If Palestinians stopped trying to kill Israelis, then their human rights would improve. There is also some collective punishment that goes on, partly for the security reason that it is difficult to determine a terrorist from an innocent civilian because Palestinian terrorists try to blend in with the rest of Palestinian society, and partly because Israel becomes frustrated when the Palestinians who engage in murder and terrorism are cheered on by most of the rest of the Palestinians.
