#3> More than 44 million hacking attempts have been made on Israeli government web sites since Wednesday
What constitutes an "attempt"?
What information is conveyed by the number "44 million"?
None, really, since we have no way of knowing how the counting is done. In fact there's not really any information in the article, except for "Hacking attempts increase when carrying out a bombing campaign", which probably shouldn't be too surprising.

#5Actually it's surprisingly underwhelming. Anonymous hit some small personal sites (a psychologist, some non-profits, a real estate agency, alternative medicine college) - most of which were back online within 30 mins.
The only government sites they've defaced were Israel's international aid agency (http://mashav.mfa.gov.il/) and some committee about restoring quarries or something. Compared to their incessant boasting that's pretty pathetic.

I like what you're doing with lifeunderfire.com. I wonder if the other side gets a 15 seconds heads up too.

I still don't understand - Israel and its citizens claim that Gaza is the aggressor.
While the civilian casualties are much higher on Palestinian side. And while it's Israel who blocks shipping goods and humanitarian aid to Gaza.

Please take your propaganda elsewhere. HN is not the place for it.

Actually, those aren't blocked. Well, unless you consider missiles to be humanitarian aid.
Should they just let Iran ship weapons into Gaza to be used against Israeli civilians?

This probably includes port scans and such as well
