Internet chat rooms popular among Arabs were used to circulate information on how to attack Israeli sites. Israeli Internet sources denied that, but acknowledged that a few of the attacks had been highly sophisticated. On both sides of the Internet shootout, Web site officials denounce the conflict. Some Israelis say it is the work of bored teenagers spoiling for an antiseptic fight. These are kids' games.
Every kid nowadays has an Internet connection, and they can do it. . . .
Hormones are awful at this age. Others contend the attacks in cyberspace are more pernicious, and amount to an assault on free expression itself. Shutting down a site is like burning books. And in another era this was very symbolic. We are talking about the Nazi era.
