Of course Israel is violent. The question is whether if Israel standing down would be an effective way to deal with Hamas, and other terrorist groups. Thus far, withdrawing hasn't gotten Israel anywhere. As long as Hamas is training children to be militants the only way to deal with Hamas is to contain them or take them out.

Israeli settlers literally run schools and synagogues. They train their children to be religious from a young age. This isn't a case of free youth choosing to join Judaism. It's a case of indoctrination.
Of course Hamas is violent. The question is whether if Hamas standing down would be an effective way to deal with Israel, and its settlers. Thus far, it hasn't gotten the Palestinians anywhere. As long as Israel is supporting settlers to claim land in the West Bank either through violence or 'administrative' means, the only way to deal with them is to contain them or take them out.
(I hope you've seen what I did there. The sort of one-sided reasoning you put forth here will never solve anything.)
