i'm not convinced it's this simple, i think that if you look at the recent lebanon conflict last summer with israeli fighter planes and NATO ships nearly shooting at each other, you may see that many israelis don't want ANY foreign nationals hanging around at all.
there's definitely agendas within israel that do not want witnesses to what is going on.
barry chamish, my favourite israeli conspiracy theorist (israel's violent political scene makes MANY conspiracy theorists...), has for a long time been warning that the end of israel will include foreign (vatican) troops, i wouldn't call his view a dominant one but many people there seem to think that foreign troops are not the answer in any case.

the nature of peoples' lives in the occupied territories makes for violence-infused politics, also international assistance comes in the form of weapons shipments and that further radicalizes things.
fatah has been receiving US support for years, and there's a lot of evidence that israel and the US were behind hamas in the late 1980s as a hedge against arafat.
regardless of whether or not israel has directly supported islamic terror on purpose or whether it's rogue elements within mossad that aren't trying to protect the israeli people, it doesn't seem to matter - the policy of balkanization is clearly at work here. palestinian paramilitary organizations are to a very high degree infiltrated and in many cases controlled by israeli intelligence and/or arab countries that have both their own reasons to keep things stirred up, or keep palestine in total chaos.
this policy of balkanization is being implemented in iraq, and efforts are underway to implement it in iran.
