Well, since I posed the question to you, more has come up in the press b/c Israel has begun to dismantle some of these outposts.
I read that the head of the settlement communities has a three-pronged strategy of disobedience. One entails fighting this politically within the givernment, the other involves legally appealing this by taking it to their supreme court, and the other involves non-violent civil disobedience.
Now, I realize that most Palestinians don't have the luxury of those kinds of appeals for several reasons (an incompetent self-governance a big part of that), however, I'm beginning to think that many extremist Palestinians could learn a thing or two from the measures being taken by these settlers. Granted, when the IDF roles into Gaza, they probably aren't as cautious and gentle as when they role into a settlement outpost, but I think the actions being taken by these settlers are along the lines of action that many from the more "pro-palestinian" perspective have been hoping we'd see from them.

Was this a stipulation in the peace plan? I've heard nothing of this.
