I'm palestinian and have family in the West bank and Gaza. What you're saying isn't true at all.

Funnily enough, I also have family in Jordan. Let me tell you, their lives are much better than those under Israeli occupation.

I would appreciate your perspective. I'm sure that many posters here would as well.

Another poster here did mention that the fine article mentions that Mellanox can hire three Palestinians for the price of one Israeli. That is not typical of the Israeli high tech sector. It _is_ typical of some other labour markets, notably building and agriculture.

Note that I'm specifically referring to the West Bank. I'm sure that the situation in Gaza is so much worse that in my worst dreams I cannot imagine it. From where are your family? I'm in Eshkolot, in the south Hebron hills, right next to Al-Ramadin.

I'm in the same position. This person is off their rocker.

Please don't call names. That's a sure way to ignite a tinderbox, and a flamewar will do none of us any good. Scorched earth is all the same.

Even if completely wrong, the GP is pretty clearly posting in good faith (as you are too, I'm sure).

As an alternative, sharing some details of your position would be more interesting and helpful. Only if you want to, of course.
