          Seems like the so called “Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign” blocks all IPs from Israel. Hilarious considering the number of Palestinians whose only way to connect to the internet is through Israeli ISPs… Which is either most of them or a very significant number of them. Solidarity, eh?

          Yeah, if I use one it might work, but why would a site block me in the first place? It’s not something a legitimate news site usually does…

            I think the suggestion was that it could be blocked if you were using VPN to access it,.not that it would need a VPN.

              Yeah, perhaps they did. As it happens, I wasn’t using a VPN, but I do pay for one so I tried it. VPN to Germany -> site loaded. VPN to Israel -> same error. They literally just blocked the whole country using cloudflare… The country where most of the people they claim to have solidarity with live, and where presumably they’d want their message to be heard the most. Unless, maybe, it’s just a propaganda site that doesn’t actually care about Palestinians and instead has some other agenda? Hmmm…
