seems to explain partially the perception of the West and the perception of the Arabs in this conflict.

And on Al Jazeera, the Palestinians died in "martyrdom operations".

Number counts don't tell the whole story. It is fair to ask, how many of the Palestinians died committing acts of violence? If part of your campaign involves riflemen shooting at armored checkposts every night, your casualties are bound to be higher than the other side's.

This doesn't mean that many innocents haven't died too. But not one Palestinian has died because an Israeli took an Uzi to a bus stop and shot everyone in sight.
