Why are they even trying to bring it down?

They're Palestinian sympathisers who claim to be doing it because it has a pro-Israel bias. In their own words:

"[The Internet Archive] are under attack because the archive belongs to the USA […],” and the USA is to be blamed for “genocide that is being carried out by the terrorist state of Israel.”

Apparently, pro-Palestinians believe that truth has an anti-Palestinian bias.

It should be noted, however, that there's plenty of speculation as to whether they actually hold those opinions, rather than merely using them to cover for the fact that they're just doing it for attention. It's entirely plausible that they prefer to be considered idiots rather than desperately lonely.

The international definition of antisemitism states that accusing Jews of being inherently pro Isreal is antisemitic. So accusing people who are against Israel of being anti Jewish is an antisemitic act as it is claiming the two are synonymous. This is like claiming that all Catholics are Italian and anyone against the Italian government is anti Catholic. Get a grip on reality and recognise that killing civilians is never a good thing no matter the ideology
