Hacker Group Anonymous Threatens Israel With ‘Electronic Holocaust’

Cyber activist group Anonymous has released an internet video which threatens Israel with an “electronic Holocaust” on April 7, in a massive cyber attack planned to fall just over a week before Holocaust Remembrance Day on April 16, known in Israel as Yom HaShoah.

The video shows a masked figure in a suit and tie delivering a prepared statement, warning that the group will eradicate Israel from cyberspace “for... crimes in the Palestinian territories”.

“We will erase you from cyberspace in our electronic Holocaust,” says the video’s masked figure. "As we did many times, we will take down your servers, government websites, Israeli military websites, and Israeli institutions."

“A message to the youth of Palestine, you are a symbol of freedom, resistance and hope: we are with you and will continue to defend you,” the electronic voiceover adds. “Our message to the foolish Benjamin Netanyahu and all leaders in the Zionist entities, we will continue to electronically attack until the people of Palestine are free.”

Bad. Idea.

[SkyDancer]

Really really bad idea.

Fortunately, that street runs both ways.

[wbarmy]

Why do I think that Israel has some really good cyber punks who might return the favor, in spades.

[Da Coyote]

We’ll see.

Somehow, methinks I’ll cast my vote that Israel will hand you your smelly Obamaholes.

I hope Mossad knocks on their doors for a chat

[a fool in paradise]

The people of “Palestine” will never be free if they live under Islamic theocracy.

[Slings and Arrows]

Anonymous wants Israel to take them seriously. If they’re very unlucky, they’ll get their wish.

Fortunately, that street runs both ways.

And there's no speed limit.

Good call.

Mossad will be happy to reformat their hard drives if they try.

And by that, I mean they will track you down and delete you from existence.

I hope Mossad knocks on their doors for a chat

I hope someone posts video. I could use a good laugh.

[NFHale]

Mossad will find the little weenies.

They don’t mess around. They know how to get it done.

[Slings and Arrows]

True!

[stars & stripes forever]

Israel already has “Electronic Holocaust” protection. (The Lord God Almighty)

[FlingWingFlyer]

Jew-hating, Nazi hackers. Yikes! They’re the worst kind.

'I hope Mossad knocks on their doors for a chat'

They will not knock and there will be no chatting.

[Sirius Lee]

Anonymous begging to die anonymously.

[Army Air Corps]

Yeah, screw with Mossad and Shin Bet, that’s a good idea. By the way, angry badgers make for good pets.
