Palestinians and the Tunisian Occupation

There is a joke in the West Bank, that they lived through five occupations in the 20th century.

There were the Ottomans, the British, the Jordanians, the Israelis, and the Tunisians.

It is a snide backhand directed at elements of the PLO who resided in Tunisia prior to the Oslo accords.

When you look at the likely players in a post Arafat Palestinian Authority, they are all part of the "Tunisian Occupation" (Ashrawi is just a mouthpiece).

I'm wondering if this might impede any chances for a settlement.

Those people who lived for 25 years under Israeli administration have a very different set if experiences than the current PLO leadership.

The West Bank residents experienced the explosive economic growth of 1967-1992.

They experienced Israeli bureaucracy, which is ponderous and slow, but generally honest, in contrast to the "speed by baksheesh" mode in the Arab world.

This raises a question:  Will it require an additional changing of the guard to get a settlement there?
