More of these joint ventures is what is needed amongst the inhabitants of the land. Innovation and team work is the ideal strategy to bridge not only the digital divide, but the physical and socio-economical one.

As a Palestinian American IT business leader, who grew up in the West Bank, I salute these baby steps efforts and I would be proud to join in with others on both sides of the wall/green line to make a contribution.

I had the pleasure of meeting and working with some of best minds on both sides in the late 90`s. That experience had profound change of my "stereotype" views that many still hold, against doing business with Israelis.
