That's fortunately not how it works. Yes, bad situations make bad decisions more likely, but they don't make them mandatory. Just like the Second World War wasn't the "logical conclusion" to the treaty of Versailles, beheading babies isn't the logical conclusion to closed borders.
You shouldn't forget that the situation of the Palestinians is magnitudes better in the Wesbank. Because they're - more or less- peaceful there.
It actualy makes more (as in still almost none) sense to blame the situation with the settlments on Hamas. If they never started firing rockets Israel would have been sanctioned out of stealing land long ago.
