One terrorist attack was enough for us to invade afghanistan. How many rocket attacks does it take for Isreal to say that obviously Palestinians aren't yet willing to make lasting peace like the Egyptians did?

I think it's you that doesn't have a clue about the situation in Palestine/Israel. The fact you don't know the difference between the West Bank and Gaza tells me everything, and the fact you think it's ok for them to steal land (in a completely different area not even relating to the conflict) confirms that notion.
Can you tell me the last time a rocket attack came from the West Bank?
Notice you don't see Israel stealing Egypt's land. How much peace do you think there will be if Israel starts trying to take land in Lebanon or Egypt?
Here is some more information I suggest you read so you can be informed.

Separate factions
The Fatah faction of the PLO ran the PNA until 2006, when Hamas won a majority in Legislative Council elections. Uneasy co-existence between PNA President Mahmoud Abbas and a Hamas-led government led to violence between armed wings of Fatah and Hamas, culminating in Hamas seizing power in Gaza in June 2007 and President Abbas dismissing the government.

They are supposedly trying to work out a unified government via this deal they agreed to in April, but I don't see it happening really.
