The Right to Flash is the
initiative of Amir
Dotan (London, UK), Mushon
Zer-Aviv (Tel-Aviv, Israel) and Naim
Kamel (Ramallah, Palestine). It was launched in July 2003 in
order to make sure the middle east, doesn’t get left behind
the development of the internet, believing it to be a powerful
tool for overcoming differences and for new methods of communication.
In the case of Flash both Palestinian users and Israeli users
are united by the similarity of our languages, both unfortunately
left behind by Macromedia’s Flash MX technology.
We believe The Right to Flash is universal and shouldn’t
be restricted by cultures or languages. We look forward to start
speaking Flash in our own languages and to fully use its
potential to make the web all that it can be.
