land for nothing

That has been Israel's policy since its inception. In fact, even before its inception. Israel takes land, and the Palestinians get nothing. Your philosophy is classic Zionist claptrap:

"Israel must take Palestinian land, so as to show their strength, to prevent violence."

Only a Zionists fanatic would accept this kind of logic.

since you regard Israel as illegitimate anyway

Can you provide the link to where I said this? Hint: the answer is "no". There are many nationalistic, racist regimes in the world, because our world isn't perfect. They don't need to be nuked, just monitored and disciplined at times. It sure would be nice if "the only democracy in the Middle East" would allow UN monitors into its prisons, to check if the stories of Israeli brutality are true.

Not only would there most likely be less violence if Israel stopped building new settlements and pulled out of existing ones, but Israel would also stand on much firmer moral ground with its brutal responses to Palestinian violence. I don't think moral standing is a big part of Zionism, though.
