Anonymous' "OpIsrael" Has Little Impact

Posted by timothy on from the hard-target dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The Times Of Israel and AlArabiya.net report that the planned and announced April 7th attack by Anonymous failed to frustrate the Israeli government or its citizens. The country's national Cyber Bureau quipped 'So far it is as was expected, there is hardly any real damage,' Ben Yisrael said. 'Anonymous doesn't have the skills to damage the country's vital infrastructure. And if that was its intention, then it wouldn't have announced the time of attack. It wants to create noise in the media about issues that are close to its heart,' he said."

    I don't see why Anonymous would have succeeded where morenskilled groups in China and Russia have failed.

    It's just noise, nothing coherent.

    "Anonymous" claims to be acting against Israeli oppression of the Palestinians. Did they consult with any Palestinians about this attack? Or do they share the official Israeli point of view, that Palestinians are not worthy of their own point of view?

    What did Anonymous "win"? Nothing. They simply reaffirmed that they're a bunch of jobless losers living in their mothers' basements who have a hard time getting laid. If that weren't the case, they'd direct their energies elsewhere.
