As Bluesman said, if your reasoning for terrorism is "occupation" then why was there terrorism before 1967? Obviously flawed logic.
And most Palestians do want nothing short of the destruction of Israel. How do we know? They elected a government to represent them that isn't willing to consider recognizing Israel, that has a goal of completely eliminating Israel from the face of the earth, and that views all ceasefires as purely temporary, until the time that they are powerful enough to in fact wipe Israel out.
Even the most trusted so termed "moderate" negotiation partner, Abu Mazen, wrote his graduate thesis on how the Holocaust never happened. Even this "moderate' says in English that he's all for the peace process, and then turns around in Arabic and tells his follower not to worry, that Jerusalem will still be their for the taking by the time any deal is signed.
There is only one thing standing in the way of the Palestinians getting themselves an independent state: the Palestinians.
