"But the thing is, it *doesn't* stop. Most of the time it just pisses off their enemies even more so that when they get the opportunity they strike harder than before. Peace cannot be forced and Israel is a bully who insists it's their way or the highway. And they do this knowing the US won't do anything real to stop them."

The statistics after the construction of the security fence say otherwise. The west complained and still complains about the Israeli security barrier, and yet attacks in the West Bank are at all time low because of it.

I know people who claim the source is biased, but can anyone come up with another source which shows that attacks increased or even stayed at the same level?

On the other hand after the Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon in 2000, Hizballah immediately commenced their attacks on northern Israel (and the Lebanese 'government' did nothing to stop it). After the withdrawal from Gaza in 2006, Hamas commenced their attacks on Israel.

"it has ever known. Even Netanyahu said so when he was PM circa 1998 or so. There were ZERO suicide bombings in 1999. It was only when the Palestinians realized that Oslo was a sham designed to lull them into a false sense of security while the Israelis built all those Jewish-only settlements and bypass roads throughout the occupied territories that things started to get ugly."

This is incorrect. 120 suicide bombings took place in the years prior to the Second Intifada, from1994-2000. More Israelis were killed by Palestinian terror in the 5 years after Oslo than in the 15 years prior to the agreement.
