I would not be too sure about the ability of the Palestinians to mount any effective revolt against Israel.. They depend entirely too much on the continued existence of Israel to exist for themselves. Thus far they have not shown any ability to organize an effective and productive government and any revolt against Israel will only leave them in a limbo that they will not how to deal with. In any case they will only be devoured by the elements of extremist Islam and any aspirations they might have had as a people will inevitably die still born.
