If settlers and the native Palestinians were living under the same laws and were ruled fairly and equally, there would be no terrorism. Look at Israel - there are Palestinians with Israeli citizenship, and even though they don't have equal rights, they have enough rights to not want to take up arms for their rights. If Israel would've made similar provisions for the people living in the occupied territories there wouldn't have been any reasons for terrorism to occur.

Israeli oppression causes terrorism, equal rights removes the causes for terrorism...
