At least 280 Palestinians were killed by Israelis in 2021. With a population of ~5,000,000, that alone accounts for 5.6 deaths per 100k lives.
Here's a list of those killed: https://israelpalestinetimeline.org/2021deaths/ https://israelpalestinetimeline.org/2021deaths/. Pay special attention to all the women and children.

Here's Golda's famous quote again, study it, maybe you'll change: “When peace comes we will perhaps in time be able to forgive the Arabs for killing our sons, but it will be harder for us to forgive them for having forced us to kill their sons. Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate us.” ― Golda Meir,

Would you not consider that an example of crime that should be accounted for? And the falseness of that distinction is exactly my point. Nobody watches their baby get murdered and says "Well at least it was at the hands of a government agent! My country is still a very safe place to live!". Yet if you were to believe those stats that's exactly what they're claiming: deaths at the hands of government agents "don't count" when considering the safety of an area.
