It was doing quite well along those lines till a certain country invaded it and laid waste.

 

   Palestinians began fighting with  Lebanese Christians in 1975 in Beirut .

Palestinians then attacked Israel in an attack that killed 37 Israelis in Israel.

   Israel retaliated by invading Lebanon in 1978 . The Lebanese war had already been going on for three years before Israel got involved after Israel got attacked

The European Union on Saturday expressed its "grave concern" about the repercussion of the Israeli military operation against Palestinian militants in the northern West Bank.

The 40-day offensive, which has mainly taken place in refugee neighbourhoods, has resulted in numerous deaths, the displacement of around 40,000 Palestinians from their homes, and the "destruction of vital civilian infrastructure," the EU statement said.

EU concerned about ongoing Israeli military operation in West Bank

 The EU urged Israel to take firm action against settler violence against Palestinians in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, and expressed concern about the growing number of army checkpoints in the West Bank which are restricting freedom of movement there and worsening the economic and humanitarian situation.

It's a chicken and egg issue in the west bank. The Hamas and Islamic Jihad  operatives have been active since the start of the Gaza conflict. They attacked civilians and non military targets. The Israeli's responded. The settler community has its faults, but it has been attacked multiple times, so its people get angry that Israel "doesn't protect them" and retaliate.

 

It also serves the political interests of factions opposed to the PLA in the west bank and for the  extremists in the Israeli government. Both thrive on the conflict. Both would be out of a job if the conflict stopped.
