The sensitive data of several Israeli athletes in the Paris Olympic Games was published on Telegram in an alleged doxing attack on Friday.
A hacking group calling itself “Zeus” (likely a nod to the Games’ Greek origins) is allegedly responsible, and also purportedly leaked the military status of Israeli athletes on social media a day prior.
Good. Many of these “athletes” served in the israeli occupation forces and will have participated in human rights abuses against Palestinians which have now become completely normalized in that society.
Israel should not be participating in these games It is a stain on the Olympics.
The Olympics were literally held in Nazi Germany, they have no respectability to stain…

“Good”? I’ve seen some really strange takes here, but this is wild. I’m pretty sure Israel has compulsory service for nearly all citizens, so serving in the IDF isn’t exactly a choice they would have necessarily made willingly. To suggest that they deserve to be doxxed for something they had no say in is absurd.
Point your anger at the right people.

Big “I was just following orders” energy here.
So they should have refused and taken the punishment? That I’m sure you know what it is, since you seem so well informed.
What did the athlete even do, then?
Fuck that. They have an international platform to say something against the ongoing genocide and are instead supporting it by participating under the Israeli flag.
So we should dox the athletes for it? Seriously?
Dunno… Genocide, or decorum. It’s a toughie
Yes. They are supporting genocide. And it’s not even “silence is compliance” but they’re literally ‘advertising’ their country during a genocide. And yes I know that the Olympics is an extremely big and important thing for athletes, but that’s exactly why you have the option to compete without representing a nation.
And what do you think doxxing the athletes accomplishes, exactly? What good do you think comes of it? What purpose does it serve?
I haven’t looked at the dox, but if they have apartments/properties outside of Israel, it’ll lead to some good ol’ vandalism. With addresses inside Israel it’s most likely gonna be harassment in the form of letters and packages. Same goes for phone numbers and email addresses.
Essentially, make their lives as uncomfortable as possible. And because they know they’ve been doxed, it’s unlikely to lead to physical violence, because I doubt they’re stupid enough to stay at (now publicly known) addresses outside of Israel.
Oh no, a German calling all the Jews criminals indiscriminately and calling for extreme lawless measures against “that nation of criminals”. That is such a fresh take.

Huh, so you’re a supporter of forcing people out of their homes when they’ve committed no crime other than have the misfortune of being born in the wrong country? Where have I seen this one before…
Exactly!!! If we’re already assuming they served in the military, why do we need any more information than their name? What is the end goal of the dox?
I believe the end goal is to cause conversations like the above.
Why “athletes” in scare quotes?
The only reason Russia isn’t directly participating in the games is their athletes are dopers. You think otherwise Russia is a stand-up country? Yet their “athletes” (?) are there.

I feel like doxxing someone is more of an Odin or Athena type of thing. Zeus is more into rape and stalking, just ask Io
As a sidenote… Is Zeus depicted as caressing and admiring his malformed god-cock in that statue or what the hell am I looking at?
Cornucopia (Latin: “horn of abundance”) is an old symbol of plenty.
But yes, I imagine this shot was chosen for its suggestive framing to congratulate the hackers for bullying the bullies.
