Palestine - West Bank

http://www.odci.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/we.html

Geography question:

What geographic liabilities does the Palestinian West Bank have that make statehood difficult? Are there geographic assets it possesses for statehood? What are these liabilities and assets? What do they portend for the future of a Palestinian state?




Demographics question:

What does the age structure of the West Bank’s population suggest about the future of Palestinian politics? Why?




Comparison question:

If the West Bank is "slightly smaller than Delaware," how does its population compare to Delaware’s? (The Census Bureau’s summary of data for Delaware is available at http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/10000.html.)




What data about the West Bank suggest that, in comparison to Delaware, it’s more difficult for the West Bank to support its population? how does that situation affect the West Bank’s potential sovereignty?
