Intifada spurs Palestine internet boom



“The internet, with its ability to transcend borders, distance and government censorship, has become the preferred medium of information exchange for local Palestinians and foreign activists alike. Notable among the online activist initiatives is the site known as The Electronic Intifada. The site has been credited with bringing increased prominence and visibility to the Palestinian cause in the media in recent years”, reports Laila El-Haddad for Al-Jazeera.net
