Not during the war they weren't.....
And here's a little tidbit from Faisal Husseini, spoken in December, 2000:
Faisal Husseini - Palestinian Minister For Jerusalem: "We Will Decide If Israelis Get A State"
Ha'aretz Services, December 6, 2000
Palestinian Minister for Jerusalem Faisal Husseini has said the Palestinians are waging a war of independence that will end only when the last Israeli settler leaves the territories, and that when Palestinians become a majority in the Holy Land, they will decide whether to allow the Jews to have a state, Israel Radio reported on December 5.
It quoted Husseini as saying that the clashes in the territories are not another intifada, or uprising, but a war of independence that will end only when the last Israeli leaves land captured in the 1967 Six-Day War.
Husseini also said that in another few dozen years the Palestinians will constitute a majority in the area, and that it will be they who will decide whether to grant Israelis a state, if Israel continues with its present policies.
