I don't have precise measurements of popularity of Palestinians' Wikipedia participation. It's not zero - there is a considerable number of user pages in the Arab Wikipedia with userboxes that say "this user lives in Israel" or "this user lives in Palestine"; at least some of them actually demonstrated it in their edits (i can read Arabic a little). I emailed all of them and got no reply.
Have you try reaching the people in

?
Yes, some of them, but i'll try a few more. Thanks for poking.
