So, what Israel is admitting here, is that they could individually pinpoint and target Hamas but instead carpet bombed Palestine into genocide.

If this was the other way around, we'd have global outrage, days of mourning and piles of new weapons for Israel right now. We'd be speaking about one of the worst terrorist attacks in history.

Oh look, terrorism.

Five years ago, if you had asked me if Israel would be committing terrorist attacks across Palestine, Lebanon and beyond, I would have said absolutely not.

I would have been wrong, even back then, but jesus fucking christ, what an absolute shambles.

How my government supports this state-sponsored terrorism is beyond me.

Call it for what it is, a terrorist attack.

The media condemned political violence against Trump in unison one month ago.

Israel commits one of the biggest terrorist attacks against a Lebanese political organization in history and the media claps.

Lotta Hezbollah flags in that crowd, was that some kind of funeral procession from yesterday’s pagers?

This is a super-villain plan becoming a reality.

If this carries on, we'll have exploding semaphore flags by the end of the week.

Shit, we use the same radios at work. Hope no-one blew up.

I saw this on Reddit first while I was checking my city subreddit, damn the headline there definitely gives a different impression.

(The comments are all mostly jokes, didn't even bother wading through them and came to see If Lemmy had a thread instead).

Someone tell them the Palm Pilots aren't safe either

So if I understand correctly, Israel managed to get a bunch of people in Hezbollah to use pagers and walkie talkies that contained bombs. But they have not been able to gather enough intelligence from control of those communication devices to find and rescue the remaining hostages? And if they weren’t able to catch useful information from those devices, why did the people holding those devices deserve to get blown up?
