Hundreds injured by exploding pagers in Lebanon

[Jonny Ingbar]

Israel has become a terrorist state, it's incredible that the rest of the world does nothing while Mossad and IDF carry on killing.

The "rest of the world" are not shy at calling out Israel, apart from the US and UK of course.

Geopolitical importance to the US, primarily, means that the can push the envelope more than many other states.

See also many oil states.

I'd have got with "mephistophelian"

"showing the cunning or ingenuity typical of a devil".

Bit of a harsh comparison. On Satan that is.

Anyone else feel like they are living in Blade Runner?

Head of procurement must be a bit nervous now.

Exploding walkie-talkies in Lebanon now

I'd like to hear the justification of using this pretty indiscriminate method of killing and maiming. If we call Israel a sponsor of terrorism are going to be accused of antisemitism?

Apparently one of the explosions today was at a funeral for 4 of those killed yesterday.
It is state sponsored terrorism and it needs to stop otherwise the situation in the Middle East will never have a chance of calming down.

Following this on twitter these last two days, one thing is clear. Pro Palestinian people are, in the main not blood thirsty ghouls who celebrate terrorist acts, but Zionists certainly are.

I'm guessing these pages and walkie talkies are specifically being used by Hezbollah, not generally sold in Lebanon's richer sounds equivalent.
So it's pretty much state sponsored terrorism against terrorists. Others call it war.

Not to mention the carrier pigeons who will surely be next in the firing line.

Calling out is just words, there's no meaningful action. At todays's UN General Assembly there was a Palestinian resolution
demanding that Israel end its unlawful presence in Gaza and the occupied West Bank within a year and calling for sanctions and an arms embargo against the country.

124 countries supported the proposal, 14 opposed and 43 abstained. Besides Israel, the US, Argentina, Czechia, Hungary and the mighty Fiji, Malawi, Micronesia, Nauru, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Paraguay, Tonga, and Tuvalu opposed the proposal. Among those gutless countries that abstained were UK, Germany, Ukraine, Canada, and India.

The Geneva Convention calls it a war crime. That's all that really matters.

Hezbollah might be designated as a terrorist group by the west but that only holds water if we accept any reciprocal declarations.

The Geneva Convention calls it a war crime.

Sir Geoffrey Nice KC said it might be, not is. all really depends on whether targeted at combatants or not.

Israel, Hamas and Hezbollah are all committing war-crimes in this current conflict in any event. Its a complete tragic mess with no obvious route to a peaceful resolution.

If you look at the dictionary, I would say it's pretty much the definition of terrorism.

Israeli will do anything to anyone who attacks them or shows aggression towards the country. Ingenious if they are behind this to calculate what is reported over 1000 attacks all at the same time.

They will do anything to innocent bystanders too. Netanyahu is off his box - even Biden called him nuts. This whole escapade is an exploitation to keep him in post and out of jail.

Oct 7 needs an inquiry to see who really dropped the ball. Taking folk out with exploding tech is some skills gap when they couldn't stop a cross boarder incursion by moped.

 

[zzzzz]

Hezbollah saying a red line has been crossed.
Again.
Again.

Rarely been such a toothless tiger.
No wonder the Israelis are so reckless.

They 100% knew about it. They knew about the operation but didn't know the date a year in advance. They were told by multiple sources in the 48 hours preceding it that was imminent.
They knew it was happening and allowed it to happen, deciding that the lives of it's own people were a fair sacrifice to pay to legitimise its genocide and their ultimate goal of lebensraum in the middle east.
