Anonymous declares war on Israel

Comment:  I don't think that Anonymous has the means to seriously hurt Israel, but the real effect of this operation is a PR disaster for Israel: Israel is denounced as a villain (which, of course, it is) while the world public opinion is shown as disgusted by Israel (which, of course, it is). And that, in itself, is fantastic.  Anonymous simply ignores the fact that most of the planet is run by US puppets and Anonymous ignores the corporate media.  It claims to speak for "the people" as opposed to the Establishment, and the message is clear: "Israel, the people see you for what you are, and we will fight you with all we have".

Symbols are very important, and this action, even if primarily symbolic, is very timely, needed and just.

Uncle Sam shuts down Megaupload - 'Anonymous' retaliates

Slashdot reports:

"Federal prosecutors in Virginia have shut down notorious file-sharing site Megaupload.com and charged the service's founder with violating piracy laws. The Associated Press broke the story on Thursday, reporting that the indictment accuses Megaupload.com's owner with costing copyright holders including record labels and movie studios more than $500 million in lost revenue."*  "Shortly after a federal raid today brought down the file sharing service Megaupload, hackers aligned with the online collective Anonymous have shut down sites for the Department of Justice, Universal Music Group and the RIAA. 'It was in retaliation for Megaupload, as was the concurrent attack on Justice.org,' Anonymous operative Barrett Brown tells RT on Thursday afternoon."*
