THE Anonymous hacker group released a video today threatening to
launch a "reign of terror" against Israel and accusing the Jewish
state of "crimes against humanity".
The video was posted on the video-sharing website YouTube today,
Haaretz reported. It comes amid an escalating cyber war between
pro-Palestinian and pro-Israeli hackers.
"For too long, we have tolerated your crimes against humanity and
allowed your sins to go unpunished," a computer-generated voice
says on the video.
"You claim to be democratic, yet in reality, this is far from the
truth. In fact, your only goal is to better the lives of a select
few while carelessly trampling the liberties of the masses."
Palestinian supporters and Israel loyalists have been battling in
cyber space for several months.
In January, a Saudi hacker published tens of thousands of Israeli
credit card numbers on the internet. And in June last year,
Anonymous threatened to shut down the website of the Israeli
Knesset.
