1. WOW
David ,   Yehud   (01.18.12)
Arab hackers showed superiority in cyber space.
2. The Israeli hackers should target him specifically
Moshe   (01.18.12)
And all others of his ilk.
3. What is wrong with these ppl?
Ber ,   Yahud   (01.18.12)
Don't they understand that unprovoked attacks on others just create endless cycles of violence where no one wins? Are all the clerics of Islam brain damaged??? But in the case of cyber warfare I think Israel clearly will be the David in this golaith story, so to quote George W: bring it on.
4. First motivation of Quran worshippers
Raphael ,   Netanya   (01.18.12)
Is to humiliate and damage the non believers. A fulltime worldwide task.
5. Once they go back to wooing their beloved&beautiful
tom ,   tel aviv   (01.18.12)
camels, their need for Hi-tech and Cyber-space will vanish to practically nothing. Things always return to natural equilibrium in Nature. The un-natural phenomenon of sudden technological "progress" in the Arab world was due only to external forces (huge oil revenues). Deep inside they still remain a dark&dumb, primitive life-forms, with enormous capacity for hate towards anything that is not in of the Muslim origin. Let them have their moment in the sun...... the more bitter their future shall seem one day.
6. #3, what is wrong?
tom ,   toronto, canada   (01.18.12)
first of all, nothing is "wrong", they are merely hateful, and jealous, because in spite of the koran's promises, the infidel surpasses them, and will continue to surpass them, at every turn. rather than improve themselves, they wallow in "humiliation" and would rather destroy the successful infidel, at any cost, than work to improve themselves. they believe it is their right, as true believers. to rule over whatever is left of their dung heap. so now this idiot glories in becoming the vandals of cyberspace. welcome to the "logic" of the islamists.
7. They tried to kill us and failed - now they hack us. WE WIN!
Yaniv ,   Israel   (01.18.12)
8. Arabs failed to kill us -- now attacks reduced to hacking.
Yaniv ,   Israel   (01.18.12)
VICTORY!!!!
9. Last Year...
TC   (01.18.12)
Last year they were 'playing' with Facebook and they failed as everyone knows. This year, they are trying their best... but will fail again hopefully. What's for next year?
10. Great idea!
OJ ,   Lebanon   (01.18.12)
Love how what 0xOmar is doing is become such a big thing. Good job! Jazakallah :)
11. This is only the beginning...
Nour ,   One-State   (01.18.12)
1 billion people against a colonial outpost of 5,000,000... Let's see who wins.
12.  Iama Tareq Mohammed Al-Suwaidan NEEDS A HIGH COLONIC
JEWDI knight ,   AMERICA THE BEAUTIUL   (01.18.12)
VERBAL DIARREA being his specialty... the high colonic will help clear his throat ...and empty his half full/half empty mind...
13. Theory? Well that just means it has been tested on a few
Henry from New York ,   USA   (01.18.12)
occasions and has been shown to be correct. At least he is honest, no? On another note, could some brave Anon hack this imam's twitter acct? It would be interesting to see that.
14. Kuwait has more oil money to lose than Israel.
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (01.18.12)
The retaliation from Israel could be really painful. Keep messing with Israel....They have good hackers too. Arab and Persian banking could become a thing of the past. Goodness ...if they hack the oil refineries....all kinds of explosions could occur.
15. This is of great benefit to Israel
Serge ,   Montreal, Canada   (01.18.12)
I can think of no greater incentive for Israel to deepen and broaden educational and professional opportunities in the area of cybersecurity and network science. Those in the diaspora should seriously consider donations to educational institutions which offer programs in these areas. Will Israel become the major international research centre for cybersecurity? I don't see why it shouldn't!
16. Honey pot?
sarmoun   (01.18.12)
17. Israel is the 2nd largest high-tech industry in the world
Yaniv ,   Israel   (01.18.12)
Arabs are over their heads if they think they will defeat Israel through computer technology. Jews win more Nobel Prizes than any other people for a reason.
