Hamas website hamas.ps is hosted on CloudFlare in San Francisco CA. I'm sure @LegInsurrection and @ShuratHaDin can do something about it

Here's a job for my friend Dr. Rusty Shackelford. While presenting the full story of the Islamic Jihad Kindergarten graduation that I wrote about on Tuesday, MEMRI reports that the website of the Islamic Jihad's al-Quds Brigade is hosted in San Francisco, California. It should be noted that the Al-Quds Brigades website is http://saraya.ps/index.php?act=Show&id=21479, which is hosted by CLOUDFLARE in San Francisco, CA. MEMRI was able to pinpoint the server's location to San Francisco through a variety of techniques, including determining the site's IP address.Maybe Rusty can shut that one down.

When I first saw this story on Twitter about Ben Gurion Airport's free internet access blocking certain web sites, it sounded like they were only Leftist web sites. That is not the case. Ben Gurion Airport is an equal opportunity blocker. Netanel Davidi, CEO of the Altal information security company, said the filtering system "can trace sites with offensive content and block access to them, after users worldwide mark and categorize them. The system also blacklists hostile sites and prevents access to them."But it's not just Peace Now and Breaking the Silence that are blocked. It's also Legal Forum for the Land of Israel and World Headquarters to Save the People and Land of Israel. Hey - there's no fundamental right to access any web site from any public place. Ask the US government, which also blocks some sites from its premises.
"The general instructions to 012 is to allow free surfing to all except bandwidth-heavy sites that stream video, music and the like. This is to enable most passengers to surf uninterruptedly. Porn and gambling sites have also been blocked, as is customary," IAA said.
It added that 012 is using a technological filtering device that "categorizes controversial sites."
The IAA said it would examine the goings on and make changes if necessary.
012 refused to comment due to customer confidentiality.
"The IAA is responsible for what takes place within its boundaries and cannot shift responsibility onto some provider," said Breaking the Silence director Dana Golan.
"This is an extremely absurd and stupid policy, because whoever wants to block Internet access to people at an airport will ultimately have to consider preventing them from traveling abroad," Golan added.
Peace Now secretary general Yariv Oppenheimer said "it's regrettable that people leaving Israel should be made to feel as though they were leaving China or North Korea. Only backward countries bar Internet sites expressing political opinions."

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
