Theres not only the dead, there are also thousands of injured, most of them cannot be fixed or cured do to lack of medical supplies.
After the first 5 weeks of the start of the second intifada, more than 7000 palestinians were injured, more and more everyday by live rounds. Also an increase of head and leg(knees) shots. A fact that was'nt denied by Israeli soldiers who are instructed not to kill for fear of increasing more international opinion against them.

And you want to talk about Arafat being a terorrists, look at Israel past and present prime ministers.
LABOUR (MAPAI) PRIME MINISTER, D. BEN-GURION.
Qualifications: War Criminal. Like Hitler, gave the orders that others carried out.
Ben-Gurion and the Haganah became convinced that they would have to drive the British out if they were ever going to get their state. That required unity within the ranks of Zionism and they proposed a joint military campaign to the Irgun and Stern Gang who, until the autumn of 1945, they had solemnly proclaimed to be terrorists, fascists and madmen. And Begin, who, during the Saison, had put up wall posters comparing them to "Quisling and Laval", eagerly accepted. -- Quote from Haber, Menachem Begin, p.146.
Ben-Gurion was head of the Jewish Agency. After the adoption of the united front against the British, Ben-Gurion directed the terrorist "war" from the shadows. At this time, it was he who gave the "green light" for nearly all Jewish terrorist activity. The public relations disaster caused by the King David Hotel bombing, bought the detente with the Irgun and Stern Gang to an end (the Jewish Agency denounced the attack, claiming that the Irgun had violated its specifications as to when the bomb should be set). After directing the 1948 war to conquer Palestine and drive out its inhabitants, he became Prime Minister. An ideas man. It was his idea to create a civil war in Lebanon in order to establish a Maronite government that would align itself with Israel. Although it was difficult to ignite this civil war, their continual efforts over the years were eventually successful (and hundreds of thousands died). A truly evil man.
LABOUR (MAPAI) PRIME MINISTER, M. SHARRETT.
Qualifications: Close associate of most the war criminals and terrorists mentioned. Believed in the aims of the war criminals, however, differed on the means of establishing those aims. For example, he tried to prevent the Qibia (Kibya) attack (ordered by D. Ben-Gurion and carried out by A. Sharon) fearing that such ruthless attacks (in this case a massacre) might alienate Western opinion.
