This briefing addresses the world's first global Internet war: the cyber skirmishes associated with the Palestinian intifadah. What started out as a localized conflict spread to battles around the globe as forces sympathetic to either the Israelis or the Palestinians joined the fray. With the Middle East cyber war as a backdrop, this presentation will cover the ways in which people can try to affect the course of world history through coordinated action in cyberspace.
