INTERVIEW WITH THE SYRIAN ELECTRONIC ARMY (ENGLISH)


They support Hezbollah. That is a huge litmus test passed. It may not be new but these kids have activism down to an art that would impress the lives of even Sun Tzu.


According to: Wikipedia:
An allegedly high-ranking representative for the SYRIAN ELECTRONIC ARMY told the Daily Dot that “We are just Syrian youths who want to defend their country against the media campaign that is full of lies and fabricated news reports” about Syria.[3]
The SEA's tone and style vary widely from the serious and openly political to ironic statements intended as often critical or pointed humour: 
.
SEA had "Exclusive: Terror is striking the #USA and #Obama is Shamelessly in Bed with Al-Qaeda" tweeted from the twitter account of 60 Minutes.
.
In July 2012 they posted "Do you think Saudi and Qatar should keep funding armed gangs in Syria in order to topple the regime? #Syria," from Al Jazeera's twitter account before the message was removed. 
.
In another attack, members of SEA used the BBC Weather Channel twitter account to post the headline, 
"Saudi weather station down due to head on-collision with camel."[4]
One commentator notes that "[SEA] volunteers might include Syrian diaspora; some of their hacks have used colloquial English and reddit memes. 
.
After Washington Post reporter Max Fisher called their jokes unfunny, one hacker associated with the group told a Vice interview “haters gonna hate.”"[5][6]
