Britain's flagship Jewish newspaper, the Jewish Chronicle, was taken over on Monday morning by pro-Palestinian hackers.
The homepage of the Web site, which was rendered unavailable in the wake of the hack, was replaced with a Palestinian flag and a message reading "Hacked by Palestinian Mujaheeds."
Apparently angered by the newspaper's support for Israel, the message also says: "Arent you ashamed of giving tolerance to Jewish who is the main actor of wars with being of children killers? Arent you ashamed of giving support to vampire who doesn't care any human life?"
The homepage of the Jewish Chronicle after it was hacked Jewish Chronicle Editor Stephen Pollard confirmed the paper's Web site had been replaced by anti-Semitic messages for several hours.
"Somebody hacked into the site and had a message up for a couple of hours," Pollard told AP. "It did no damage, as far as we can tell."
Pollard said the attack could be related to the diplomatic feud that erupted between Israel and Turkey last week, but added: "I don't want to
speculate."
The Turkish government was outraged when Israel's deputy foreign minister
denied their ambassador a handshake and forced him to sit on a low sofa as the cameras rolled. Israel has since apologized.
