    Idk if this is creepy. There is nothing mysterious to it, its just a horrible act of terrorism that mostly affected civilians with some militants caught in the spray.

        I’m really sorry, but I’m not sympathising with anyone, but this method of attack is straight up terrorism, and you’d be agreeing if it had been perpetrated by al queda, Hezbollah or Hamas, and was a Pandora’s box of future terrorism that the western world will now have to live with.

        Acknowledging that some actions are terrible and unacceptable even when they are being done by ‘our own side’ is a decent society is able to do.

          Yeah, because they target innocent civilians. Maybe understand the difference in targets. You people are literal terrorist simps.

            But it will be done by those groups now. Because Israel opened this tactic up.

              If terrorists wanted to do this, while having the capabilities to do so, they would have done so already. This is probably the dumbest argument made in this entire thread so far, congrats.

                I assume you are just trolling but could you point out which part of what i wrote is “propaganda”?

                Or are you one of those “alternative facts” people?

                    Well no, its actual fact (as far as currently publicly known). These were not magical devices that only exploded if a terrorist held them. These were devices in the hands of everyone because they were sold and distributed to everyone and they exploded in crowded cities, in stores, wherever they were at the time. We already know for a fact that multiple innocents were killed and just by understanding how an explosive works, we know that even if the devices were held by militants, there would always be more collateral than targeted damage when they explode in the middle of a city. This is simply how the IDF operates, the moral judgement for that you can make yourself.

                    As a side note, according to the NYT the shell company that made these bombs for israel also sold them to lots of other people. Ofcourse they claim that those ones didnt contain any explosives but we just kind of have to believe that.

        Ok, because to care for civilians we have to support terrorists ignoring the fact that bombing people with pagers is quite literally terrorism.

            What are you basing that on aside from your fragile fragile feelings.

                You’re acting on your feelings about me alone, uninformed ones at that and you’re clearly quite fragile, so yes fragile feelings.

            Well they killed two of them, that’s two too many. If you want to assassinate someone, make sure you kill the target and not innocents.

              Sure, but two out of 2762? Big whoop. That’s a minuscule collateral as far as war goes, much less than what would be the result of air strikes like in Gaza.

                It was two out of twelve deaths, and 276 wounded. And that’s not an act of war, Israel is not at war with Lebanon. That’s just state sponsored terrorism.

                    The explosions happened in Lebanon and Syria, both of which are sovereign states and not at war with Israel.

                    I would mostly because Israelis don’t support the war, Zionists do which are the minority in the country, not the majority.

                    But thanks for trying!
