I’m curious how Palestinian people live. I’d like to see the condition of their dwellings, infrastructure and resources eg water, roads, rail, ports, public spaces. I just want to get a feel for the place, like I can almost everywhere else. How can I do that?

Come and visit. As far as I understand, foreigners do not have much trouble visiting the West Bank.

Not much trouble slipping into Palestine for a foreigner, but you do get interrogated on your way out of Israel right at the airport and if you say you went to the occupied territories you may get sent to the little room for further questioning, search or seizure of your belongings, notebooks, laptop, phone, etc. You might also get put on a list for secondary screening or outright ban if you want to go back. So think it though if you want to go to Palestine -- it is indeed considered a theatre of military operations by the occupying power

Street View is available in the West Bank area, for example in Ramallah and Jericho

How would Gaza compare with Ramallah and Jericho?
