You know, it's that big ugly building beside Mike's Place - the American embassy.
Below you will find the information about the websites of Palestinian Islamic Jihad, which are all back online now, and still mostly in the United States.
As our encounter with US company Network Solutions indicated, someone in the US government apparently thinks keeping Palestinian terrorist websites online is a good idea.
This is not a new situation. Elements of the US government have been trying to keep the websites of Palestinian terrorist organizations online consistently over the last four years. In the end, the public pressure builds up, the agency in question walks away denying any involvement, and the hapless cooperating service providers are left to suffer the bad publicity.
Same sh*t, different day.

It's not necessary for the United States to shut down web sites (and in any event they can't). But they *can* allow service providers to shut down sites and disable domain names, instead of the current "policy" of encouraging service providers to ignore complaints and keep such sites online in a single location for no particularly good reason.
