When you assume that conciliatory efforts will fail, that leaves you with only violence as a method.

It would be conciliatory if Israel stopped the settlement building. It would not be conciliatory for the US to come in and try to impose terms on one or both parties.

And there is ample proof that "violence begets violence".

There is also ample proof that concessions made in response to violence often beget more violence. After all the violence worked once, maybe it will work again.
