1. Correct!
Ahron ,   Rishon, Israel   (01.18.12)
That's right! That's WHY we HAVE a government. Let them take care of this non-sense, instead of rogue individuals that may not have all of the information. These individual people have no idea of the true identity of OxOmar. In the process of retaliating, you inadvertantly undermine you're own government's authority.
2. Laf laf Meridor! #1: Theoretically you are right.
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (01.18.12)
But in Israel where all the Government is capable of doing is producing huge amounts of hot air and broken promises, by the time they do do something, OxOmar will have made a laughing stock of our country! Sadly, we the people of Israel cannot rely on our Government to protect us in any way as they are far too busy looking after their own interests and staying in power!
3. Israel must take intelligent action
Sami ,   New York, USA   (01.18.12)
Israel must take intelligent action. Cannot let this criminal get away with it.
4. just a thought
Sam M ,   Uk   (01.18.12)
If an Israeli hacker brings down a arab website will the 'victim' ie the website be considered a 'cyber shahid' and entitled to 72 virtual virgins? This clearly requires some thought. It's only fitting that the definition of a 'shahid' is updated so that victims of 'zionist aggression' are rewarded. Heaven forbid if islam if doesn't move with the times people may think it's just a primitive religion stuck in the past!!
5. What is Meridor scared of?
Ellen ,   Netanya   (01.18.12)
Israel has rolled over in so many areas where it comes to defense against those who would annihilate us. Who would have thought major European powers would basically be calling for us to commit suicide --to save themselves the trouble of destroying us? Now, there is a new front. As Imans call for cyberwar jihad, Meridor sits and says, "let them" Why are so many Israelis scared of an Israeli victory? Is there so much self-hatred in this country?
6. Meridor condemns Israeli Hackers
Hel H. ,   Tel Aviv   (01.18.12)
Seriously? That's what he has to comment on. This turn the other cheek attitude Meridor has suddenly adopted is rather pathetic. Ever hear of fighting fire with fire when it doesn't actually require actual fire. I guess his personal information was not hacked, so why not play at righteous indignation. They have specifically targetted Israeli cititzens and Israeli Institutions. He (thye say they are Saudis, the Saudi gov't has not condemned them.
7. merridor is a good man but weak
alexi   (01.18.12)
like peres and olmert, merridor is a weak man. So israelis fight and sometimes make mistakes. But the world understands the israels fight and are aggressive. What do you want-willing jews to the gas chamber begging obama to save them. You didn't learn anything from the holcoaust sitting in israel with yoiur law degree. It is curious that you, livni, ramon and olmert are all lawyers and all weak cowardly jews. Take some martial arts and assert yourself. The world has no time for weak jews like you beilin and peres.
8. Mr. Meridor condemnation of Israeli hackers retaliating.
Emanuel ,   Toronto, Canada   (01.18.12)
Since when is Meridor the guardian of the Saudies and their Hackers, Saudia is probably the most hateful country against Israel in the Arab world,"follow the money" and you'll find who finances every extremist group in the muslim world,and those that are trying for decads to hurt Israel in every way and means possible.Any Israeli that can cause damage electronically to Saudia and its institutions will be blessed.
9. Inteligence minstr, not inteligent
Roy ,   Canada   (01.18.12)
Dan, ata shev be sheket. You were chosen by the people, for the people! You work for us, not the other way around. So don't tell us what we can/cant do in Israel's name. She doesn't belong to you.
10. maridor wrong
ygalg ,   israel   (01.18.12)
saudi and other islamic states hurrayed and praised the attack on israel, does not seems to bother him. that this in fact a war. instead condemning the israeli hackers, he should apply to UN a complain that saudi and other islamic states including imams on twitter endorsing and incite a cyber attack on israel. this self beating routine tiresome and we had enough of it. its time to kick ass and rightly so. if maridor cannot stand the heat, then let someone who can. can anyone remind me what maridor's real contribution to israel aside be a politician who feeds on tax payers money?
11. Dan Meridor
Abraham Nachmias ,   Petach Tikva IL   (01.18.12)
Mr. Meridor does not belong in Likud. the only reason he is there is because Bibi is afraid of following the Likud ideology and trusts his advisors who are cowards. Whatever Meridor says belong much more to Kadima, where he should be!
12. Dan Meridor is a total loser, no pride at all!
Rachel ,   US   (01.18.12)
13. What the heck is Meridor doing in Likud?
Chaim ,   Israel   (01.18.12)
Can anyone remember a single stance Meridor has taken, in the last decade, which is consistent with Likud's values and Constitution? Likud was founded as a patriotic, vehemently right wing party. Likud's founders were devoted to massively settling liberated Judea and Samaria; which Meridor opposes. Likud's founders were also committed to strong punishment of transgressions by Israel's enemies. Which Meridor definitely isn't. Meridor's attack on patriotic Israely cyber attackers follows a long list of other examples of Meridor's weakness. What the heck is Meridor doing in Likud?
14. Why is Merridor with Likud? I could have
Israeli 2   (01.18.12)
sworn it was Livni saying things like that.
15. EARTH TO MERIDOR :GROW A PAIR
LAWRENCE OF ARABIA ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (01.18.12)
