The latest target of Operation Anonymous, which following the dissolution of LulzSec is the last substantial non-amorphous hacker collective left out there, could lead to some substantial geopolitical fallout. That is because the target of the just announced upcoming DDOS attack is none other than the Israeli Parliament, the Knesset, and while Israel has allegedly been happy to dispense hack attacks in the past, the onslaught on the Iranian nuclear power plant courtesy of the Stuxnet virus coming to mind, we doubt it will as happy to be seen on the receiving end of decentralized computer warfare.

What I find most interesting is that the radical group Anonymous as well as the radical Progressive movement under Bill Ayers and others of his ilk are both siding with Hamas a known Terrorist organization and taking actions beneficial to their goals (see the Hamas Charter). Even the name "Operation Intifada" screams loudly the hypocrisy at play in this. Freedom under the Theocratic, Dictatorial Rule that the term "Intifada" identifies?
Since the stated goals are the antithesis of the freedoms that Anonymous proclaims to protect, it negates them fully. Is the true goal of Anonymous the same as that of Hamas or other radical groups wishing to control the world? Are the members of Anonymous the self-proclaimed deciders of the fate of Sovereign Nations and their actions to defend themselves? That makes Anonymous a group of wanna-be Dictators, does it not? The complete and utter antithesis of who they wish the world to believe they are?
Or is Anonymous for the most part yet another group of radical Anarchists screaming for the attention they so vehemently crave? The children of broken homes, latchkey environments and being ignored by society? It seems far more likely to be true than the description they give of themselves.
Either way they are nothing more than an occasional interesting News story and catalyst to promote, develop and market better and better means of protecting Networks from Internet Vandals.

Wow, where does Hamas come into play?
Are you a JIDF agent or something? Why are we talking about Hamas and the destruction of Israel. I thought we were talking about a group of little kids hacking the parliament website? Two entirely different ballparks..
You didn't blow your toot when Anonymous declared they'd be attacking Irans websites.
