A shadow war between pro-Israeli and pro-Hamas forces is taking place on the Internet — and it is getting fierce. If you're one of millions of Americans who use social-networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter or participate in virtual worlds like "Second Life," don't be surprised if you get sucked into a war thousands of miles away in Gaza.
