How do you check where the person is from?

I remember a site on
sourceforge which redirected Israelies (due to an Anti- Israel policy- to
deny Israelies of their project). They did not redirect me when I came
from granada.merseine.nu (home server), which back resolves to an adress
at actcom.co.il. They did redirect me when I came from tx.technion.ac.il.
So  at least the method they used is not very reliable.

Livejournal does not always identify well, as well: Through work I get
a Hebrew page, and through home- an English one.

Not a reliable method here, either.

On the other hand, I know of people (at least one on Linux-il) who do not
read Hebrew very well, and a false positive would make their lives harder.

Orna.
