[Chapter-delegates] Internet Shutdown in Gaza : Request for ISOC's Position

[borka at e5.ijs.si]

Hi,

Internet is for everyone - this is the main slogan of Internet Society.
The shut down of the technical infrastructure of the  internet in Gaza 
happened  after Isreal army bombed Gaza for several weeks. Internet 
society should provide support and launch actions the inrastructure of the 
internet to become 
again operational and Palestinan to get again access to the internet 
infrastructure. It is so simple, no politics and declarations. This is the 
only thing that should be done.

Regards,

ISOC Slovenia
