Most Palestinians and Jordanians I have met, while  stridently Sunni, even abrasively so. Aren't really all that into Wahhabist/Salafism.

Though they may sympathize with those in the movement who do actively stand up to the West.

Israeli Arabs - 2%?
West Bank - ~10%
Gaza: 20%?

Opposition to Israel was historically driven on either Pan-Arab Nationalism and Socialism or a mixture of the two.

From a Muslim person I knew who lived in Saudi Arabia in the mid-1990s:

I first heard the name of Usama bin Laden in 1996 at the home of a Saudi friend of mine. He showed me a magazine article featuring bin Laden and said in Saudi Arabia he was referred to as ‘’Sheikh Mujahid” because he was a pious man who was also a warrior for Islam.
