If you were facing an expansionist nation who is year-on-year taking your land no matter how "calm" things seem to be, it might be difficult to convince you to put down your arms, or to stop supporting those who are fighting.
There have been many periods of relative calm ever since Oslo, yet Israel has continued to take, expand, and expel.
