Israel ended occupation of S.Lebanon in 2000 and later that year offered what Clinton called a very credible peace deal. Israel also ended all settlement and occupation activity in Gaza 2005. The para-military leadership in both Lebanon and the Palestinian territories saw all that as a sign of Western weakness and figured that if they ratcheted up terror attacks, they could attain more. You have zero evidence pointing to the fact that if Israel just offered more, all problems would be solved. The facts show you are completely wrong. The citizens of Israel have no reason right NOW to believe that by doing more (unilaterally) they will be left alone in peace.
