'Anonymous' hacker group threatens 'reign of terror' against Israel
The hacker group “Anonymous” released a video Friday threatening to begin a ‘reign of terror’ against Israel, in the latest round of cyber warfare between pro-Palestinian and pro-Israeli hackers.
The video, which was posted on YouTube in the early hours of the morning, blamed Israel for committing ‘crimes against humanity,’ and criticizing it for its treatment of Palestinians.
“Through the use of media deception and political bribery, you have amassed the sympathies of many. You claim to be democratic, yet in reality this is far from the truth. In fact, your only goal is to better the lives of a select few while carelessly trampling the liberties of the masses,” says the clip’s computer-generated narrator over ominous background music.
The video also makes reference to the possibility of an Israeli strike on Iran, claiming that Israel has “taken steps to ensure a nuclear holocaust,” and that it will not be allowed “to attack a sovereign country based upon a campaign of lies.”
A message to Anonymous,
While you all were making videos threatening a start reign of terror against Israel (something, may I add, that has actually been occurring since the state’s modern establishment), the Syrian people continue to be massacred. It is estimated that about 6000 people have been killed since the anti-Government demonstrations began last March (Source: here). Do Syrians not matter when Israel cannot be blamed for their deaths? Is this not a crime against humanity? Is this democratic?
Furthermore, you say can not allow an attack on “a sovereign country” (Iran). So the implication is that Israel is not a sovereign country? Hmm.
Let’s take a look at a recent action of the government that you all are defending.
“A dissident Iranian blogger has been ordered flogged and jailed for 14 years by a Tehran court, media rights group Reporters Without Borders said Tuesday.”

See, and I thought the reason you guys use the Guy Fawkes mask is because you stood against tyranny, oppression, and totalitarianism. Guess that isn’t the case, as Israelis are allowed to criticize the government. Bloggers in Israel aren’t flogged and jailed, because the press is free and open.
But for a group of hackers to attack a country that is democratic and defend a country that jails dissidents blows my mind.
Anonymous, what do you stand for again?
