This answer doesn't make any sense: people decided to go work for israeli companies, but pressure of activists from US and Europe made them lose their jobs.
The Palestinians are a different country. In South Africa they are all one country so they have to work together.
In contrast with Palestinians it's a different country entirely, so when you prevent them from working, you have little effect on Israel at all, you just hurt the Palestinians.
Well, no. Some black areas in South Africa (and South West Africa under South Africa's occupation) were converted into notionally internally self-governing regions, but of the twenty (10 each in South and South West Africa), only 10 (4 in South Africa, 6 in South West Africa) were ever even nominally (that is, according to the South African government -- no other government recognized any of them) independent states, and, in any case, there were a lot of black areas in South (and South West) Africa that were not part of either these "homelands", whether the notionally independent ones are otherwise.
(Now, in 1970, all of the black people of South Africa, whether they lived in the "homelands" or not, were assigned citizenship in one of them and had their South African citizenship cancelled. But that doesn't mean that the "homelands" covered all the black areas.)
I would be pretty surprised if you can find even one example. Heck, I'd be surprised if you can even find an example of a software engineer living in Gaza that has ever worked for an Israeli company at all.
Or, perhaps, an example of someone living in Gaza attending an Israeli university (they can't).

Cause that's what I thought we were talking about?

Maybe. The narrative of the thread seemed to have moved to Palestinians working for Israeli companies in general. Sorry if I misunderstood.

There's a big clue in that name.

Yes — Gaza citizens wanted independence, and they got it, with everything that goes along. I'm pretty sure that there are PA citizens learning in israeli universities though, especially Ariel.
Ariel is probably the worst example you could have chosen. Palestinian residents of the West Bank are not allowed to enter the settlement of Ariel that Ariel University is in, so that seems unlikely. I'm pretty sure there are zero PA citizens enrolled at Ariel.
I would not be surprised if there are zero PA citizens enrolled at any Israeli universities, I'm not 'pretty sure' there are zero, but pretty sure there are very very few if any, and possibly zero or nearly so. (see for example http://www.richardsilverstein.com/2009/05/28/banning-palesti... http://gisha.org/press/1033 )
The suggestion that Gaza residents have obtained "everything that goes along with independence" is too ridiculous to say much more about.
