When the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) this week began taking military action in the Gaza strip against Hamas (as the IDF announced on Twitter), Anonymous declared its own war as part of #OpIsrael.

While the Israeli government almost certainly has backups of the aformentioned databases, these attacks as well as the defacements show Anonymous isn’t just doing its usual spree of overloading target sites. OpIsrael appears to have gotten multiple hackers involved who are interested in doing actual damage, or at least something that is slightly more permanent than just a 404.

Sitting here "bumping your gums" is a sign that we can still speak freely. If Anon gets out of hand, who knows how quickly that could ruin it for the rest of us?

Way to go Anon. Keep up the good work.

Does this group think it's above the law?
Does this group have morals we feel comfortable with?
Where does this group draw the line?
Can we count on it to do what's right, even when it wants to do otherwise?
How do we know this group is legitimate, and not a cover?
How do we know this group won't eventually work for itself, rather than the people?
at the same time this will happen at some point with or without anon. Id prefer they ptb have to rush their plans. Be forced to react instead of act.

Vigilante groups scare me. They can be useful, but they're also unstable. Do you want a rabid dog to guard your family?
