ISRAEL SUPPORTERS STRIKE BACK AGAINST ANTI-ISRAEL HACKERS BY…HIJACKING THE HACKERS’ WEBSITE

Hackers purporting to be affiliated with the collective Anonymous have for days been threatening a massive cyber attack against Israel on Sunday. Their stated vow: to “erase Israel from cyberspace.”

While Israeli government websites appeared to be functioning as of Sunday morning Israel time, Israel supporters had a surprise for the would-be attackers. The OpIsrael website associated with some of the anti-Israel hackers was itself hacked and late Saturday was playing Israel’s national anthem, Hatikvah. It also listed 20 facts about Israel not usually recognized by the Jewish state’s detractors, including:

• Jerusalem is mentioned over 700 times in Tanach, the Jewish Holy Scriptures. Jerusalem is not mentioned once in the Koran.

• King David founded the city of Jerusalem. Mohammed never came to Jerusalem.

• Jews pray facing Jerusalem. Muslims pray with their backs toward Jerusalem.
