In this, our busiest week of the year, the website suddenly disappeared on Friday morning. At first, we thought that the server was down, but we were soon told that the website had indeed been hacked from the US. That there are people who feel so threatened by a website on Palestine in Australia that they are prepared to sabotage it, only shows how much they fear the truth. Indeed, only those protecting a monumental deceit would need to resort to such cheap, underhand tactics.
It is not the first time this has happened. The Women for Palestine website was also targeted in 2008 and everything was lost. However, we are not likely to lose the information this time as it has all been backed up, but it will take time to retrieve it and get everything up and running again.
We apologise to everyone who has come to rely on the information provided by the website and we want to assure you that these attacks only strengthen our resolve to be a voice for Palestine again.
We will let you know when the website is back in operation and we hope that you will continue to visit it as before.

Hushing up the voices of justice and submersing the truth has always been their ways. But the truth always float, and only the filthy sud; the scum, stays at the bottom.
