What percentage of the Israeli population was killed during the Arab-Israeli War of 1948?

To put this in perspective, the only time the United States exceeded a 1% fatality percentage in any war it has ever fought was during the US Civil War because both sides are counted.

Generally, people justify the acts of any government based on the powers they have accorded that government and their general needs as a society. Without specifying exactly what Israelis have to justify it's unclear what rationales to provide. The Israeli government does all kinds of things such as oversee the religious life-cycle laws and support a quasi-Millet system, maintain local provinces and proper voting procedures, sustain the education system that teaches Jews and Arabs in their native languages, constructs highways and public transportation that are sometimes controversial, plumbs oil-fields in the Mediterranean such as the Tamar fields, deals with issues of increasing religious presence in the Knesset and increasing male/female segregation, the Israeli housing crisis in 2010-Present, and, of course, the policy in the Occupied Palestinian Territories and general foreign policy.
