Intersperse your rant with the sentence a suicide bomber struck and you will see how wrong you are about how "they" never pulled back. But let us delegimize "they" by ignoring this fact, so we can push our pro-palestine agenda.

The only time they have done any non-trivial "pulling back" was when they did a LandForPeace deal with Egypt

Thus do Oslo 1993 and Lebanon 2000 both drop into the memory hole.

For nine years, the Israelis pulled back from Area A, containing all the Palestinians cities and towns of the West Bank and Gaza, 95% of the 3 million Palestinians, to allow the Palestinian state-in-the-making to form and rule itself. And what did Yasser Arafat do with the opportunity? What government did he form? What projects did he undertake?

Now you don't only dismiss this, you forget it altogether.

Then there is the Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon to the UN approved Blue Line. Not only did they get no peace from this, Hizbullah now invents a new dispute at Shabaa Farms, a claim that not even the UN backs up, to keep the "cause of dispute" going. Hizbullah's example then inspired the intifada.

You forget that too. How convenient.
