Actually, if they brought down Ha'Aretz, i would think they were "pro-israel" hackers-- not "pro-Palestinian"!

    What do they have against Haaretz? I find it one of the most balanced of them, seeing as they will publish something about a screwball in the Knesset the same day they publish an IDF arrest of Palestinians at a check point.

    Yes-- its balances anti-Israel hate propaganda from the Palestinians with anti-Israel hate propaganda from various Arab countries!!!

    Seems you're just as uniformed as Anonymous was. Haaretz is a Jewish publication. Just goes to show how often you post without investigating the topic or the comment you're responding to. I can only guess your intent was to attack me and/or the Palestinian people.

    So you hadn't actually looked into the topic before you repeatedly replied? Usually one investigates a matter, gathers facts and then bases an opinion; your method seems strange and appears to be little more than an attempt to derail the conversation

    An easy start to learn about a topic can be wiki then just verify its sources, or just use a search engine like google to find related information.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haaretz

    Haaretz is Israel's oldest daily newspaper

    Haaretz is considered Israel's most influential daily newspaper.[9][10][11][12]

    Surveys show that Haaretz readership has a higher-than-average education, income, and wealth; most are Ashkenazim.[7][15]

    Hippo,

    Tongue-in-cheek springs to mind when reading krishna's posts. at first I thought yours had to be as well. however, your last one seemed rather serious..too serious, perhaps. safe to say, everyone involved in this seed knows exactly what Haaretz is, how, or why. lighten up!

    If it was anyone else but Krishna I would have seen the "LOL" as being a joke, but past experience makes me doubtful

    its balances anti-Israel hate propaganda from the Palestinians with anti-Israel hate propaganda from various Arab countries!!!

    I can only suspect that was intended to attack the pro-Palestinian view as being nothing more than anti-Israel hate and propaganda... Whether is comes from Haaretz, others or even myself.
