The Fe - fisted crackdown against Syrian insurrectionist ( and civilian ) has attracted the vandalizing ire of Anonymous , who’vedefaced the government activity ’s Ministry of Defense internet site . A trivial hack , but a sign that the collective ’s got their eye on the body politic ’s bloodletting .
The post - hack web site , which I ’m unable to adulterate at the moment from New York , expose a message of solidarity for the Syrian uprising in both English and Arabic :
To the Syrian people : The world stands with you against the brutal regime of Bashar Al - Assad . cognize that time and history are on your side – tyrants utilize violence because they have nothing else , and the more violent they are , the more tenuous they become . We salute your decision to be non - violent in the face of the regime ’s ferociousness , and look up to your willingness to follow up on justice , not simple revenge . All tyrants will fall , and thanks to your courageousness Bashar Al - Assad is next .
To the Syrian war machine : You are creditworthy for protecting the Syrian multitude , and anyone who orders you to kill women , children , and the elderly deserves to be try for high treason . No remote enemy could do as much damage to Syria as Bashar Al - Assad has done . Defend your country – uprise up against the regime ! – Anonymous
Again , web site defacements are trivial attacks , but the aspect of an offence against the Syrian government ( as oppose to the usual fare of cops and army corps ) would stigmatize an interesting shift for Anonymous , and one that might have the potential to shift current outcome on the solid ground .
