You'd think someone running one of the most sophisticated social media engagements in history would know better than to be super racist on Facebook. Or, you know, at all. Read More >>
Sacha Dratwa enjoys some very normal things: macchiatos, swimming, vodka, hanging out with friends. You can see it right on his Facebook profile. But unlike most Facebook folks, this guy runs Israel's Internet propaganda war machine. Read More >>

Anonymous, who has been trying to go after Israel, has swallowed a big fish: Israeli Vice Prime Minister Silvan Shalom. Anon has hacked his Facebook account and replaced the cover photo with a Free Palestine picture. Pretty embarrassing for a high ranking official! Read More >>

Israel got itself into a little mini-war in Gaza, and Hamas is firing off an extra dose of rockets into the Holy Land. What's (maybe) stopping them? Something called the "Iron Dome"—and what exactly is an Iron Dome, you might ask? Read More >>
The hacking retaliation for military action continues, this time with a group of Pakistani hackers joining the fray. Unfortunately, they've decided to take out their wrath on poor old Microsoft and its myriad of Israel-facing sites, oh, and Coke, Groupon, and the BBC too. Read More >>
The Anonymous hack attack on Israel has been continuing over the weekend, with government officials claiming it has seen some 44 million individual attacks made on its official sites. And only one was successful. Read More >>

It looks like Anonymous followed up with its threat of digitally attacking Israel for taking military action in the Gaza strip. They've knocked down websites, deleted databases and have leaked e-mail addresses and passwords. It's a whopping takedown. Read More >>
Israel made this a bizarrely internet-publicisedwar, which I can't say garnered any favours with me, but it looks like it's pissed Anonymous off too. The hacking collective has gone on the offensive, kicking down sites and spray-painting walls, in the only way hackers know how. Looks like Anonymous has your back, Palestine. Read More >>

A conflict is escalating in Gaza, where the Israeli Defence Force has been engaged with Hamas for the past several days. And whoever is running the IDF's Twitter account has decided to live-tweet the entire thing. The disconnect between the cavalier tone and the grave content is positively surreal. Read More >>
Well, this is sorta shocking. Yesterday, Israel started live-tweeting its ongoing campagin against Gaza, telling us all about how it was blowing people up. Turns out they're also now the broadcasters of Kill TV, uploading worryingly graphic and tasteless videos of missile strikes up to YouTube. Read More >>

Things are exploding in Israel and the Gaza Strip, and the two Middle Eastern militaries responsible are shit-talking online. In English. On Twitter. When did the horrors of warfare start resembling angry Selena Gomez fans? Read More >>

We've seen NATO bicker with the Taliban, and even had Libyan rebels call in airstrikes in under 140 characters, but this has to be a first: Israel's announced its latest military offensive with a single tweet. Read More >>
With all the iPhone 5 hoopla lately, you might not have heard the news—Israel and Iran are fixing for a fight that could wipe both countries off the map. Twenty-six Western allies have already dispatched a flotilla of warships to the region to guard the Straight of Hormuz—among them is the brand new HMS Diamond. This floating missile shield is the Royal Navy's most capable destroyer ever. Read More >>
