>>ISRAEL BLOCKS PALESTINIAN ISP
>>For hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, getting to work, school or
>>the
>>market has been virtually impossible since Israel's latest anti-terror
>>campaign began. Now, many won't be able to get online, either. Early
>>Monday
>>morning, Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) troops took over the offices of
>>Palnet, the leading Palestinian Internet service provider, shutting down
>>the
>>firm's operations. The move, which has reduced Internet access to a
>>trickle
>>in the West Bank and Gaza, is part of a larger, intermittent effort by
>>the
>>Israeli military to hobble the Palestinians' communications and media
>>infrastructure. In January, the IDF blew up the Ramallah offices of the
>>Palestinian Broadcasting Corporation, the official voice of the Arafat
>>government.
