Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

The event sequence that you call "response to Israel's colonial violence" is imaginary.
◈ Yes, there is violence.
Who started the violence is a "HE said → SHE said" question. What we do know is this:
◈ Israel, by agreement with Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO), has a presence in Area "C."
◈ The agreement includes full civil authority (as in the Civil rights) and full area security responsibilities (all common measures necessary to achieve Article 43 HR).
◈ Known is that President Mahmoud Abbas signed the Oslo I Accord (1993) that included the agreement that disputes arising out of the Accords shall be resolved by negotiation. The HoAP reject this notion.
◈ Known is that the Hostile Arab Palestinians (HoAP) have adopted a policy that armed resistance to Article 43 HR Authority and generally consider armed struggle as the principle solution to any Israeli-Palestinian dispute.
◈ We know the HoAP policy does not comply with the Accords and that the policy itself is not in compliance with:
◈ S/RES/1515 (2003) needed to achieve a comprehensive, just and lasting peace in the Middle East
◈ Does not reflect the appropriate actions under the Declaration of Principle for International Law and Friendly Relations.
◈ That armed action, taken in contravention to the peaceful intent, is in contradiction to the purpose of the Conventions.
◈ HoAPs who commit any offense intended to harm the Israeli forces operations under Articles 42 and 43 of The Hague Regulation, including the occupying forces or administration, or inflicting damage to the property of the occupying forces or administration or the installations used by them, shall be liable to internment or simple imprisonment under the Geneva Convention.
◈ The redeployment to specific locations will be implemented → commensurate with the need for public order and internal security.
The status of the observable measures to peace are not in evidence when you look at the intent of that signed by Mahmoud Abbas. However you frame the issues, dispute resolution through peaceful measures is the objective. However, the HoAP:
◈ Refuse to promote the realization of the right of self-determination includes the Israelis.
◈ The HoAP oppose the concept that "No one shall be held guilty of any criminal offense on account of any act or omission which did not constitute a criminal offence, under national or international law, at the time when it was committed."
◈ Actively encourage propaganda.
◈ Teach and advocate national and religious hatred openly in UN funded schools. These implanted ideas are for the distinct generational transmission that incite hostility and violence.
Everything the HoAP does, that you claim is in response to Israeli violence is actually covered in the policies, charters, covenants and principles found in HoAP fundamental guiding concepts, many of which were formulated long before the Six-Day War.
