When Israel commits terrorism, it is celebrated. Talking about.

And in a further twist of irony, the identities of Hezbollah members are being exposed in the viral videos of the blast attacks and the injured being carried into hospitals. The identities of Hezbollah members in Lebanon is a closely held secret. So all these viral videos and photos is providing a trove of evidence for identifying them, which will help to capture or eliminate them at some point in the future.

Checkmate.

This is pretty clearly one of the most successful military/intelligence operations in history.

People will be reading about this 100 years from now.

How is this different from Oct 7?

Are you that thick? Over 1000 Pagers bought by hezbollah all exploded at the same time. I mean it really just take one second to understand what happened

And distributed to children?

This isn't good. Could you imagine if Lebanon did this to the US?

Because it was an atrocity committed by those in power...

You don’t know if Israel did this. Maybe it was someone else?

You have no idea.

Agree.

It is only speculation at this point, that the Israelis did this.

Because it targeted combatants (as defined by international law) of a group that is in a state of armed conflict with Israel.

Textbook military/intelligence operation. Unlike Gaza.

Seriously? This is international law 101.

Short answer: The pager operation attacked combatants of an enemy organization in a state of conflict. Civilian casualties were minimal.

October 7th directly targeted civilians of a nation not at war.

Two entirely different animals from a legal/moral perspective.

Not at war? By what definition? The settlements represent a steady and consistence incursion on another people.

Just because the US and Israel refuse to recognize these people as a country doesn't mean they aren't one...

You don’t get to invent legal definitions out of whole cloth. There was a ceasefire in place on 10/6.

But even were that not the case, 10/7 constituted a war crime because it targeted civilians as its primary objective.

Israel’s pager attack did not. Textbook “clean” warfare.

This is disgusting. Has our president or either candidate made a statement yet?

Oh sure, just like Israel’s “precision” bombing in Gaza!

Call them what you will. Team Israel seems claims no one has evidence that Israel did this (despite multiple reports suggesting an unnamed US official confirmed that Israel told the US that this was their operation). Yet, team Israel is also claiming that only Hezbollah officials were hit in this attack. How can you be so sure? You trust the Israeli government?

Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. (Imagine the Joker laughing)....

Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha.

Our candidates dare not speak out against the Sith Lord Bibi. To do so would be political suicide. The American people see what is happening though. However, The Sith Lord has presented them with two choices - two choices who refuse to question his world order. We merely have the illusion of choice on issues affecting the lives of millions of people - we are steered like cattle to focus on the same 3-7 issues that we've been directed to observe in this country for the past 30 years. It's almost comical what a playbook this is.
