Scaling the Wall in Ramallah
by Greg Burke

Clever graffiti on the barrier wall between Israel and the West BankOne of the hot-button issues in recent years between Israelis and Palestinians has been the wall separating Israel from the West Bank. In some places it’s quite an imposing structure, so it’s interesting to see a start-up company that can pretty much pretend like the wall’s not there, launching an Israeli-Palestinian joint venture.
The company is called Ghost, or actually G.ho.st, an acronym that stands for Global Hosted Operating System, and has offices in both Ramallah and the Israeli town of Modin.
Along with producer Ibrahim Hazboun and cameraman Chris Jackson, I visited both sides of the barrier to talk with the Ghosts. It’s not so much that they’re scaling the wall in Ramallah; they’re just passing right through it.

With all the bad news that is coming
out from Israel regarding the Gaza Offensive, it would be worthy to
note that there are people in Israel working towards peace and a
harmoneous co existance between the Israeli and Palestinians. One
such company is G.ho.st or the Global Hosted Operating System.




G.ho.st is a collaborative company
meaning that G.ho.st relies heavily on its partners to provide the
outstanding technology and services that G.ho.st delivers to its
users. G.ho.st partners with its users, with Web-based service and
software providers, with developers and with hosting companies.


Collaboration is at the heart of what G.ho.st does.
The G.ho.st team is itself a rare Palestinian-Israeli collaboration.
Ghosts go through walls and the very first wall that G.ho.st goes
through is the 425 mile wall that Israel has built in the West Bank
between itself and the Palestinians and which physically divides the
G.ho.st team into two. However the Internet and collaboration between
human beings transcends all physical boundaries.
