1. They can plan their future in Silicon Valley.
Chaim ,   Israel   (05.04.13)
It certainly won't be in Judea and Samaria.
2. "reminiscent of Silicon Valley... women in headscarves"
t f   (05.04.13)
The reporter has clearly never spent time in Silicone Valley or more to the point the high tech companies there. Woman in a head scarf... possibly... women, plural... really not.
3. Israel should make it impossible for the

enemy to prosper. You destroy the economy of your enemy in a war. They are always trying to destroy ours with the b.d.s. and other boycotts. Let them suffer and starve. They are our second biggest enemy after the knesset, If we could rid our liberated territories of palis, then we can vote out th knesset and all will be good for the Jews and the state of Israel.
4. The article is intensely critical of Israel
Zvi   (05.05.13)
but Israelis, from the Peres Center for Peace, to the Netanyahu government, to private entrepreneurs and citizens' groups, have made effort after effort after effort to help the Palestinians to improve their economy, to provide first-rate technology, to help WB businessmen make Israeli connections in technology fields, to foster ties that would see Arab students studying in Israel's Tier 1 technology universities... . And meanwhile , the Abbas PA has made effort after effort after effort to sabotage their own economy and prevent young men and women from benefitting from the things that Israel has tried to offer. The PA has pulled kids out of school to throw rocks at civilian vehicles and kill Israelis. It has sabotaged "collaboration" with Israeli businessmen by anyone not deeply connected with the kleptocrats. It has enforced a rigid, authoritarian culture in which different ideas are squashed. It has espoused terrorism that has forced Israel to close borders. It has attempted to get foreigners to boycott Israel's tier-1 technology universities. And it has spat in the face of Israeli civil society groups that sought to reach out, preferring a genocidal vision of an Israel in ruins.
5. #3. Never before has a state prospered its enemies. Lunacy!
Chaim ,   Israel   (05.05.13)
Churchill rightly set out to make as many Germans homeless as possible and destroy Germany's economy. That is what you do to your enemy. That is how you win wars. The lunatics who run Israel do the opposite. They seek to prosper the "Palestinians", whose dearest wish is to mass murder Israeli Jews. Anti-Semitism is not Israel's real problem. Lunatic self destructive leadership is.
