I received the following email from a reader: Shalom!Heh.
I am trying to access your site from the IST airport in Turkey and get this message:
Bu siteye erişim mahkeme kararıyla engellenmiştir.
In other words, access is blocked.
You must have done something right to p*ss them off.

I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004. You can contact me at: IsraelMatzav at gmail dot com

Turkish readers have noted similar problems accessing Barry Rubin's website.
I guess Turkey's Islamist regime doesn't want Turks to learn about the other side of life in the Middle East.
If they've banned Israel Matzav, well that says more about them than it does about him or for that matter about Israel.
Barry updated his post. Though the AKP is intimidating journalists, this doesn't appear to be part of this effort.

Goes to show what we are dealing with here...
The blocking of pro-Israel websites does not surprise me, but why are Israelis still visiting Turkey? Turkey has said "F*ck you Israel" in more than a hundred ways since Erdoğan took power and is actively involved with our enemies like Iran and Syria. We really should not be supporting them by flying and staying there unless its because a non-Turkish airline stops there (in which case you are still indirectly funding them through airport fees to the airline).
