RAMALLAH (BNO NEWS) — More than 7,000 Palestinians were killed in the last decade as a result of continuous Israeli attacks, Palestine News Network reported on Thursday.

A report from the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS) said 7,342 Palestinians were killed in the period from September 29, 2000 until December 31, 2010. There were 2,183 killings in the West Bank, while 5,015 Palestinians were killed in Gaza and the remaining number were Palestinian residents of Israel and abroad.

According to the report, 2009 was the bloodiest year in which 1,219 Palestinians were killed, followed by 2002 in which 1,192 Palestinians were killed. In 2010, 107 were killed including the nine Turkish activists who were killed during the May 2010 raid on the Gaza flotilla.

The report also noted that from 1967 until today, Israeli forces arrested around 750,000 Palestinians including nearly 12,000 females and thousands of children. Currently, there are around six thousand Palestinians in Israeli prison, including 37 female prisoners and 245 children.

    Israel should not even be occupying the land they are on right now. They were welcomed there by the palestines and bombed them off it. I know both Jews and Palestinians who remember when their grand mothers and fathers told them stories about how they grew up with Palestinians and it was fun and all of that. Then Israel get bright and bomb the people off their land. Holy land too. The palestinians are not fighting in the right manner because they don’t have world support and the arms to match Israel.

    But if Jesus was born in Dominica and America or some powerful nation come and take over half of Dominica and give me a little corner to live, god knows I would fight for my country any way I could. And the funny thing is, America came out few years ago, George bush and blatantly said that Israel is occupying Palestinian land, but it happen a long time ago so it is theirs now.

    What????!!!!!!!!

      In total agreement with you Truth. The true Jews (not european/american zionists) were living in total harmony with the Palestinians before England started it’s renownd colonial manoeuvres. It’s amazing how so much of the true history behind this whole confict is hidden.

      But even to Englands credit they did not originally agree with the the zionist demands when originally proposing that Israel be created in it’s then owned colony Uganda!! They allowed the zionist into Aden as it was originally called on the proviso that they integrate with the indigineous Palestinian/Biblical Jewish population.

      They played the game initially to gain entry and then embarked on a terrorist campagin and ethinic cleansing. A sober check of the history will show that the zionist were the original terrorist of which many that were wanted by the british government eventually became the leaders of modern-day Israel (Menachen Begin for example was a wanted terrorist by the british)

      Everyone needs to seriously check the history before falling for the propoganda diseminated by a well controlled media.

    There are world wide organizations well finance, and their sole ambition is to portray Israel as the aggressor. They will tell you how many women and children are killed or are being killed by the Israeli army,but what they will not say is.Women and children are been used constantly by the Palestinians to attack the Israelis. In this article not one victim of Israel in mentioned
    They are launching rockets into Israel from areas (land) that Israel has abandoned for the sake of peace,and knowing that Israel will retaliate they are using women and children as human shield.
    In Algeria over 200,000 people have been killed. Not by the Israeli army but by Muslim,they are killing each other.Why don’t the Muslim world take to the streets and demonstrate.
    A man from Denmark drew a cartoon of their prophet and there was world-wide protest by the Muslim world.

      You really are full of s’it.

      I take it that you are responding straight from the Knesset, and don’t think for one moment that decent thinking people can’t see through your vile.

      What’s your real name, Moshe Schmutz?

      Don’t worry, justice will be served in this world eventually as what you are trying to uphold cannot last forever.

      Those running the show over there are not Gods chosen people they are the same Pharisees that killed His Son. That is why there has been no peace because the true chosen ones are being denied a voice.

      The Zionist have been getting away with all sorts of crimes against humanity because they have infiltrated all the higher echelons of power, influence and control throughout the world and whenever anyone tries to expose or object to their behavior they start claiming victim-hood or antisemitism.

      And all our so called Christian leaders are lacking in spine to and too frightened of somehow losing their feeble positions of piety to wholeheartedly condemn their evil actions.

      There will never be any peace in this world until this unjust situation is put right.
