I don’t know for what reason but requests to Israeli government homepages are blocked somewhere inside the network of the israeli company www.bezeqint.net.

There is a reason why the stereotype of the Nigerians scamming mentality exists and close to the Nigerian/Cameroonian border, to see how people not only check their email in the internet cafes but do their scams, and they do it successfully, is somehow impressive.
But probably it’s not reason enough the Israeli government or the providers block requests from this country.

Interesting to see a government not only blocks traffic from inside the country to sites with specific content but prevent other countries to access their government homepages. Not a nice diplomatic gesture …
