Justified, reckless, whatever. I don’t pretend to know the ins and outs. To me though, it’s a worrying tactic.
IDF must be disappointed given their penchant for kidsYes it’s lawful warfare. 100 rockets fired this morning alone. That’s how war works, it’s shit. But 1000s of terrorists (recognised as such) now can’t see or can’t have kids or both.
Israel don't really do targeted attacks do they, as we have seen in Gaza. They'll claim there was a specific target, but they really couldn't give a flying f*ck at a rolling donut about any collateral damage that results from their rockets, bombs and missiles.Any normal person with empathy, no matter which side they sit on, should not be celebrating civilian deaths. If this were a targeted attack, this would be brilliant. But this isn't. I would have said nothing if people weren't celebrating the killing of a child.
It absolutely is as it’s so indiscriminate. Some of the pagers are doubtless used by Hezbollah but from the reports so far, many were in the possession of innocent civilians, business people and children. Terrorism has many definitions but spreading fear and terror, and a lack of concern over innocent bystanders killed or injured, are key parts of most accepted definitions.Well it’s not, by any recognised definition
It’s a long term tactic and very effective. Previously, their commanders were taken out from their phone GPS. So they switched to pagers. Now they can’t use them.Justified, reckless, whatever. I don’t pretend to know the ins and outs. To me though, it’s a worrying tactic.
By terrorists. But hey, collateral damage right. A win for the good guys!The collateral damage to this is innocent bystanders but a terrorist operation has been shut down
I’m sure Vladimir Putin thinks “normal people” should concentrate on the number of Ukrainian troops who’ve been killed rather than the number of orphanages / children’s hospitals he’s fired missiles at. Doesn’t mean we will.No verification of said childs death even from
Lebanese official channels. 500 terrorists have lost their sight and the chance to reproduce #result
Any normal person would concentrate on these facts
Jesus F-ing Christ. Have a bit of basic common decency.Was it planted explosive or a hack to make the batteries over heat? I'm having fun winding up antisemites telling them the jews are going to blow up their phones when they post.
The last two sentences are not what I said or meant, and I think you know that.By terrorists. But hey, collateral damage right. A win for the good guys!
It’s pagers we are talking about, random civilians didn’t have these pagers. They were supplied to and used by evil terrorists, who can now form a wonderful falsetto choirIt absolutely is as it’s so indiscriminate.

Eh? You really think this shuts them down? This isn't Game Over or anywhere near it.It’s a long term tactic and very effective. Previously, their commanders were taken out from their phone GPS. So they switched to pagers. Now they can’t use them.
The collateral damage to this is innocent bystanders but a terrorist operation has been shut down.
This is reckless and possibly murder of bystanders by the IDF. But they might have shut down an entire terrorism modus operandi.
nAll of this why this cannot be binary or partisan.
A short term gain at the expense of an even deeper rooted and widening sense of resentment and hatred in the region. Any idea that the Israeli government are working towards a ceasefire and an end to the conflict, is now well and truly out the window.It’s a long term tactic and very effective.

You’ve no information on the wider distribution of the pagers beyond the core intended targets. It’s obvious from the reports coming in that the victims didn’t belong to one demographic. And even if they had done, think of the ‘collateral damage’ depending on where the device was stored, or who happened to be sitting next to the owner on a bus or in the market. It’s a a truly dreadful tactic.It’s pagers we are talking about, random civilians didn’t have these pagers.
