Only you need to read some history.
There was no wall before the first intifada.
Terrorism brought that on and has saved hundreds of Israelis lives.
There were no settlements before the arabs started another war in 1967, which Israel won.
And every time Israel has offered concessions and land, or even reduced restrictions, there has been a rapid increase in violence and terrorism.
