How many Israelis have been killed by Arabs since 1850?
It is unclear what an "Israeli" is prior to 1948 as there was no state of Israel before that point.

Additionally, many non-Zionist Palestinian Jews and Palestinian Arabs would also have descendants who would be Israeli citizens.

After the war, Palestinians see the events of the 1947-1949 Jewish-Arab Engagement as the Nakba (Great Catastrophe).
