    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.

        If you ask China if there’s any country call Taiwan, they will tell you you’re insane for thinking that.

        It’s perspective.

          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.

        The majority of countries recognize a Palestinian state

    Dumbass clickbait:

    Twitch addressed the controversy earlier today (October 21, 2024), stating that they “temporarily disabled signups with email verification” in Israel and Palestine following the incident that occurred on October 7, 2023.

    emphasis mine.
