According to Betselem (an Israeli Rights organization that is often seen as being Pro-Palestinian by Israelis) the count of Israelis killed by Palestinians since 1987 (the beginning of the first Intifada) until late 2011 is 1,517 civilian deaths. Military deaths are more ambiguous because it is difficult to distinguish an Israeli death from a "Non-Palestinian Arab bullet" from a "Palestinian Arab bullet". The number, though is probably between 1,000-2,000.

Answer:
Blowing themselves up does not qualify as being killed by Israelis.
To address the Question: Too many Palestinians have been killed. Thousands. However, you should be aware that almost all of these deaths occurred as collateral damage while Israel was trying to defend its populace against terrorist rocket attacks, suicide bombers and the like. Israel targets military objectives, warning nearby civilians in advance through phone calls and leaflets, while Israel's terrorist enemies target civilian objectives almost exclusively. As one witness, a journalist, said: "Israel uses its weapons to protect its women and children, while Hamas uses women and children to protect its weapons" by putting them as a human shield near weapons caches and rocket launchers in Gaza. Thus Israel faces an impossible situation in which the terrorists are just waiting for Palestinians to be unintentionally killed so that they can sieze the opportunity to internationally bash Israel in the U.N. and the media. They shed false tears, which could have been prevented by laying down their Iran-supplied weapons and sitting down to negotiate. When Israeli civilians are killed, these same terorists hand out candies and sing in the streets.

How many Israelis killed and how many Palestinians killed since the state of Israel created?
If you do a search on the web of casualty numbers for all wars and conflicts between Israelis and Palestinians, you can find the numbers although there are many different reports on numbers especially on the Arab side which is less exact. I took the higher estimates for all and counted approximately 19,000 Palestinians killed by Israelis and 18,885 Israelis killed by Palestinians and other Arabs since the start of the conflict in the 1920s. Also note that a further 18,300 Palestinians were killed by other Arab groups (Black September, War of the Camps, etc.). The amount of Israeli casualties from only conflicts with the Palestinians ranges from 2,000-3,000 individuals.
How many deaths fell in the Gaza war of 2009?
Between 1,166 and 1,417 Palestinians (of whom ca 700 were Hamas) and 13 Israelis (of whom 10 were soldiers) were killed.
What do Palestinians believe in?
In terms of religion, most Palestinians are Sunni Muslims with a minority of Christians. "Druze Palestinians" and "Jewish Palestinians" typically identify with Israel more than Palestine and therefore call themselves Druze Israelis and Jewish Israelis. In terms of day to day occurrences, because of the relatively high level of education, Palestinians are less prone to believing conspiracy theories, except where Jews or Israel are concerned, than other Arab groups. They also tend to be more rational for the same reason. In terms of values, Palestinians have many of the same values as other Arabs, such as a high regard for family and tradition, open arms and hospitality to strangers, and strong emotional displays (especially concerning anger).
Are the Israelis and the Palestinians fighting about Gaza?
It is important to note that the military/paramilitary conflict is between Israelis and Palestinians, not Jews and Palestinians since the Israeli Army contains more than just Jews. Israelis and Palestinians are still fighting because neither group has achieved their objective. The Israeli objective is to have a dominant state in the region, living in peace with its neighbors, and with borders that are secure. The Palestinian objective is to have an independent government, international relations, and freedom of movement for its inhabitants. Unfortunately, both of these objectives are greatly expanded by fanatics on both sides who see the only possible implementation of these ideals being one in which the other party cannot exist or exists in such a weakened and defeated state that there can be no real peace. This is why the conflict continues. To see the causes and desires fueling the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict in more detail, see the related question.
Are Israelis terrorists?
No that would be racist, it's like getting shot by a white guy and everybody suddenly thinking all whites are killers. It isn't racist. It is simply incorrect. Like saying Palestinians are terrorists. Some Israelis are terrorists, just like some Palestinians are. Israelis (or rather Jews, because this was before Israel was created) invented modern terrorism. There were many massacres, bombings and assassinations committed by jews well before palestinians caught onto the idea. The Israeli state practises terrorism. The massacre of civilians, bombing of cities, mass imprisonment of civilians, erection of walls to prevent population movement, cutting off food and medical supplies, torture and assassination of poltiical opponents etc etc. The fact that palestinian terrorist groups may do some of the same things does not justify the state of Israel behaving as a terrorist organisation.

How have Palestinian Arabs and Kurds been considered refugees in their pasts?
A refugee is simply a person who feels that he must flee from one location because of fear for his life and/or the lives of his family. Many Palestinians have been forced into refugee status because of the violence perpetrated against them by Israelis, other Palestinians, Jordanians, Syrians, Lebanese, Egyptians, Kuwaitis, and Iraqis. Many Kurds have been forced into refugee status because of Iraqis, Turks, Syrians, and Iranians.

How have Israelis treated the Palestinians?
Israel and the State of Palestine are major enemies. They have been conflicting since the formation of the Jewish state in 1948. Israel and Palestine have been involved in several wars, all of which Israel has won. Israel is a greater military power than Palestine, which is why Israel has won more wars and killed more Palestinians in the process. However, the Israelis are only defending their nation. Israel has occupied Palestine for almost sixty years. Israel has the right to protect itself against attacks, and has a strict military policy to protect itself because it is surrounded by enemy nations. The current government of Palestine is regarded as a terrorist organization by many countries, such as Israel and the United States, which is why Israel is especially cautious.
