Israeli Hacktivists Defend Their Turf Against Anonymous Zionhass

Damn those Jooooos!:

JERUSALEM (JTA) -- Israeli websites targeted by hackers in the "OpIsrael" attack suffered some damage, as Israeli hackers fought back, breaking into the server of a major anti-Israel hacking group. 

The international hacking group Anonymous announced last month that the attack operation against Israeli websites and Facebook pages would take place on April 7, on the eve of Israel's Holocaust Remembrance Day. The group said it would "wipe Israel off the Internet," in protest against Israel's treatment of the Palestinians.  

The offensive began on Saturday when the group claimed to have hacked some 19,000 Israeli Facebook accounts. 

By Sunday morning some small Israel-based websites were shut down. No major websites, including government and defense sites, appear to have been brought down, though some reportedly were affected for brief periods of time, including the Defense Ministry's site, according to Haaretz. The Education Ministry and Israeli bank websites also have been attacked, according to reports. 

In a new video message posted April 6, Anonymous repeated its charges of mistreatment of the Palestinians by Israel and, directly addressing the Israeli government, said: “You have not stopped your endless human right violations. You have not stopped illegal settlements. You have not respected the ceasefire. You have shown that you do not respect international law.” 

The video message continues, saying “that is why on April 7 elite cyber-squadrons from around the world have decided to unite in solidarity with the Palestinian people against Israel as one entity to disrupt and erase Israel from cyberspace.” 

In a Twitter post, Anonymous Germany officially disassociated itself from OpIsrael 

An Israeli hacker named EhisR took over the website OpIsrael.com, removing anti-Israel content and posting something he calls "A few forgotten facts," including "Israel became a nation in 1312 BCE, two thousand years before the rise of Islam," and "Arab refugees in Israel began identifying themselves as part of a Palestinian people in 1967, two decades after the establishment of the modern State of Israel."...

 Oh, EhisR, don't confuse 'em with the facts.
