"Bitter Fruit"

From Bad to Unthinkable - Mortimer B. Zuckerman

Hardly anyone in Israel thinks that if it decides to give up territory again, it would get peace in return. Tendering olive branches of the kind so often advocated by Israel's critics has borne nothing but bitter fruit.

Israel left Lebanon, and Hizbullah made war. Israel left Gaza to the Gazans and was rewarded with more rocket attacks.

Yeah, until something else changes, it does not appear that giving up land is what is most needed. Until the Palestinians focus on themselves, and other Arab groups focus on the Palestinians instead of Israel's existence, it appears that very little will matter there.
