Used to be Palestinians could freely travel between the West Bank and Israel. That ended after the First Intifada when general travel permission was revoked. And you needed personal exit permits. After the second Intifada and terrorist attacks the Israeli's build walls around Palestinian areas.

It doesn't feel Palestinian supporters support for solutions via violence and terrorism has had any positive benefit for Palestinians in the west bank and Gaza.

Second Intifada was more than 20 years ago. Violence in the West Bank these days is overwhelmingly Israelis attacking Palestinians, not vice versa.
Every cycle of violence leaves them in a worse position than before.
