Title:Silvienne - A bleak future

Sorry to disappoint you, but the people you refer to are plain Arabs. To date, there aren`t any independent "Palestinians" in the West-Bank and Gaza, and the future is bleak.

Look at it: places like Egypt, Jordan, Saudi-Arabia, Syria are all run by tyrants. None of these countries have basic human rights. Whether it is because of stupidity or because of Islam, nobody knows, but the Arabs have yet to show an ability to manage a free society.

Why should Gaza and West-Bank Arabs be any different? For what magical reason should they succeed in creating something other Arabs have always failed to make? So, don`t hold your breath!
