International hacker group Anonymous released a video this week coinciding with
the annual America Israel Political Action Committee Policy Conference in
Washington, vowing to make AIPAC “pay for their crimes.”
Anonymous is a
loosely organized group of hackers that released a similar YouTube video last
month, vowing to launch an internet crusade against Israel, which it accused of
committing “crimes against humanity.”
The group was also allegedly behind
the stealing of millions of emails from the US-based global security analysis
firm, Startfor, which were published by whistleblower website WikiLeaks in
February.
“Just a few weeks ago we declared our crusade against the
government of Israel and all supporting counterparts for their involvement in
war propaganda, crimes against humanity and the systematic genocide and
expulsion of minorities,” a computer-generated voice said in the video released
this week.
“Our government’s foreign policy has no sovereignty to
America, its sovereignty is now to Israel. AIPAC is now our
enemy. We’re calling for an occupation of AIPAC and the destruction of
their websites, make them pay for their crimes,” the video said.
