Swing and a miss. Israel fell back a bit in 2005, but a complete withdrawal isn't just the Gaza Strip.

Israel broke UN Resolution 242 in their annexations. Their withdrawal had to do with international pressures, not peace.

And what did Israel do in those times to provoke Palestine? Nothing? Were they building that wall as a decoration, to make the country more Feng Shui?

The demolition is illegal according to the UN Courts. Israel is a member of the UN and is therefore under the jurisdiction of their rulings. The UN can't do anything about it because Israel's big buddy the US sits on the security council, but it's still illegal, along with the wall and other human rights abuses.
BTW, in
this story, and American is run over trying to protect a Palestinian home from being bulldozed. The family in the home was not connected to any terrorists and there hadn't been rocket attacks from the area. She died, btw.
