I have been very much involved with the concept of Israeli-Palestinian economic interaction, in fact I wrote my masters thesis on it.  But you nailed it right on the top of the head with "global eyes."  Global eyes are needed for an independent Palestine to live next to an independent Israel.  For an independent Palestine to have a Jewish minority, just like an independent Israel having an Arab minority.  To further the concept of economic interaction, for the catalyst has already been laid.  The Palestinians do U.S. $3 billion dollars worth of business with Israel.  Israel is the Palestinians largest trading partner.  The Palestinian economy is on the verge of collapse, and if it was a nation-state it would qualify for assistance from the World Bank.  If the Palestinian economy does collapse it will just pull down Israel along with it.  Global eyes are desperately needed.  So swallow that nationalistic pride, because it is just keep those eyes shut.

thanks Basil for opening new space for interaction with others.
Please wash out, that strategically I see the Palestinian Brain Application now within the core of community-production-network as part of social-economic-green-environment. This way I try to define practical approach to design new technological boundaries, which will facilitate building of the Palestinian nation ..

Wael, I looked at your site in Arabic. I have a better understanding of it. I e-mailed a copy of it to a Palestinian friend in Texas who works with IT. I will try to see and have others look at the language in Arabic with me and see if we can come up with a good translation in English. I think you should start very slowly to make sure you're communicating in the right style to the masses. Look, it doesn't matter if they are Palestinians, Americans, Germans, or Swedes, the language as it stands in English as you communicate it is hard for them to understand. We can look at the way you express yourself and translate it, so you can present your ideas properly. Just don't rush. Of course, it's up to you, brother. You do as you wish. I respect your intelligence.
