    the settlers are an unpopular minority in Israel

    if a "wall" could guarantee no violence the palestinians would have their own state tomorrow, well maybe the day after. US support for Israel would NOT continue if REAL PEACE were openly rejected by Israel. It is true that the Israeli right has played lots of games over the years to prevent just this outcome, but the arabs probably could have managed it without their help.
