They've had Gaza for the past six years to test out self rule. We can make a determination of how well it might work from that. The West Bank has Fatah, a watered down version of the PLO, which is also mostly under self rule. Even if they got their own state tomorrow, they don't have a strong enough leadership to work with the Israelis and make compromises on both sides for a peaceful non-aggresive lifestyle. The Palestinian people want it, but their leaders are spending too much time posturing. Thus your question is not a simple with or against situation.

They should have their own state. Too bad it will be funded by fanatic Islamacists (sp?) out of Saudi Arabia as part of the Forever War.

I happen to believe that the Palestinian people could do business with the Jews without problems if the rival nutcases just let the people be.

They can take the same route that Israel did. Declare and win it in War or persuade the UN to recognize it via settlement with Israel. Neither for nor against them declaring it.

If the West Bank and Gaza become an independent nation, you won't hear much protest from me.

However, I have a sneaking suspicion that it will not be a viable nation and will result in a dictatorship that will blame all the nation's faults on Israeli and there will be a medium scale war between the two every few years.

Connecting the West Bank and Gaza into a single entity would need to be resolved in this initiative, not a very easy thing to do.
