The irony is, that by now the palestinians could be rich, if they would have poured all in education and becoming basically a programming offshore nation for israel. You can not destroy code and if you are industrious, you can IP buyout even your enemies. Singapor comes to mind.
But for the traditional players, eternal conflict is the bread and butter buisness. So here we are.

- edanm 4y agoI think that's being very optimistic. The Palestinians are living in pretty bad conditions, overall. While there have been many efforts to integrate Palestinian programmers into Israeli companies, it's a very uphill battle for all sorts of reasons. I'm not saying the Palestinians (or at least some of their leaders) haven't done a bunch of stupid stuff, including putting money into terrorism instead of investing it in the community. I'm just not sure that had they acted very differently, the situation would for sure be better for them.
