This organization slices and dices the Israeli/Palestinian fatalities statistics according to their analysis of whether the person killed was a combatant or a non-combatant.
ict.org.il

As of 10/2/02, Palestinians had killed a total of 480 Israeli non-combatants, 22 of whom were younger than 12. Israelis had killed a total 653 Palestinian non-combatants, 48 of whom were younger than 12.

Non-combatants killed by Israelis were mostly male, between the age of 12 and 29 (365 out of 480).

Non-combatant Israeli women killed by Palestinians 189 out of 480. Non-combatant Israelis over the age of 45 killed by Palestinians 153 out of 480. So the Palestinians are far more likely to kill women and old people than the Israelis.

Yes, but the way b'tselem counts, all Palestinians not in uniform are "civilians". Thus, the suicide bombers and gunmen of Hamas and PIJ and Al Aqsa Brigades are all civilians, just so long as they weren't PA policemen as well. I do not consider this a reasonable method of categorization.
