"Stop rocketing Israel and there would be no violence at all."
Depends on how you define violence
The forcible removal of people from their homes using chemical sprays, armed soldiers and police is violent
The prevention of fisherman going about their trade using military vessels is violent.
The act of preventing people going about their daily lives with military checkpoints is violent
The use of soldiers to facilitate evictions to make room for settlers is violent.
Over the last few weeks protesters have been killed and wounded by police and soldiers for opposing what is going on - violence.
Violence in one form or another has become a part of Palestinian life for several decades
How about proposing that all these things stop, the blockade ended and the walls removed - that will do for a start
What you are proposing is the Palestinians throw down their arms and come out with their hands up
That is not a solution - it is a surrender to a terrorist State.
"Peace and prosperity would replace death and Destruction."
Just like it was before "Arbeit Macht Frei"
