oferdesade ,   israel   (01.17.12)
the innocent will pay. unless they can hurt the pockets of the decision-makers, this will just get worse. stock-exchange maybe, royal family coffers, for sure.
6. you are no better than those who hacked israeli websites
Yael ,   Canada   (01.17.12)
hacking innocent people and exposing critical information that may cause them huge harm just because they are from the same country that some other hacker claims to from does not make you heroes but petty criminals! it would be a greater service for Israel if you put your brains and resources into discovering the identity and location of the real hacker rather than sending DDos attacks against unrelated companies
7. all parties should stop the pointless stupidity
Rafi ,   US   (01.17.12)
8. Not Allowed
AARON ,   Tel Aviv   (01.17.12)
Eventhough we like this idea but this against the law. I think the police should arrest these hackers. Today they bring down the Saudi websites - tomorrow they will bring down our own websites !!
9. To #6
David ,   Montreal, Canada   (01.17.12)
I shared and agreed to what you wrote, but I realise that you can't always be pacific. Eventually someone will have to stop. I'm proud of all IDF !
10. Hit the Saudi's and Anyone Else Who Harms Israel
Ross Gallen ,   HENDERSON   (01.17.12)
Kudos to the Israeli Hackers! They have the right idea and the means to give it back to the Saudi's and anyone else who does damage to Israel.
11. It's inevitable, Israeli hackers
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (01.17.12)
with penetrate the Saudi computers that control the flow of oil from the oil fields, resulting in vast sums of lost Saudi income that they're so desperately in need of Arabs must learn, mess with the best, get your heads handed to you
12. hacker
lebanese amigo ,   usa   (01.17.12)
To me it looks like Mr OxOmar is nothing but iranian hacker sent to saudi to start trouble, all happened after the iranian scientist assassination.
13. what is israel suppose to do? Let all hackers get their way?
DOV ,   USA   (01.17.12)
14. well done
alelxi   (01.17.12)
idf hackers-way to go to defend israel's cyber front. israel is one heck of a country where jews can be blended through the combat strainer to produce a more self reliant jew compared to the spoiled western jews. All haredi and Feigllin take note-all haredi have to go into t he idf-God is no excuse. Bibi-feiglin will defeat you as israelis have had enough of your buddy ehud barak who runs around judea congratullating himsellf on kicking out 50 jewish families while on the other hand offering apologies to turkey and egypt for idf defending itself.
15. To #8 (AARON), Give us a break!
Joe ,   Toronto, Canada   (01.17.12)
The rule of law does not apply in this situation. Your enemies like to see the kinds of response that you have articulated. Israel needs to change the rules of the game, and to up the ante. Go for the jugular Israel!
16. If you REALLY want to sell the product ...
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.17.12)
... hack into Saudi Arabia's petroleum and refining networks. That will make them sit up and pay attention. Think about it -- without all their petroleum resources, what exactly do the Saudis have? A bunch of palaces and a whole heckuva lot of sand.
17. To: No. 6
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.17.12)
Innocent Saudis? Why don't you ask the surviving family members of all the people who perished on September 11, 2001 what THEY think about the Saudis?
18. Hey Islamists: Kul Kalb Bij Yommo!
(01.17.12)
You have no idea what Pandora Box you've opened! Be prepared to suffer the same fate as the common terrorists that we eliminate each time we find them.
19. You may not be right
VS ,   Canada   (01.17.12)
Attacking Saudi targets may not be a pretty thing, but it should force the authorities in this country to take actions against their citizens who target innocent Israelis. The thing is that they don't think any Israelis are innocent... So why should we?
20. Saudi Arabia has a stock exchange? Who knew!
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, USA   (01.17.12)
Of course, I'm being facetious. But to compare the substantive companies on Israel's exchange to those on Saudi Arabia's is a joke. It's the difference between a real country with a history, culture, and a productive population and a tribal fiefdom that simply lucked out by an accident of geology.
21. Nicely done, but Israel's boys can do better.
Henry from New York ,   USA   (01.17.12)
I think they are just playing with their food right now.
22. WARNING ... DO NOT ENGAGE ISRAEL IN CYBER WAR
Robert ,   USA   (01.17.12)
YOU WILL LOSE BIG TIME!!!
23. yeah ! Israel fight backs ! Congratulations
(01.17.12)
24. we are proud of you guys !
(01.17.12)
25. Kol Hakavod, Iam proud of them.God bless Israel and the jewi
hadad ,   uk   (01.17.12)
26. LET THOSE INFANTILE SAUDI HACKERS KNOW 2 CAN PLAY THIS GAME
stude ham   (01.17.12)
and that the better players are israeli.
27. all enemies must be destroyes. Mazal Tov!
frank ,   USA   (01.17.12)
28. #8 Reading comprehension 101
Tahl   (01.17.12)
Our websites were ALREADY brought down as a result an unprovoked attack from Arab hackers. Now our hackers simply responded by bringing down Arab websites, and warned the Arab hackers against attacking Israeli sites. Have you bothered to read the news item?
29. OK kids, time to go to bed.
adsel   (01.17.12)
30. Why
Jason ,   Atlanta, GA   (01.17.12)
Why are the Israeli Hackers only tageting Saudi Websites? For every Israeli site hacked, "Team IDF" should hack a Saudi, Jordanian, Lebanese, Iraqi, and Iranian Website. More targets will get the point across quicker, to the point that the government whose citizen is attacking Israeli Websites will be forced to stop their rogue citizen.
