New York Governor Andrew Cuomo on Sunday signed an executive order that orders state agencies to divest themselves of companies and organizations that support the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement against the State of Israel.

“In New York, we lead by example. We are also a place of action. We want to take immediate action because we want Israel to know that we are on their side,” Cuomo said during a speech, attended by Jewish leaders, at The Harvard Club. “If you boycott against Israel, New York will boycott you.”

It would be interesting if China, Russia, India etc. boycotted Israel as well. Potentially it could be to their advantage to do so if it assisted them into markets such as Indonesia, Iran, Pakistan etc.

The nonprofit online security service eQualit.ie analzyed six major attacks on the bdsmovement.net website in February and March this year.

These distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks involve flooding a website with traffic generated by botnets, overwhelming the site and making it inaccessible to legitimate users. Such attacks can last hours or sometimes days.

“Attackers build networks of infected computers, known as ‘botnets,’ by spreading malicious software through emails, websites and social media,” according to Digital Attack Map, a Google-sponsored project that tracks DDoS attacks. “Once infected, these machines can be controlled remotely, without their owners’ knowledge, and used like an army to launch an attack against any target.”

“While DDoS has been used as a sign of protest, this is an excellent example of how DDoS attacks can also be used to silence activists and organizations,” Jillian C. York, director for international freedom of expression at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a group that works to defend civil liberties in the digital world, told The Electronic Intifada.
Sophisticated attacks

In its investigation, eQualit.ie found that one of the botnets that attacked the bdsmovement.net website had also been used to target an Israeli human rights group.

A substantial number of the computers in that botnet were also used to attack another Israeli media organization during the same time period.

They also arrested Steve Woolfolk, director of public programming for the library, after he tried to intervene. He suffered a torn knee ligament.

Police defended the arrests and said the security officers were enforcing a rule against follow-up questions.

But library officials spoke out strongly against the arrests.
