Israel Says It Will Treat Online Credit Card Theft As It Would Terrorism

In the wake of the online theft of at least 6,000 credit card numbers belonging to Israelis, Israel's Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon said that "Israel has active capabilities for striking at those who are trying to harm it, and no agency or hacker will be immune from retaliatory action." Also at Reuters, with a few more details about the believed thief, known as OxOmar: "After Israeli media ran what they said were interviews conducted with OxOmar over email, the Haaretz newspaper said a blogger had tracked the hacker down and determined he was a 19-year-old citizen of the United Arab Emirates studying and working in Mexico."

Israel is and always was the aggressor! They kill millions of innocent unarmed palestinians every day, use their heads to play soccer, and the rest of the bodies to provide blood for their matzos.

Absolutely everybody knows that.

True terrorism

True terrorism is a criminal act that terrorizes beyond the actual incident. In my opinion, these things should also be added to that list:
High school mobbing.
Tail gating drivers.
The NY Yankees.
Clowns.

Not necessarily. 3/4 of the people whose credit card numbers were stolen refuse to complain, because the thief is charging less on them than their kids were.

They want to contact this guy to see what he can do about their kids cell phone bills.

If they're killing millions of Palestinians every day, where are all these new Palestinians coming from? They must be rolling through the entire global population every decade or two. Surely such an untapped renewable resource could somehow be put towards power generation. Just think of all the energy stored in that biomass!

Ah yes, and there we have it, when people bring their space fairies into the argument, you just know all logic and reason is lost.
