Greetings from Anonymous,
It has come to our attention that conservative and pro-Israeli groups throughout the blogosphere have taken advantage of Operation Israel, attempting to solidify public opinion against Anonymous.
TheOtherMcCain.com posted an editorial this morning which stated the following: “If you ever doubted that Anonymous was a terrorist organization, they have now removed all reason for doubt.” The article only contained 55 words of original content by the site itself, the other 90 percent of the article was selected quotations by mainstream media sources.
Let us once again be perfectly clear: Anonymous does not in any way support the use of violence. Anonymous is a world wide collective of individuals whose means pursue human rights, justice, and universal equality for the citizens of every nation.
Pro-Israeli groups throughout the world have grown from a foundation of Israeli/US propaganda and lies. They arbitrarily dismiss the apartheid system of racial segregation and oppression imposed by the Israeli government on the Palestinian people. The fact of the matter is, in the eyes of the media, only the United States and it’s allies are capable of labeling another state or organization as a terrorists. Throughout our campaign, we’ve been inundated with one response in particular; references to Hamas hiding in school buildings or using women and children as human shields. Selective memory seems to have given pro-Israeli organizations the ability to forget that in 2005 Israeli Defence Minister Shaul Mofaz appeared in court to defend the practice of using Palestinians as human shields in combat after a supreme court outlawed the practice, noting it violated International Law.
The reasons for Anonymous intervention through #OpIsrael should be abundantly clear: What is happening in Palestine is oppression. They have no navy, no army, or air force. There is no war in Gaza. There is only the continuous application of military force by Israel in an attempt to push every last person out of the Palestinian state, despite international laws that make these efforts illegal. This illegal expansion of territory by Israel in to the Palestinian state has been ongoing since1948, making refugees of over 700,000 Palestinians. Today, Palestinians are not permitted to live in Israeli settlements, drive on Israeli roads or even travel is the “security” areas surrounding them. These Israeli only housing developments are being built on stolen land, even while being called illegal settlements by the International Court of Justice.
The violence inflicted upon the civilian residents of Gaza is well documented, despite the fact that Israel has adamantly opposed intervention by human rights organizations and the IDF constantly blocks and harasses international journalists.
Despite these facts, Anonymous has not used any anti-Semitic language during our campaign. Nor have we vocalized any support for Palestinian military operations or resistance groups. Our goal was to protect the rights of Palestinian people who are threatened with silence as Israel has made attempts to shut down cell phone and internet service throughout Gaza. We know what happens to victims of oppression when the lights go dark.
It is also worthy to note, that as of yesterday, members of Anonymous participating in #OpIsrael were making attempts to augment our Gaza Care Package for civilians in Tel Aviv by translating the same documents in to Hebrew in the event that they lose access to internet service as well. We do not racially or geographically differentiate between victims of violence or oppression anywhere in the world.
Both Palestinians and Israelis need to find common ground and end the violence that has already resulted in the deaths of innocent people, including children. Israel’s advancement on Palestinian Territories and the racist oppression of Palestinian people needs to end.
We are not terrorists. Governments that fund wars, practice deceit against their own citizens, condone corruption, and turn a blind eye to the deaths of innocent people are terrorists. The word terror does not belong to Israel or the United States. We will judge you by your actions.
Peace and Freedom to all,

This a rational and well thought out response. It is in interests of all human beings that all human beings have a voice, a chance to hear and be heard. The only purpose to deprive people of these rights is to commit actions that cannot bear scrutiny. The situation for all people living in the middle east appears to be less than good, but the people trapped in gaza strip appear to be placed in a horrible situation. It’s surprising that there isn’t more concern for these people. Nobody should have to live under such conditions.

I fully support Anonymous in most of its operations, but in this one I cannot. Especially after seeing this, I start to doubt anonymous’ claim that this attack is not religiously fueled and that it is not attacking any religion

This is not Anonymous. Some other group took credit. Look at the website.

As a matter a fact the Hacker Group who took down the website claimed to Identify with Anonymous. As a result of claiming they were part of it, they too become part of Anonymous. This is one of the most beautiful yet vulnerable parts of Anonymous, anyone can be part of it and be an anon, but this comes at a price: Anonymous must take responsibility for all acts done in its name, and cannot claim they are not part of Anonymous, or they deny one of their base ideals. So unfortunately, yes, anonymous did that. It is unfortunate, since i too Identify with anonymous, but am vehemently against this hacker group’s actions.

I wish people would stop calling themselves Anonymous. Anonymous is no-one, and it is everyone. No-one person or group has the right to speak for everyone who flies the flag of Anonymous. If you have views and want to remain anonymous, then call yourselves “bacon is bad mmmmmkay” or something, just stop attempting to garner support in the name of Anonymous. The only thing you’ll achieve is bringing the whole idea behind Anonymous into a negative light, and force countries to pass anti-anonymity laws.

This is a message that’s being undercut by all kinds of “jihadi’, radical muslim groups from Pakistan, Indonesia, etc. The disservice that’s being done to Palestinians in the name of Allah is remarkable. At any rate, the mature and humane approach of Anonymous is standing on its own authority. It might look like they distribute denial of service, but it’s love that they distribute freely.

Shalom! Every human have to undertand others that are different! The problem is that Palestinians don’t want to recognize the State of Israel: that ‘s’the problem; so Israelians have to prove all over the world the TRUTH by the story explaining what happened in the past in Europe and all over the World. Palestinians have to know the truth about the STORY. Palestinians have be able to leave friendly with solidarity next together with 2 States: #Israël and #Palestine. Palestinians want to destroy the most beautifull place of the World: In this place there are fertility to leave for the both #Israel and #Palestine I’m sure everything will be better and better! Todam!

The Spurious comment above is in direct contravention to hassidic jewish doctorine. Israel should not be established until certain events have happened, as such as a state enforced by military, political, and financial terror is an afront to those that claim to follow any religion. To claim tat Palestians want to destroy the most beautiful place in the world is utter rubbish, they are the people that are having their children killed daily. read that statement again. Their children killed daily, and that because of a Zionist world plot, nothing more…this conflict is engineered to cause suffering to both parties, at the turn of the century the Jews and Palestinians lived peacefully and looked after each others children…not bury them.
Do Your Homework. You Owe it to your children to tell them the truth. The idiotic quote by Djamila Medour above is fantasy…Just as the validity of the Isreali state.

To understand the true implications of a present Israeli state please Google the Works OF Rabbi David Wiess, >>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJ_6xH7QkO0>> I am not a Jew…I am just a well Educated non denominational Faithist…ie…There is a God, can we please stop arguing about who knows ‘IT’ better, no human mind as a part of a single faith could ever contemplate the universal consciousnesses, that could only happen with us all talking to each other without aggression. The tale of Babel holds many truths, world conflict is engineered to stop us communicating with each other.
