There has certainly been many brief, and not so brief blocks, passed out. I see my old friend Zeq in there (He once provoked me into admitting I'm a Zionist). I don't think there is a solution, really other than to keep monitoring editors and dealing with the most egregious offenders. I have always been suspicious of government involvement, as I am of the Chinese government, but never have seen an obvious instance. There does seem to be some advocacy recently for propaganda campaigns coordinated by the Israeli government:
