The best thing they could do is go protest in the Arab states about how shittily they treat Palestinians in refugee camps and what assholes they are for inflaming the conflict and using Palestinians as their cats-paw.

This is the largest problem with the narrative of Palestine vs. Israel that is generally presented by the media. They ignore that even if Palestine elected a government that declared peace with Israel, the rest of the Arab states would probably try to topple that government— they like things just the way they are. Having Israel to blame all of their problems on helps them keep control of their shitty, semi-theocratic countries.
