Angry Arab banned in Iran

Kristen, a correspondent in the Middle East sent me this (I cite with her permission):  "I am in Iran and am highly annoyed that I can freely read the websites of WINEP, the Ariel Center for Policy Research, One Jerusalem, the Jerusalem Summit, the Middle East Forum, and the Endowment for Middle East Truth -- and I can even make donations to AIPAC, the Zionist Organization of America, the Israel Project, and the Emergency Committee for Israel, which are all accessible, but I cannot access the Angry Arab News Service, which is blocked. Perhaps if your posts were more Zionist they would get past the censors here."

PS Jonathan sent me this:  "I am half-Iranian and was in Iran this Summer and whilst there is much wrong with the Iranian government/regime, i can assure you their banning of your website is not one of them; all blogspot sites are censored. If your friend tries to access it via the .net address she will encounter no such problems."
