Anonymous takes down over 650 Israeli sites, wipes databases, leaks email addresses and passwords.
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. Among the casualties are thousands of email addresses and passwords, hundreds of Israeli Web sites, government-owned as well as privately owned pages, as well as databases belonging to Bank Jerusalem and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Lady Pink: Why she kicks ass
- She is a graffiti artist, born in Ecuador and raised in NYC.
- She began her art in 1979 and was well known as the one of only females competing with the men in the male dominated graffiti subculture.
- While she was in highschool she began exhibiting her art in galleries and at 21 she had her first solo show, “Femmes-Fatales”.
- She was a leader in the rise in popularity of graffiti based art, thus her canvases are in many well known art collections such as at the MET in NYC and the Groningen Museum of Holland.
- She featured in the motion picture “Wild Style” (1982).
- She donates public art in culturally neglected communities.
- She still continues her art today and also shares her experience with teenagers by holding mural workshops and lecturing to college students. You can see more here.
Quote: “When I first started, women were still trying to prove themselves, through the 70’s that women could do everything guys could do. The feminist movement was growing very strong and as a teenager I think it affected me without me realising that I was a young feminist. The more guys said “you can’t do that”, the more I had to prove them wrong. I had to hold it up for all my sisters who looked up to me to be brave and courageous and to prove that I could do what guys could do. We defend our artworks with our fists and our crazy courage. When you have guys that disrespect you you’re gonna have to teach them a lesson, otherwise they are going to keep walking all over you. I’m sorry, but that’s the way it is out there, it’s not easy. But it also reflects what the art world in general is: 80% white males. So you have to fight tooth and nail, bitch and scream, be loud and be large to get respect.”

These are Palestinians.
They’re more than just victims. It’s weird, but a lot of the times when people think of Palestine, or Palestinians it’s always in relation to Israel. They are the object to the subject. And we may not realize it, but in doing so, we take away their power and their identity. This…these kinds of pictures…this is the kind of positivity and awareness we need to be spreading!

they try their best to limit you because they fear your capability and they hide the truth behind a facade of power.

Two young Fulani men from Mali. Colorful cloths given to them by admiring young women are piled on top of their turbans. The girls make sure that the patterns of the fabrics they give match the patterns of the dresses they will wear that evening.
