Response
After PMW publicized that the Hamas children's website was encouraging children to seek martyrdom, the Russian server (CORBINA TELECOM Network Operations) immediately closed down the website on March 9, 2006. However, the site reopened a couple of days later and is now being hosted by a Malaysian webhoster.
Hamas has denied involvement in the website. Farhat Abu-Assad, a Hamas official in Ramallah, told the Jerusalem Post that many Islamic sites sympathize with Hamas "but that does not make them Hamas Web sites. The are private individuals that might sympathize with Hamas, but Hamas does not recognize these Web sites.".
However, according to Palestinian Media Watch, a man by the name of Nizar Hussein who sits in Lebanon runs the children's Hamas Web site, and works together with leading Hamas official in Lebanon, Osama Hamdan.

Famous quotes containing the word response:
“The reason can give nothing at all Like the response to desire.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“Perhaps nothing is so depressing an index of the inhumanity of the male-supremacist mentality as the fact that the more genial human traits are assigned to the underclass: affection, response to sympathy, kindness, cheerfulness.”
—Kate Millet (b. 1934)
“Perhaps nothing in all my business has helped me more than faith in my fellow man. From the very first I felt confident that I could trust the great, friendly public. So I told it quite simply what I thought, what I felt, what I was trying to do. And the response was quick, sure, and immediate.”
—Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)
