Israeli Blogger Reports on Settler ‘Goons’ in Hebron. His Blog Gets ‘Locked’ Down

Jeremiah Haber, the Magnes Zionist, has an amazing post here on a trip to Hebron after two years. All tunnels and walls, he says, and worse than when he saw the religious colonialists’ outpost two years ago (when I also saw it). He was followed by a settler “goon,” parodying a human rights activist by filming Haber’s little delegation. Also says you can’t see Bethlehem from the road because of the wall. A pity. Bethlehem was once linked visually with Jerusalem. After he did this post, Haber found that his blog had been “locked” by his host, blogger, for being a “spam blog.” He couldn’t post to it as a result. One suspects that his opponents in Israel so flooded the blog with spam as to cause its lockdown. I hope this falls into the category of vandalism/harassment, not official censorship. Jerry has set up his blog at a new temporary url: here.
