Hi Manny. I don't think the problem is palestians being stupid IMO it is their islam culture that is the problem.

What I mean is if we take 2 arab palestinian kids and raise one in the USA and one in arafat land there wold be IMO a world of difference between their values when they reach adulthood. The islam culture teaches nothing or very little of the outside free world, kids from this culture are very easy to manipulate as they really have no choice but to believe what their mullahs and islam clerics have taught them.

An Arab kid raised in the USA would be like any other normal healthy American kid...providing of course they have not been raised with and taught values of some of the fanatics who post here. There will always be exceptions to the norm.

Arafat controlled his peoples access to information. He controlled the dialog, and thus what they believed. They are not stupid, they were kept uneducated and uninformed for political gain.
