Blocks are intended to be "unacceptable" :P If people were willing to not
visit a site a block wouldn't be necessary :D

Hello
Our Syrian users reported that Arabic Wikipedia access from Syria is
being
blocked (reading and editing), the block started
since 30/4/2008. The
rest
of the languages are working properly. Advanced
users can bypass the
block
and view and edit (proxies) but the problem is
that the majority cannot
get
past the block. We don't know the reasons yet
for this stupid block. Is
there anything to be done to help lift the block?

Syria also blocks YouTube, Facebook, Blogspot, and other sites. I don't
have any suggestions, but it's unacceptable that Wikipedia is blocked
there.
