Hamas to block porn sites

Gaza government's ministry of communications announces that starting September it will block access to pornographic websites in bid to 'protect fabric of society'
Elior Levy



The ministry of communications of the Hamas government in Gaza announced on Thursday it would block access to pornographic websites starting in September, the Ma'an news agency reported.
Gaza communications minister Osama al-Issawi explained that the move was meant to protect Palestinian society and preserve the fabric of society in the Gaza Strip.

I find it interesting that a hell hole of life, strangled by Israel, unable to provide basic services, and apparently according to the UN, unlivable by 2020 or something like that, has TEN Isps?

Hamas blocking porn isn't surprising, young men need to have that pent up sexual energy after, but again 10 ISPs?

Perhaps the conditions in Gaza are not as bad as we have been lead to believe?

ISP doesn't have to be a big telecoms company. It could be just a guy with computer knowledge keeping some hardware in his basement and seling it locally.

I'm pretty sure Gaza is a paradise and Hamas has just been trying to cover it up, Phier.

10 is an extremely low number . My neighbourhood alone has 7 local ISP's .

And pretty much this ...

Ontario has like 6 of any significance...two of them comprise probably 95% of the market.

Jesus Phier it's not the stone age. Internet access isn't something restricted to the USA you know. Do you have a political point, or do you want to say everything's fine because Gaza has internet access?

And here the UN was saying it was going to take another 8 years before it was unliveable. Looks like they were off by about 7 years and 11 months....

This reminds me of the rather well stocked Gaza markets which then certain types of people will counter as being "unaffordable". Obviously these people don't understand how markets work.

Do you even realise the Siege of Gaza has ended?

Source that your picture actually is a picture of Gaza?

If you're in the mood to discuss actual sources we can discuss the Red Cross blaming "chronic malnutrition" in Gaza on Israel during the Siege:

That's London's Sunday market in Enfield.
This Is not GAZA
I think Bananas are illegal in the middle east as they look like penis ?

How do you know?

Ah, so they can feed themselves, that's why they are still alive...

But you can't explaina way a decade shorter life expectancy or the four times higher child mortality rate.

So all that will be left of the Internet in Gaza is one site asking what the hell happened to the rest of the internet?

[MathiasOfAthens]

Why are they just now getting around to blocking porn?

[DarthLazy]

Google image search on that is interesting .

Pure right-wing/zionist blogs...

So. They have the internet. Does this mean they don't need food any more?

They probably need the internet to put in orders for their food...

[MathiasOfAthens]

Pretty sure the blockade was on building materials and not food. Pretty ed up if we blocked food from entering Gaza dont you think? That would be a siege.