18. The future is here
Tom ,   USA   (01.18.12)
The Chinese invention of gunpowder led to the invention of the firearms, the internal combustion engine to the tanks, the IT revolution to the cyberwars. Various hacking activities are daily occurrences worldwide in the "civilian" sphere. Just wait when professionally trained, state sponsored hackers attack infrastructures, military sites, satellites etc.
19. I'm concerned
Jewish Patriot ,   Galut   (01.18.12)
I'm concerned about this cyber jihad stuffs... they won't care if we take their sites down, they don't care that they lost all the wars, as long as they are alive and fanatized by Islam, they will keep attacking us.
20. Careful what you wish for
Ali ,   Washington, DC   (01.18.12)
Considering how much more high tech Israel is compared to these gulf states. Asking for cyber war is going to open the gates of cyber hell on Kuwait/Saudi. Might be amusing to watch though.
21. #19 Jewish Patriot
Yaniv ,   Israel   (01.18.12)
You're right that they will continue fighting us regardless of how many times they lose. However, they are not aware that they lost any battle with us, because their propaganda machines turn every Arab defeat into a victory against us. If not brainwashed by Jihadist propaganda, then naturally they would not have the morale to fight us and believe they can defeat us.
22. Cybewr attacks
Arnold ,   Canada   (01.18.12)
Inconveniences by the loss of the internet are far more favorable than killing one another .Eventually both sides will get bored trying to outdo one another. What happens next is the unknown.
23. ...the Saudi hacker will also end up like your hero Ayyash
Jack ,   San diego, USA   (01.18.12)
24. #19 and #21 - the solution is to destroy their ability to
Henry from New York ,   USA   (01.18.12)
fight. If you clip a cat's claws can he/she scratch? If you break a man's legs can he charge at you? If you destroy someone's ability to hit you in cyberspace can they attack you? While I wouldn't call for destroying infrastructure except in times of war or other dire circumstances, that is how you permanently solve this problem. One must make it a question of "can" rather than "will".
25. #22 - They might also escalate beyond just simply taking
Henry from New York ,   USA   (01.18.12)
down websites to infrastructure. That's when you start to really have an impact. Taking down sites just scares people whereas down infrastructure also scares the government.
26. Welcome to the XXI century war
Oleg ,   USA   (01.18.12)
this is a war going on. As a war on the ground should be changed. There is no need to occupy countries, all that has to be done is put those idiots back on camels and donkeys, destroying their infrastructure. I'm pretty positive, that Israel's hackers will do more damage to those who support cyber war. Close this idiot imam's site, target him and see how he will respond. We deal with miscenturies people using the most progressive knowledge, they won't stop, so why should we be merciful? We should destroy them without killing people.
27. To No 11
Fish ,   Tel-Aviv   (01.18.12)
1 bln? Right... you also count in Afghan talibans? Or Pakistani peasants? Or poor Bangladeshis? Or Iraqis who seem to have turned killing each into a national sport? Iranians provincial simpletons? Turkish, Egyptian fellahs? In other words - we are against a huge bunch of people who are stuck in the VII century, well, not very pleasnat, but I'm sure that at least they are not an imminent danger on a cyber front for Israel. Nour in One-State - I said you guys live in a dreamlnad that doesn't even have a name of its own.
28. #27 - when you put it that way it's kind of like the Muslim
Henry from New York ,   USA   (01.18.12)
world prior to the Third Crusade. That's also how some politicos see it there. The only difference is that the people who saw themselves as the second Salah-al-din, Osama and Saddam, are both dead and there's no one else who could be a Salah-al-din. The Islamic World will remain in a state of disunity. Speaking of Kurds, it'll be a lot harder for Israel's enemies to stand against her once they also have to worry about an independent Kurdistan.
29. As "effective" as the Yom Kippur War :-D
(01.18.12)
Muslims are moving towards a new Nakbah, this time in virtual space.
30. Superiority, No Survival
KerryR ,   Canada   (01.18.12)
As an observer I would say that Al-Suwaidan is a Ruthless, Vicious, EVIL representitive of the Moon God. Israel is the only Persecuted, Bombed and Terrorized Country on this Planet. The Free, Liberated and Democratic society of this Planet should awaken from their Leftist Ideology to this Phenominon and leave the One Percent to the FUTURE; If there is One!
