How "Digital Discrimination Paypal" shifts the Palestinian economy

Recent highlights:

1. In light of PayPal's exclusionary approach, Palestinians and international human rights groups have renewed a call this week for the global payments giant to stop its digital discrimination that excludes Palestinians in both the occupied West Bank and Gaza from using its service, while making it available to Israeli settlers in the West Bank.

2. But the company has so far refused to allow Palestinians to sign up with addresses in the West Bank or Gaza, while making the service available to customers with Israeli bank accounts, including those based in West Bank settlements – which are illegal under international law and seen by the international community as a major obstacle to a two-state solution
