Peaceful DOS Attacks
No, not talking about the black and white framework on which the early versions of Microsoft Windows were running. Instead, I’m talking about a “denial of service” attack. I’ve not been subject to one (largely because I haven’t drawn that level of ire, yet) but PowerLine was subjected to such yesterday after posting videos from the IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) which YouTube was refusing to host.
Thankfully, PowerLine has addressed the issue and will continue to provide such content. However, the affair serves as a stark reminder that there are many who would stifle opposing views even if it requires unlawful activities to do so. If these attacks originated with those who are philosphically opposed to Israel’s existance (as is probable) it further erodes the veracity of people who claim that Islam is a religion of peace.
