The bottom line is that the settlement building needs to not only stop but redact to some semblance of previously held borders if there is to be any beginning of a meaningful peace process. By that fact, Israel, is entirely the master of this destiny and is solely responsible for this policy. No amount of terrorists, they hate us, etc. arguments can draw away from that. The fact that Israel is at this point completely unwilling to evaluate it's current policy on settlement building is an implication of their commitment to a peace process at all.
