When Israel got out of Gaza, the rockets didn't stop, and the suicide bombings didn't stop. Getting out of Gaza didn't help bring us closer to peace, so people who want both peace and safety are hard pressed to say, "OK, let's just back out of some more territory!!"
Though Israel withdrew from having a presence in Gaza, it has had 100% control (with no negotiation as between two countries) of Gaza's borders with Israel, of Gaza's seacoast, and of Gaza's airspace. And Israel has a lot of influence on Gaza's border with Egypt. So, the Palestinians in Gaza continued to be, literally, prisoners. Since the "withdrawal" Israel has flown many warplanes over Gaza causing severe noise pollution (and psychological trauma) in Gaza, and then Israel wouldn't let any aid in to Gaza.
Also in the West Bank, Israel has proceeded not just to not "back out of some more territory" but to appropriate more and more territory, and to make life untenable for Palestinians there.
So, I'd say it's no wonder that "getting out of Gaza" didn't bring any advancements toward peace.
