Anti-Semitism and Terrorism on the Internet
Abraham Cooper (Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs) - In November 2002 after the attack on Israeli tourists in Kenya, Western intelligence deciphered that the Internet played a role in the concealed communications of the terrorists, with messages imbedded on a normal looking website. Other dimensions of the Internet in the service of terrorism include the dissemination of hate and propaganda, fundraising, and recruitment of suicide bombers. One can also download personal information of one's supporters or opponents or start cyberwars and disable others' websites. Rabbi Abraham Cooper is Associate Dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center.
