An image of Mahsom.com, after rightists hacked into the site. Last update - 14:56 26/06/2008 Rightist hackers place Israeli flag, Kach images on pro-Palestinian Web sites By Yoav Stern, Haaretz Correspondent Tags: Palestnians, Rightists  Rightists on Thursday hacked into three Web sites associated with the Israeli Arab and Palestinan causes, and embedded on their pages an image of the Israeli flag, the words to the Israeli national anthem and the symbol of an outlawed ultra-rightist movement. The perpetrators hacked into the Web site of the Israeli Arab Balad party; Arabs48.com, an Arabic-language site; and Mahsom.com, which is written in Hebrew. Both site represent the Israeli Arab and Palestinian cause. In addition to the flag and the words of "Hatikva," the hackers embedded the symbol of the Kach movement, an ultra-rightist organization founded by Rabbi Meir Kahane that was banned from the Knesset in 1988 and later deemed a terrorist organization by Israel. The symbol appeared with the words "Kahane was right." Advertisement Pictures were also embedded on the sites showing Palestinian children strapped with explosives under the words "murderers from birth." In a statement also printed on the site, the rightists wrote, "This site was hacked into due to its blatantly anti-Zionist contents. Israel is not interested in people like you who are burdens on the process of proper decision-making in the government. If you oppose what you call the 'Israeli occupation' then there's no place for you here." Arabs48.com, which is popular in Arab states and in Israel, prints news on Israel and the Middle East from a pro-Palestinian, pan-Arabist perspective. Mahsom.com is a self-proclaimed alternative media source meant for a primarily Jewish audience. The manager of Arabs48.com, Az a-Din Badran, said in response that the "hacking of the site is intended to sabotage the a central media outlet, which provides a critical and different look at everything connected to the Arab-Israeli conflict. It seems that the exposure enjoyed by the site, in Israel and in the Arab world, drives the right-wing crazy." "The site is constantly suffering from repeated hack attempts, which have interfered in the past with the regular maintenance of the site, but not to this extent. We view with great severity the attempt to silence the site, which reflects factual and analytical loyalty to the Arab and Palestinian perspective in the ongoing conflict. The Kahane terrorists and their followers from the Israeli-Zionist right will not weaken our power, like they haven't in the past," the statement continued.
