Are we talking about the west bank? They have voting right. Both HAMAS and Abas were elected democratically. Keeping saying Apartheid over and over doesn't make it true.
Anyways, hopefully we will see a better age soon and people will live harmony or TAIUSH in arabic.
I was wondering what the OP means by Palestine, is it Israel or Jordan. Both aren't developing countries and both has very successful startup scene. Anyways, if you see it as off-topic I will delete my comments and apologize.
