Funny thing about the statements regarding Shia support groups like Hamas and Hezbelloh. They don't actually support the contention that Palestinians are Shi'a at all. Found this link on askjeeves. 83% of the Muslims in occupied territories are Sunni. i-cias.com

I did. And I do not get the same results as you. Here are some results: From: factmonster.com Israel Judaism 80.1%, Islam 14.6% (mostly Sunni), Christian 2.1%, others 3.2% (1996 est.) Palestinian State (proposed) West Bank: Islam 75% (predominantly Sunni), Jewish 17%, Christian and other 8%; Gaza Strip: Islam 98.7% (predominantly Sunni), Christian 0.7%, Jewish 0.6% From: en.wikipedia.org The Palestinians are a mainly Arabic-speaking people with family origins in Palestine. The Palestinian population is largely Sunni Muslim, with Christian, Druze, and other minorities I have not found any sources that says Pals are Shia. If you have sources, I'd be interested to know.
