I'm not sure why Boaz chose those two sites as examples of disrupted Web 
servers in Palestine.

A traceroute shows pna.net is hosted by Chicago-based Hostway Corporation, 
while www.palestine-info.com is on a server operated by OLM in Milford, 
Connecticut.

However, a quick check of sites in Palestine's top-level domain (.ps) 
*does* show massive outages. Just about anything ending in gov.ps is 
unreachable (to me, anyway).

Palestine's government portal *was* here: http://www.gov.ps/ . Google's 
cache: http://216.239.39.100/search?q=cache:epjC_bWgfsQC:www.gov.ps&hl=en

Incidentally, most of the sites that come out on top from a Google of 
"Palestine" appear to be functioning fine. I didn't check them all, but 
most of them are also hosted in the USA or UK. E,g, palestine-net.com and 
palestinechronicle.com, and palestinedaily.com.

FWIW, Alldas.org has recorded zero defacements of .ps domains, and 411 of 
.il. (I think ICANN only delegated .ps in year 2000.)

Boaz,

I have been in correspondance with Adilah Laïdi, the director of the 
Sakakini Cultural Center in Ramallah, after an appeal from her and the kids 
there she sent on March 31.

As there were too many people asking for info by e-mail, they set up a 
first site 
<http://www.intertech-pal.com/siege>Http://www.intertech-pal.com/siege , 
which is now down too. But they also set up a second site that still works 
<http://www.alnakba.org/siege/>http://www.alnakba.org/siege/ . But I don't 
know who the providers of each are.

There is now another address for the electronic intifada that works 
<http://electronicintifada.net/new.html>http://electronicintifada.net/new.html 
for the time being.
