It sounds reasonable to leave Gaza city, and other areas that are not parts of Jewish ancient land. But why not just build the wall around settlements, and annex that land?

Don't worry, such will happen, I'm convinced. However, more violence will accompany it.

but more violence will accompany anyt choice decision regardless, as the Palestinaisn have not yet given up their goal of destroying Israel. Therefore what you say here adds no explanatory value or insight.

It may be true that Arafat will only accept a one-state solution, but Arafat does not represent the opinions of everyone. Thus, the idea that all Palestinians want to destroy Israel is nothing but a conspiracy theory. While many Palestinians may desire to have a one-state solution, the idea of destroying Israel is so unrealistic that it is unlikely that many people support such.

It is true that some crazy radicals will continue to have the desire to practice mindless violence, but that is where walls along the green line are very effective. There are ways to reduce violence and slowly end it, but settlements and transfer theories are not one of those methods.
