According to UN statistics, between 1950 and 1965 the number of deaths in Palestine remains stable at about 19,000 per year.
Then, in 1967, Israel takes over........and between 1965 and 1970, the average number of deaths DROPS by 3,000 per year.
Between 1970 and 1975, the number of deaths drops by ANOTHER 2,000 per year..........meanwhile, the population begins a growth spurt.
Nonetheless, Between 1975 and 1980, the number of deaths once again drops by ANOTHER 1,000 per year, as the population grows rapidly......
Between 1980 and 1985, another drop of 2,000 deaths a year, even though the population is booming........and stabilizes at 11,000 per year until 1995.........when it begins to go up slightly. Remember the population these deaths occur in has obviously doubled or tripled.........
Until in 2005 to 2010, the rate is 14,000 per year, despite pitched battles.
Compare death rates: in 1965 - 19,000 out of 1 million people, or 1900 out of 100,000 per year
Compare death rates: in 2010 - 14,000 out of 4 million people, or 350 out of 100,000 per year.
In other words, the DEATH RATE in Palestine was well over FIVE TIMES worse BEFORE Israel took it over.
