The following is a reprint of a government statement on cybercrime (including Denial of Service) and what steps are being taken to deal with it. The statement below dates back to February 29th, 2000. It is safe to assume that much more sophisticated means of detecting cybercrime have been put into effect and that catching and prosecuting hackers has been streamlined and is today a matter of routine federal business.

An article in the London Times reports “Israel’s Government has thrown its weight behind efforts by supporters to counter what it believes to be negative bias and a tide of pro-Arab propaganda. The Foreign Ministry has ordered trainee diplomats to track websites and chatrooms so that networks of US and European groups with hundreds of thousands of Jewish activists can place supportive messages.

In the past week nearly 5,000 members of the World Union of Jewish Students (WUJS) have downloaded special ‘megaphone’ software that alerts them to anti-Israeli chatrooms or internet polls to enable them to post contrary viewpoints. A student team in Jerusalem combs the web in a host of different languages to flag the sites so that those who have signed up can influence an opinion survey or the course of a debate.”

While it is noteworthy that Israelis and possibly even other non-American Jews are being paid by the Israeli government to interfere with the political process in America by worming their way onto blogs and message boards, this “Zionist propaganda” campaign appears to coincide with a criminal attack on the popular pro-White website Stormfront.
