Good job, tech will makes us free. Besides, I'm pretty sure that if geeks were in charge of both Israel and Palestine, they would just solve their differences on a PvP server, end of story :)

Not in the slightest. This kind of activity (economic activity) is probably the best way possible to deescalate the conflict. Israel has no interest in Gaza, they just want them to stop trying to attack, so if anything this program is for Israel, not against it. If you need evidence for that, then note that even during the worst conflicts Israel kept full communication (Cell and Internet) active in Gaza, which is opp…
We shouldn't normalize the idea that it's acceptable for Israel to control all communication and trade of another state.
Israel could have easily cut the lines and used a jammer.
They didn't.

You have got to be a troll, or did you forget that Hamas attacked Israel? I assume you think Israel should have just ignored that?
> in the 21st century
If the residents of Gaza actually joined the 21 century (for example in programs like what this submission is about) things might be quite different.
> And the best way to do that
You suggest something then.... What would you do with a population that just wants to kill you? Let them do it?
> will love Israel forever.
As if their hate has anything to do with Israel's actions. Seriously, do you not know even the slightest thing about the history of the area?
> What a generous gesture!
What other country leaves the communication of the opponent wide open during a war? Disrupting communication is like class 101 during warfare.
is doing something like this considered a political statement against israel?

not sure if this is a serious statement or not. your tone suggests serious but your words are not serious.

For sure there are two sides to the story and many Palestinians who think differently but Hamas in Gaza does not wish to lead a peaceful life side by side with its neighbors and that has consequences.

Additionally hate for Jews is common in Arab counties that are very far away from, and don't interact with, Israel at all.
There is nothing at all Israel can do to change this. Look at Egypt for example - very long and successful peace treaty. But the populace still hates Jews.
If it's not possible to make an ordinary Egyptian not hate Jews, what makes you think there is any chance for a Palestinian not to?
If you want to change this, first see if you have any success in Egypt.

Gaza has chosen a confrontational attitude with their neighbors Egypt and Israel. When Israel withdrew from Gaza they proceeded to promptly demolish the greenhouses that Israel left (and I believed donors actually purchased for them). Next was lynching their fellow Palestinians who happened to support Fatah rather than Hamas. Tunneling under the borders. Rocket attacks ... For sure there are two sides to the story an…
Do you even realize how difficult it would be for a child to live life normally after their school is destroyed? How do you think such actions will affect young children? If you were one of the children who witnessed the horrors during aerial bombardment, would you ever forget?

Perhaps you don't know that Muslim attacks on Jews long predate the modern state of Israel.

Morocco and Tunisia (my home country) have some of the oldest Jewish populations in the world. As a Tunisian, I am extremely proud to have Jewish brothers and sisters who share my culture. My grandparents (from both sides) had very close friends who happened to be Jewish.
Yes, they have decreased in number over the years, but I think Tunisia has done a good job protecting them. For example, right after the 2011 revolution, the interim government immediately reassured the Jewish community of Djerba that they would be protected.
Also, El Ghriba synagogue in Djerba is one of the oldest in the world AFAIK. I haven't visited it yet though!
