Israel, Palestine Wage Web War
An anonymous reader writes "A war has erupted on the Internet between Israel and Palestine, alongside the war being fought on the ground in Gaza. A new report claims that a group called the 'DNS Team' has defaced an Israeli Website, with anti-Israel graphical images — one in a series of instances of 'e-vandalism.' This sort of e-vandalism, says the author, is not only an inconvenience for Webmasters, but many of the images contain malware links and 'redirects or Flash links to Jihadist forums or blogs.' However, while the Jihadist forums are registered in Saudi Arabia, they are hosted by companies like Layered Tech and SoftLayer in Plano, Texas. On the Israeli side, 'A fascinating approach over the last few days is being made by an Israeli Website, "Help Israel Win," which provides a download so your PC can become part of a worldwide pro-Israeli botnet. So far 7,786 have joined, already a fairly powerful global computing force...'"
The same goes for anyone who thinks the people of the U.S. are just like Bush?
Yes you are.
Maybe they should have voted some other group into power, then.

Even though islam comes close with 1,2 billion dead, not a single religion has ever killed anywhere near the amount of death dealt out by the leaders of atheism. By the leaders of socialism. By "the will of the people". By "social justice".
Some billion people total were killed by atheists in the last 100 years. Several hundred million merely for their faith (confucianists in China for example) by these atheists. From Berlin to Hong Kong to East Timor millions have been killed by people looking to "eradicate" religion.
And islam comes close to atheist ideologies in deaths caused by religious persecution. But it took muslims a millenium to kill almost the amount of people the "socialist" atheists killed in less than 100 years.
Some ideologies are genuinly peaceful. And some are not. Amongst the peaceful ideologies you will find multiple religions and some atheists and amongst the massacres you will find religionists and the large mass of atheists.
So unfortunately this whole "it's god" is bullshit. Yes some gods like allah demand rivers of blood, but so does the "will of the people, free from god" as illustrated undeniably by recent history.
The problem is, quite simply, that some people feel themselves better than the rest. Feel themselves superior to others. And frankly, even though I consider myself atheist, there are plenty of atheists that I don't consider good company. Atheists are certainly not tolerant of christians in America and neither are the atheists of china tolerant of the remaining religious peoples there. Standing in the camp of atheists feels almost as dirty as defending hamas.
Wrong. That's like saying not collecting stamps is a hobby.
No, collective punishment is when a militant hides in a city, and rather than risking troops to flush them out, you carpet bomb the city. "Intimidating the population," "crimes of the few," the government of Gaza is Hamas... defacto since they ousted the PA, and quasi-legally since Hamas's legislative electoral victory was based on dominating (70%+) the votes in Gaza. The blockade is legal because Israel is in a state of belligerency with Hamas run Gaza.
What is magical about the 1966 borders? What makes them legitimate? Or do you want to go back to 1948 (Egypt and Israel did a small land swap between the wars, which Hamas originally claimed that the Gaza withdrawal was incomplete. Or do you mean the UN Partition plan, rejected by the Arab side? Israel has NEVER had a recognized eastern border... the 1948 armistice line was an armistice demarkation, NOT a legal boder... and with the withdrawal from Gaza, Israel IS within it's pre-1967 borders in the disputed area.
Whenever Israel gives up land to "get the moral high ground," they get attacked from that land, and critics conveniently forget that they gave up that land. Israel retreated from Gaza, and rockets rained down ever since, so why on earth should they withdraw from land where rockets could hit major population and economic centers like Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.
Take a trip to Israel one time, IT ISN'T THAT big, without passage through Judea and Samaria (which you really don't have), the country has a choke point where it is too narrow to be safe. Israel, grabbing Gaza, cut it in half. When Jordan last launched an attack (1967), they tried to split the country in two. That's a dangerous situation without a reason to believe that it will be peaceful.
