Hi Nadine Carroll; The article says that they compiled the statistics, but they don't give it on a month by month basis.

Re: "I presume you mean their own death rates. Attack usually costs more casualties than defense." This is frequently true when military forces are attacking military targets. But the Palestinians don't have a military, and the Israeli civilians take the brunt of Palestinian attacks. So rather than a death rate due to attacks, what I'm looking for is more like a murder rate. The situation is consistent with "communal violence" statistics, rather than wartime statistics.

By the way, the reason for analyzing from the basis of deaths is that other violent actions are even more difficult to assess.
