When you participate in the Blockade, one of the most impactful things you can do is display a message in your site's footer about it. First is what it looks like, then the code.
We Proudly Participate in The Blockade
<!-- Participation message with link and Palestinian flag SVG -->
<div class="p-3 bg-white rounded shadow mx-auto" style="max-width: 350px;">
<p class="small text-center text-muted mb-0">

Here is the actual code you will want to insert into your .htaccess file. Consult your web host's support if you are having trouble with doing so.
# This .htaccess blocks the Israel IP ranges. You will need to ensure accessdenied.html exists

<p>This server observes **The Blockade**, a voluntary movement to non-violently challenge Israeli apartheid and occupation through digital isolation. Your access has been denied based on your network's geolocation.</p>
<p>This measure is not intended to harm individuals but is a symbolic and functional action of non-cooperation aimed at economic and political entities operating within the blocked regions. We stand in solidarity with the people of Palestine and commit our digital infrastructure to support boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) efforts against entities profiting from the occupation and oppression of Palestinians. We believe in the power of peaceful digital resistance to bring about justice and equality.</p>
<p>If you believe you have reached this page in error, please consult your network provider. Otherwise, we encourage you to learn more about the goals of The Blockade and the call for a free Palestine.</p>

The code is long, so take care to copy everything completely. We will be publishing a script soon to enable this block at the server level. There is a script we are presently testing, and we want to make sure it is safe and effective before publishing.
