Pull request might not be a terrible attack vector. I'm sure there are plenty of people out there who don't look carefully and just merge them in.

In fact, I might go so far as to say that this was never intended to be merged. I'll assume whoever did this wants their message heard, and while it will never show up on CoderDojo, the hodgepodge of coding styles ensures that the "pull request" will go viral, thus possibly reaching a far greater number of people than it would have otherwise. /tinfoil

  What message? I read through the thing and didn't see any message. There's some encoded arabic, but even if I could read arabic, I couldn't read it encoded.

    There is actually a message: "If there is no check on the freedom of your words, then let your hearts be open to the freedom of our actions" "The war continues until the last Zionist remains on the beloved land of Palestine" cough Shouldn't that be until there are no more Zionists in Palestine? Are they proposing to kill all Zionists until there is just one of them left, and then say "you're the last one here, you can stay".

      Are you really surprised that the author of that code would commit an off-by-one error?

      It never fails to cease to amaze me when people people mix up these type of statements.

        That was irony, right?

    The message that you should carefully read all pull requests?

    Downloaded that file, removed the JS and took a look in a browser. The Arabic is here(I hope HN can handle the unicode -- I've translated inline -- editorial notes between brackets): بسم الله رب المجاهدين والشهداء ،،~ In the name of God, lord of martyrs and Moujahidin[no idea how to translate that] إن الرساله المراد توصيلها لكم .. The message that you are intended to receive is... إن صواريخ المقاومه قد وصلت إلى تل أبيب والقدس الغربيه المحتله وإلى جميع التجمعات الإستيطانيه القريبه من قطاع غزه .. وإن طائراتكم التي تحلق في سماء قطاع غزه لن تحلق بعد اليوم . وألياتكم التي تتحرك على طول الخط الفاصل هيه تحت مرمى ضربات المجاهدين وسُفنكم الحربيه قُبالة شواطيء غزه أصبحت تحت الإستهداف The resistance[Hezbollah]'s rockets have reached Tel Aviv and the occupied West Jerusalem and to all colonies[or colonial compounds/groupings? not sure] in the Gaza district... And your planes that fly in Gaza's airspace will not fly after today. And your tanks[or armoured vehicles] that patrol the dividing line are within reach of the moujahidin and your warships facing the beaches of Gaza are now being targeted. عليكم الإن الإختيار بين أمرين لا ثالث لهما You now have to choose between two options, you do not have a third. ( إما الرحيل عن فلسطين , أو أن تموتو على أيدي المقاومه ) Either you leave Palestine or you die at the hands of the Resistance[Hezbollah] وسنوفر لكم خدماتنا السريعه بإرسالكم للموت بطيئأً .. We will be quick in giving you a slow death[you can just imagine that guy chuckling to himself as he came up with this pun] هذا ونتمنى لكم النار منعمين فيها بإذن الله We wish you [something I don't know how to translate about fire and hell] god willing. -- I'm Lebanese, so I've met quite a few Hezbollah/Amal people, I tend to sympathise more with the Palestinans than the Israelis in general, but shit like this makes me feel sad and unsure if I want to laugh or cry at the guy who wrote it. That is, if they were being serious and this not just a troll.

      Mujahideen has entered the English vocabulary quite a while ago, so don't worry about not finding a good translation, everyone knows it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mujahideen https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mujahideen
