I’m having a hard time looking this up through search engines. No shade at all, but I haven’t seen anyone get someone in Palestine to do some traceroutes and understand how genocide data is being routed.
Does anyone know?
I’m trying so hard to claw at the smallest thing I can do to help, is there a person in a network box I can send a bottle wine to so the packets keep flowing?
Great question, very interested to hear the answer if anyone knows. Please mention me, future posters!
I expect the answer to be very different for Gaza and for the west bank.
My best guesses (NOT BASED ON KNOWLEDGE, JUST SPECULATION):
West Bank perhaps can connect to Israeli telecom service providers. I’m guessing that’s what Israeli settlements in the west bank do, so no reason why Palestinian cities wouldn’t do that too.
As for Gaza, again their only telecommunications have to be through Israel. It appears that Israel can literally just stop the internet service (and electricity and water for that matter), and Gaza would be in the dark. The fact that Israel isn’t doing this is a bit of an enigma to me - not because I think they should (I don’t), but because it’s very obvious the the Israeli government thinks it should. Some ministers have literally said as much.
I keep thinking it’s all through Israel, but why not while you kill everyone just shut it off? I want to see traceroutes!!
