Another story in the media about our friends at Startup Weekend and their recent event bringing Israelis and Palestinians together to create businesses. 
This one showed up on The Street: 

Last weekend, 145 Israelis and Palestinians gathered at the Peres Center for Peace in Jaffa, putting aside political differences for the purpose of entrepreneurial brainstorming.
“Our primary mission is educating entrepreneurs,” says Nager, who’s based in Seattle. “In our experience, money, while necessary in some cases, is not the critical component in the earliest stages. Just taking that first step is really the biggest roadblock.”

Startup Weekend will be running dozens of events during Global Entrepreneurship Week. Stay tuned for a list of cities and countries.
