– #OpIsrael: Anonymous attacks hundreds of Israeli websites (RT, April 6, 2014):
Hundreds of websites of Israeli ministries and organizations came under attack by Anonymous early Monday as part of the hacktivist group’s anti-Israel operation, dubbed #OpIsrael.
“On April 7, 2014, we call upon our brothers and sisters to hack, deface, hijack, database leak, admin takeover, and DNS terminate the Israeli Cyberspace by any means necessary” the group said in a statement.
The move is an act of protest against Israel’s policies, including those against Palestine.
“The further assault on the people of Gaza, who have been flooded by your sewage, terrorized by your military apparatus, and left to die at the border while waiting for medical attention will NOT be tolerated anymore,” the statement read.
“We will not stop until the police state becomes a free state and Palestine is free.”

On a website dedicated to the event, another hacker group – AnonGhost – posted a video saying that the attack will target every possible Israeli website in order to show solidarity with Palestine.
In March, hackers united under the AnonGhost banner claimed to have crashed the website of Israel’s Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development. The group posted the logins and passwords of the website’s users online. The first cyber-attacks under the name OpIsrael were launched by Anonymous during and Israeli assault on Gaza in November 2012. Around 700 Israeli websites, including high-profile government setups such as the Foreign Ministry and the Israeli President’s official website, were taken down. Following the attack, Anonymous posted the personal data of 5,000 Israeli officials online. The websites of the Israeli parliament, ministries and other government organizations stopped operating for some time after last year’s attack, which also took place on April 7. A Middle East hacker who participated in the operation told RT that the “aim of the attack was to show the world the true face of Israel and its armed forces.” He said that last year’s attack was a warning for Israel to be ready for new, larger “surprises.” In retaliation against the massive assault, Israeli hackers allegedly broke into the website OpIsrael.com and posted pro-Israeli content. The site was allegedly being used to coordinate cyber-attacks on Israeli sites.

I know very little about this group. It struck me as a sad commentary on our world that they don’t feel safe speaking out without a mask. The fascist state reaches far beyond US borders……..but they seem to have a specific purpose.
I agree Israel is a thorn in the sides of many, their warmongering stance has cost them a lot of support. But, hate is corrosive, and selling it back towards Israel doesn’t solve much.
We seem to have gangs of fools all over the globe, and they are destroying our once orderly world. I am sure they believe they are right…….but so do the folks they argue with……..and hate only breeds more hatred.
I dislike what Israel is doing, I think it is wrong, I am disgusted with a government that backs them regardless of their ongoing outrages. But, I don’t think hate is the answer.
Hate is what Adolph Hitler used……..and millions died because of it.
I see no solution to this problem.
Another case of KARMA.
There will never be peace while this country exists.
The sooner this illegal, rogue, murderous, warmongering bunch are removed from the equation the better.
Israel is not illegal. All the Arab migrants with false claims to ‘Palestine’ are.
Point taken Marilyn, but I personally have deep rooted feelings towards this false nation than most.
My experience is based on my father’s military upbringing there, my close, innocent association with the jewish groups as a teenager, and my now warm relationships with Palestinian Christians whose home town of Bethlehem has been usurped, leaving them with no identity.
Add all this to the avalanche of politically correct propaganda churned out as guilt trips for us all to pour pity on this devious tribe of wanderers, and you will see my reasons. Nothing, and I mean nothing they say or claim has any validity.
Please believe me when I state categorically that the vast majority of these people have no respect or interest in gentiles. Full Stop.
We are victims of an unending manipulation, and slowly, but inexorably, people are asking the right questions.
Trust a jew….more fool you….for they will surely screw.
Isn’t Bethlehem in the West Bank, which is controlled by the Palestinian Authority. Stop projecting Christians’ problems with the Muslims on the Jews. There are thousands of Arab Christian citizens of Israel, who have no problems.
To Squodgy: My experience with any of them came later in life…….and their values are very different than ours. After the Nazi years, most bankers were careful to keep them in the back rooms, to keep them from becoming a target of hatred once more.
My paternal grandfather was a banker whose family migrated from Norway at the turn of the 20th century. In WWI, he served the Allied forces as an interpreter, he spoke seven languages. When the war ended, he went to work for a bank in San Francisco handling all foreign currency and issues. A very different type of banker than we have today. He was not a rich man, he lived a quiet, middle class life. He took the train to work to avoid spending on a car. He would not recognize these crooks; he would not leave work until the last penny was balanced.
They started becoming far too public in the 1980s, by the 1990s, they were hawking their investments all over the financial channels. I had a friend who entrusted $60K to one of them, and lost it all, of course. Then, they started selling options, and millions more lost their shirts.
Now, they are as hated as they ever were because they are all over the TV and they are running thief shops all over Wall Street. They should have stayed out of the limelight, now, it is too late.
However, they are in bed with many gentiles……it isn’t just the Jews, it is greed. Greed has never blessed one race over another; it eats everyone alive.
Here in the US, the KKK is rising up again. I remember when they were a big political force to reckon with……I don’t want to relive those days. Hate only begets more hate. The KKK is every bit as vicious as any group that ever formed, just like the Nazis.
I am sorry you had bad experiences with them, I have had my own as well. Their endless fighting over some land, building more settlements where they don’t need to be, it seems an endless problem. They have become a military arm of the US, and millions of us don’t like it. Americans are war weary, sick of corporate enriching wars at our expense while our schools close for lack of funds. We have leaders who don’t give a damn what we want or need. If you have followed the news, Citizens United ruling was given more teeth, enabling the greedy guts to buy senators individually. The US is finished.
We must not blame the entire group for the behavior of a few. I know a man who claims there is no god because the nuns mistreated him as a child. I asked him what God had to do with the actions of an unpleasant woman…..he could not answer.
Only one thing I know for sure….trust nobody……nobody.
