"isn't there the alternative of stopping the expansion and giving them control back of their land?"theoretically, yes.
but from a security standpoint, you can't give them control if you're in your right mind.
there's a precedent and that was pulling out of gaza. sharon dismantled all settlements, removed settlers by force. after that, when they had the control, gaza authorities used every control it had to escalate further, to attack israel only harder. that's why israel had to take control back step by step, via closing borders, establishing blockade and so on. culminating in the current situation. giving in only worsens the situation as long as there are radicals in charge, radicals just don't know when to stop. they do not want to enhance conditions for their people, what they want is to fight israel, regardless of the human cost, regardless of living conditions. so giving in is not an alternative, as long as the gaza leadership is on the current course.
however, the expansion of settlement and harassment by settlers in the west bank is very wrong in my opinion. israel should stop that, I don't see any justification for that.
however, this particular injustice is still not something that is worth sacrificing your own children for. fatah and westbank palestinians seem to see it the same way (for now).
