    It doesn’t matter who you are, if the Israeli government gives you -of all things- a pager, you give that shit back.

    On a more serious note, I’m sure Mossad is laughing their asses off on how easy it is to spy on Trump

    Perfect item for a listening device.

    Hand delivered to the guy who hates protocols and regulations and loves gold shit from the 80s.

    There’s a good chance he’ll just stick this in his desk in the oval office.

    I’m 100% serious.

    It’s insane on too many fronts… I mean off the bat it’s an insanely weird gift, half illegal… and I guess it’s also a reference to a warcrime?

      it shows how insane the country is becoming

      we’re openly celebrating war crimes and ethnic cleansing

      like, before they would beat around the bush. you know the dog whistles. “anti-antisemitism” “self-defense” etc

      once the need for the mask is not so strong, the mask starts to slip

        Gotta admit, that would be the most hilarious assasination of all time.

        “umm… yeah so we gave him a gift of a technology that america doesn’t even use… of which the only way most people in america even remember they exist, is because we turned a bunch of them into bombs… But it’s gold plated and tacky looking which trump can’t resist, so we know he’ll wear it openly on his next press conference”.

      And is this one the exploding kind as well, or just a fake knock off? You wouldn’t want to anger Trump by offering a broken, incomplete copy, right

          And If I proved they were doing preciesely that would it fucking matter to you? Hezbollah is a “Palestinian” Iranian funded terrorist group that has killed thousands of Jews in Israel, and decided to get involved in the Gaza conflict, warned not to, by raining missiles down on north Israel, and it’s fucking children. Facing thousands more missles, Israel acted by targeting those that carried HEzbollah pagers, no one else. If you are allowing Hezbollah fighters to walk about in your communities, and aren’t killing them yourself, and are allowing them close enough to your children, while they raining down missiles at Israel that’s insane. Israel are allowed to celebrate their victories over their enemies, that have sworn through word and deed, and blood, to end them. Don’t join a terrorist group threatening Israeli CHILDREN, don’t allow a terrorist group shooting missiles at Israeli children around your children or anyone esle you care about, they are fucking targets, and they will be eliminated before they can kill one more Isreali child. also as a side note, stay out of the pilling on comment business, you’re not at ti

            Read the original comment you responded to again. You only care about one ethnic group’s children. That’s pretty fucked up

            It’s impossible to believe you care about children while you are defending the mass murder of Palestinian children. It’s just another excuse to justify your bloodlust.

      Because I was terrorized and not some Americans or Europeans so it’s cool. The Empire is fine, go back to work.

      Imagine driving down the road and everyone affiliated with one gang just has their phone explode. While they’re driving, sitting in buses, walking down the road or eating at a local restaurant with their family. Wouldn’t you be so relieved to see them all die morbid deaths? Wouldn’t the screams of their children and their careening vehicles as well as the panicking normal people trying to break their way out of bus windows warm your heart? They were in gangs or something, this is a good thing! 🥰🥰

      And the mass hysteria right after, 48 hours of people thinking their phones, computers, CPAP machines, solar inverters, cars, wireless devices, and basically anything with a power button could imminently explode. Like we don’t have other problems.

      And then you go online and enough people are smug about it, even on Lemmy (a rare decent space online), that you genuinely lose some remnant of respect for the average person. I’ve been online for almost two decades now, I’ve seen and gotten used to how mean it could be, but this event broke something and I’ve actually cried over nothing more than expressions of callousness online that weren’t even directed at me.

      It’s kind of funny. As Lebanese people we are pretty damn racist and judgmental, we think we’re some forgotten actually-European country that’s not like all those countries, I could write a whole essay on why deep down we culturally feel more white than any western white person. But then things like this happen, and everyone pretends you’re in rural Afghanistan and always have been, and worse still, that you deserve it on some level.

      Which now just makes me wonder how they feel in Afghanistan.
