“It’s a great pleasure to introduce to you our latest project: Israelis for Palestine. This has been in the works since the beginning of October and we’re happy to finally be launching it, despite the fact that it’s still very much in its early stages,” writes Bahraini Esra'a on Mideast Youth.

This news has not been confirmed and the 2nd source who is talking about it on the web (Mideast Youth) are getting conflicting reports.
The 1st Source (Hamsa) didn’t provide any link on the web that we can check.
And what the 3rd source (Committee to Protect Bloggers) reported is basically, hmmmm, …
Several bloogers in Tehran confirmed that sofar!If u need their email let me know.
yes Please Hamed,
the problem is that there are other bloggers who can access Facebook and we don’t know yet weather the block is limited to one or few ISPs. Since we are not sure if all country’s ISPs are blocking facebook we can’t talk about “Iran blocking facebook.”
Facebook banned? Good! Just for it’s pernicious, addictive, quality, Facebook should be as banned as any drug. I see nothing wrong with the Iranian government banning facebook. If anything, these kinds of bans spawn local variants, which ends up helping Iranians.
