1,717 Palestinians and 668 Israelis have been killed since the end of September, 2000. Five Palestinians were killed trying to climb a fence into Israel, probably to seek work. Over about 813 days since the second intifada began that's about 2.93 deaths per day. It's not on the scale of violence in places like the former Yugoslavia, Sierra Leone, Rwanda or Timor, but it's still a lot - though less than died on September 11 - and it's exacerbated by the apparent hopelessness of the conflict. God save us!
