An intelligent committed band of pals can change things. If the eco condition can materially change, there is far more chance of success. The economic condition can never change with the current bunch of gangsters in charge. Their raison d'etre is jihad and prosperity is their enemy. Nothing easier than banishing it. For any kind of prosperity to exist, the Palestinian territories have to export agricultural products and other manufactured goods. For that the crossings have to stay open. But the crossings are closed most of the time. Why? Because the Palestinians blow them up when they are open. Just try to google how many times Karni Crossing from Gaza into Israel has been blown up. And it's not just into Israel, Rafah crossing into Egypt is closed too, for a similar reason - the Pals have tried several times to storm it to take control of the border. So no prosperity, and no money except what flows into Gaza as welfare from the UN, the Euros, the NGOs, the Saudis and Iran. But Hamas can control most of that so that's fine and dandy by them. They can also whine about how bad economic conditions are, and the BBC will faithfully report it - using Palestinian stringers, of course, since they don't want any more kidnapped reporters.
