    So they blocked new accounts from Israel and Palestine, and the headline just mentions Israel?

    Sounds about normal…

      You know there is no country called Palestine, right? Twitch means that they blocked new accounts from the country of Israel, which includes the territories that may some day be called Palestine.

          That’s true, but my point was that the commenter was implying that Twitch was making some kind of political statement about Israel vs. Palestine, which it probably wasn’t.
