Between the various wars and Intifadas, around 16,000 to 19,000 Arabs identifying as Palestinians have died either as a result of Israeli military action, Israeli civilian action, or from blowing themselves up in Suicide Bombings during the Intifadas.
The number decreases to 6,000-7,000 if the Palestinian Suicide Bombers in the Intifadas are removed from the calculation.
In terms of other countries that have also killed Palestinians.
Jordan: 10,000-20,000
Lebanon: 4,000-7,000
Syria: 500-1,000
Egypt: 500-1,000
Many do, but the majority do not.
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.
In 1948, Jews didn't have a country, so they invaded Palestine, killed many Palestinians, and forced many out. The Jews then changed the name of Palestine to Israel.
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.
The missing word is "displacement".

There was no genocide in Palestine. This is hyperbole.As for the amount of Palestinians (both militants and civilians) that have been killed by Israelis (in uniform or not), the number is probably close to 16,000 individuals. However, when you realize that the total Palestinian population is 4,000,000+ people (of which 1.5 million live peacefully in Israel), it becomes clear that there is no genocide.
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.

the awnser for this questionYes, no one should be banned from returning to something that was once theirs Another Answer:The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is very complicated. There are Palestinians who live in Israel as Israeli citizens.Israel never forced the Palestinians to leave Israel. The neighboring Arab countries warned the Palestinians that Israel was going to be attacked. The Palestinians believed that Israel would be destroyed and they would simply return home. Well, that did not work. Israel was not destroyed. Many Jews were under attack in the Arab countries they lived in, so they fled to Israel where they were taken in. The Arab countries in return did not take in the Palestinians that they instructed to leave.Israel is a democracy, in Israel there are Palestinians who have equal rights. Israel is worried about its safety and therefor is not planning on allowing the Palestinians, who willingly left, return. The Palestinians are taken advantage of by their corrupt leaders and other countries. They are used being used. The Palestinians blame Israel for their misfortune and thus dislike Israel. Because of this, Israel is not willing to freely allow them into the country.There is an additional demographic reason too, beyond the fact that Jewish people have moved to Israel in a kind of a 'swap'; since the great-grandparents / grandparents / etc of the current generation of Palestinians left Israel, the number of descendants of those original Palestinians has increased beyond the remotest possibility of Israel's capacity to safely re-accommodate them.
Several things. Many stayed right where they were, but others were displaced from their family lands. Many of these were never resettled and raised their children and their children's children in "camps," which became breeding grounds for resentment and terrorism. Ethnic Palestinians can be citizens of Israel, with full political rights, but Israel has an interest in not letting so many Palestinians become citizens that they can take over the government. This is the linchpin of the "Right of Return" debate which refers to families resettling in Israel.
The British took a large part of their land and called it Israel for Jewish people to live in. The Palestinians didn't have any say, and the Jewish people hadn't lived there for a long time. This isn't a dating question :) Many Palestinians lost their homes and land when the state of Israel was formed. This is the main reason they are upset. There are several UN resolutions aimed at getting Israel to compensate the Palestinians, but so far they have not been enforced by the global community.
The British Mandate of Palestine covered all of current day Israel (including the occupied territories) and Jordan, as well as parts of Syria. Currently however, the term Palestine refers to the Occupied Territories where Israel has put the Palestinians previously occupying what is now Israel. The Israeli Defense Forces controls Palestine with an iron fist, though recently there has been efforts to bring the Palestinian Authority to power. This has not been successful as of yet because of many things, among them Israel's want for an Israeli Jerusalem without Palestinians and Israel's wants for better safety for their citizens (leading to much worse safety for Palestinians).

Palestinians having been living in the West Bank for the last 800 years at least, so it should not surprise us that they currently live there. Additionally, numerous Palestinians fled Israel during the Jewish-Arab Engagement in 1947-1949 and many of those Palestinians ended up in the West Bank. As a result, they began to create lives for themselves in the West Bank.
