About This Document: Google is committing $2 million so far to the Palestinian territory (split almost evenly between the NGO Mercy Corps' efforts to build an entrepreneurial network and a Palestinian venture-capital fund called Sadara Ventures) and making multiple trips a year to teach classes and counsel local entrepreneurs. Because in Palestine, Google sees something few other international companies do: opportunity. Google stands to benefit from whatever is built. Currently less than 1% of the searchable content online is in Arabic. If it grows, Google can sell ads against the new content. This sounds like a fantasy, certainly right now. But this is the way Googlers think -- that technology is more powerful than governments or political strife. It's like a willful decision to ignore political obstruction, a stubborn belief in the power of interconnectivity.
