International Hezbollah pager explosions kill dozens and injure thousands in Lebanon

[Fossor]

If they are celebrating the attack I assume they are a different religious, national and/or ethnic group.

Wrong, they are Syrians. They are Muslims, Arabs, and closer to the Lebanese than the Americans are to the Canadians.

Syrian Sunni muslims have beef with Lebanese shia due to their support for Assad.

 

[Fossor]

As far as is known they had no control over where these devices were detonated or in precisely whose possession.

Wrong again. Devices were sold to and used by Hezbollah members. Civilians don't use pagers, nither military walkie-talkies.
32 terrorists dead, 400 blinded, 2000 injured. Can you name another operation with less collateral damage?

 

[terrapin]

Mostly maim them without knowing who they are.

If Hezbollah had done this to a Western ally it would be seen as flagrant terrorism.

It is terrorism.

So? Same religion, same Arabs, same region.

Civilians absolutely still use pagers and walkie talkies, and we don't know from those numbers of dead and injured whom were civilians.
Of those 32 dead last I checked two were children, and 2 were health workers.

OK, you're a waste of time. Thanks.

Wrong again. Start counting.

No.

Even though I often disagree with the decisions made in terms of "acceptable collateral damage", the drone attacks at least have visual target selection and choose the time and place.
Nor do they involve booby trapping devices which are just civilian infrastructure.

How can one be this misinformed ?

 

[Fossor]

Which one of you is this vegan ginger?

Let's be fair, Israel has been the victim.

On Oct 7, they were the victim.

In other events, also a victim.

But for the vast majority of the past year, they have been neither the victim, nor had a valid claim of 'self defence'. It has been one continual, inexcusable massacre.

Now they're randomly blowing shit up with next to no oversight because they were worried they'd get found out.

That's about as far from victimhood as you can possibly get.

Fucking LOL.

The Palestinians are the victims. The Lebanese are the victims.

Israel is a colonizer and a rogue state. Your zionist narrative is done. Noone beleives it anymore except the ruling elites.

 

[Koya]

If they are celebrating the attack I assume they are a different religious, national and/or ethnic group. Not exactly a shortage of that anywhere in the ME.
Not feeling any sympathy for Hezbollah, but these attacks are too indiscriminate to be justifiable for me.

Yep, they are Sunni and Hezbollah are Shia. They are at war for 15 years in Syria now.

Wrong, they are Syrians. They are Muslims, Arabs, and closer to the Lebanese than the Americans are to the Canadians.

Where did he say they are not Syrians ? They are indeed a different religious group, they're Sunni Syrians who suffered at the hands of Hezbollah during the civil war.

Fun fact: they hate Israel more than Hezbollah does, for all the crimes they did in the region the last 75 years. You know that the guy before you was right but couldn't admit it.

You haven't been paying attention if you're now claiming I'm a Zionist.

Jesus Christ, lad, park your raging anger somewhere else.

Fair. Let me clarify.

The zionist narrative that Israel is a victim is dead.

Less than you, though.

[Andy Capp]

Oh sorry, I would definitely disagree with that take. The influence is largely from Americans, both Jewish and gentile, who sincerely support Israel as well as the strength of the Zionist lobby which does a good job of toppling smaller politicians who don't tow the line. But that lobbying is funded and carried out by Americans.

If it was so easy for foreign governments to influence America why can't the Gulf states achieve the same level of support from the US despite having more money? Its because there isn't genuine support for them among the US population like there is for Israel.

Maybe so.

USA is also generically not a victim, but it is at times. 9-11 being the best and most obvious example.

Doctors, firefighters and EMT's use pagers.
