Jihad accuses U.S., Israeli groups of wrecking its Web site
2004-02-25
A Palestinian militant group accused American and Israeli groups Saturday of hacking into its Web site and destroying it. Islamic Jihad, which has carried out suicide bombings in Israel, said the unidentified groups had destroyed the site to silence "the Palestinian voice." In a statement faxed to The Associated Press in Beirut, the group said: "In an attempt aimed at silencing the Palestinian voice - which speaks for the resistance and defends the Palestinian people’s right - hostile and malevolent Zionist and American quarters have struck the official Web site of Al Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad movement." The statement said it was trying to restore the Web site. It said this was not the first time its site had been attacked by unidentified "Zionist and American quarters." Islamic Jihad and the Palestinian group Hamas have been responsible for most of the suicide bombings in Israel. The two groups are on the U.S. State Department list of terrorist organizations.

#9  Never attribute to malice what can be adequately explained by stupidity.

#7  And how stupid is it to admit that your site was destroyed by your "enemies" ? Nice morale boost for them.

Just keep quiet, rebuild, and continue as if nothing special happened.

#6  If I could have my way, destruction of their web site would be the least of their worries.

#4   I'm no computer techie, but I wonder if it would be possible to set them up with pop-up ads to Fatwa Sams and see how many of those dumb-asses actually try to purchase stuff.

#3  LOL! Purrfekt!

Only someone who is fucked up enough to send suicide bombers to kill innocent civs would so twisted and simultaneously blissfully unaware to even dream of complaining about a website being hacked.

Truly a classic!

#1  Whomever silenced them did not do a good job! Also there should be a bounty paid for disrupting or curtailing web-based hate. Maybe Mr. Gates could part with some of his loot to help stop the spread of hate over the Internet? Or should we just blame it on Al Gore for inventing such a terrible medium to spread hate? Maybe they could partner up and fight the evil forces in cyber space?
