The 0bama left and radical islam: BFF.

Seriously, Shin Bet should find out who these people are and whack a couple of them. Just to set an example.

The Israelis are on the cutting edge of cyberwarfare. Anonymous is mostly a bunch of wannabe hackers running scripts. I think they may regret picking this fight.

The Mossad will not respond by planting a virus. They’ll respond with something much more sinister and effective, Ask those Iranian nuke boffins. Anonymous shows very little sense picking a fight with Israel. The have the ability to find them AND silence them.

This probably isn’t Anonymous, just someone pretending to be them. For the most part, Anonymous only cares about nailing people who abuse children and animals, defacing websites of obnoxious corporations and government entities, and trivial, short attention span stuff like that.

They have no organization, so when they do decide to do something, it is an ad hoc effort.
