   Here's an idea...

   Don't let people be anonymous on the Internet. Then maybe they would be a tad bit more thoughtful in what they post.

   First sentence after the quote uses "thought" instead of "though"... just so you know =)

   If the blogger is Israeli then Google is doing business in Israel, and has to treat its Israeli customers under Israeli law. If they can't abide by Israeli law then they should not let Israelis use their services.

   Isn't that a touch hypocritical coming from someone called 'TheDock22'??

   Wow, that is quite possibly the most idiotic thing I have heard today. I applaud you for the humor you have contributed to my day, however, I object to the fact you may reproduce.

   Isn't the blogger doing business in the USA since Google is in the US? Does Google need to obey an Israeli court?

    anonymous posting ...

    Anonymous posting breeds rude comments and degrades our ability to use a civil approach to find the truth.

    "Isn't the blogger doing business in the USA since Google is in the US? Does Google need to obey an Israeli court?"
    
    Really, it's both. The blogger is doing business with a US company... but Google is accessed in Israel. It's complicated, but I suppose it's sort of like Google is shipping a product to Israel that has to comply with Israeli regulations.

    I think the country where the user lives is key ... especially if Google does anything there, like R&D.
    
    I think expectations to export American law around the globe are a tad colonial ...

    Well Dock is in my name. But I was mostly trying to be sarcastic than make a truthful statement. People are touchy today.

    Hey, Mikey
    
    You know my IP, don't you ?
    
    Now try to get a name... Good luck with that...
    
    Hint: if you post through a proxy firewall the only way to get a computer and person id is by using a court ordered subpoena on firewall logs - a highly unlikely event unless you do something really really stipud, like threaten some high-ranking government official etc.

    "Anonymous posting breeds rude comments and degrades our ability to use a civil approach to find the truth." People also tend speak more truthfully when anonymous.

    +1 for user lives ruling, when you sign up for things like prize games and things, it clearly states in the EUA that you must be in a country that allows this, thus it's irrelevant where the servers are held, it's up to the user to abide by the rules in their own country IMO

    Anonymous posting also allows the truth to come out in cases where people fear some type of persecution for telling it.

    Doing business in Israel

    Fortunately, or not, when you do business in a foreign country, you need to abide by their laws. If a blogger starts his blog in Israel, it makes Google into a "doing business in Israel site". This is true of all commercial law. As long as some company puts its goods into the "Stream of Commerce" any court can claim jurisdiction.
    There are famous U.S. cases about this practice. Most notably, International Shoe v. Washington (326 U.S. 310 (1945)). The question should be: "Is Google 'doing business' by making blogspot available to people in Israel?" Are they making any money from blogspot? Probably.
    
    There is precedent for blocking IP addresses coming from foreign IP's. Notice Torrentspy's decision to block all U.S. originating IP addresses. This would turn Google into a non-world-wide phenomenon (offer not available in certain countries, YMMV). Of course, the horse is already out the gate, in this case, so it won't help this Anonymous Blogger.
    
    Google can whine and go to the U.S. government. We'll see what happens after that. This could get interesting.

    Re: Here's an idea...

    I appreciate the simplicity of your approach, but with the apathy already rampant in our society (and others) we need to encourage people to speak out, and then rely on our own grey matter to separate fact from fiction. I am willing to tolerate infinite rudeness if it leads to the news that we need being brought out into the open since the established media outlets seem less and less inclined and able to do so. Stick and stones, eh..?

    "how will israel enforce any ruling on google when all there assets are in the US? Israel cant do anything unless they were to come to the us with weapons and say google give us the ip address."
    
    All Israel has to do is ban google's ip from their country much like China has done several times, and Google will change their tone. It would be difficult to prove Google is "wrong" by not coughing up the IP, but you can't stop Israel from banning Google either.

    The English translation of the Israeli Blogspot bl

    A new blog is providing English translations from the blog and also from the judge's verdict. It is extremely educational. Why don't you see for yourself and then make an informed decision. This is the democratic way. Here is the link: http://shaarei-tikva.behirot.net

    It would be easy enough to confront the truth with what people say if someone defends their name just as they did against a person who isn't anonymous.
