661 Palestinians: 23 Israelis

In 2006, 661 Palestinians died as a result of Israeli military action, with 23 Israelis killed in the same period. Palestinian GDP is now 20 times less than Israeli GDP, Palestinians have suffered a 40 per cent fall in per capita GDP since 2000 — double that of the two worst years of the 1930s US Great Depression.
Whilst the US claims to talk peace, recent Associated Press reports on military aid made its real intentions explicit. The US is offering Israel a $30 billion military aid package over 10 years, a 25 per cent increase on last year.
