For Arabs living in Europe it is much more normal to be in contact with "local"
programmers, in my opinion. (Shortly after the first announcement in April I got
an Email from inside Germany asking if Palestinians in Germany count - the
sender is programmer and has Palestine friends, who ask for asylum in Germany.)

I don't want to encourage brain drain for Palestine. And a price winner from
within Israel - say with computer chess education from Bar Ilan University -
might be a good signal for other Palestinians.
