...cause and effect. Israel is not occupying Palestinian land and making their lives hell because of terrorism.

Actually it is. Throughout the '90's, Israel and the Palestinians were moving toward peace which included a phased withdrawal to negotiated borders and Palestinian sovereignity and eventual independence within its borders. That process ended due to the Al Aqsa intifada and the violence that has continued since that time.

When you hear complaints about the checkpoints and the wall that is being built, those things didn't always exist. They are an effect and the cause is the terror campaign of recent years. Back in the '90's, vast numbers of Palestinians crossed the border to go to jobs in Israel every day without the tight checkpoints that exist today.

Terrorism really is the cause of the collapse of the peace process and that is its intention.
