Israel murders another kid again.

    In this analogy it’s just a city bus. They killed civilians with this attack, I’m not sure if you realize. Unless you think the 10 year old girl was a hardened Hezbollah soldier.

    And yes, it’s better, but not good. Especially since they’re not even at war with Lebanon right now. They’re just trying to expand the conflict to keep the US in a forever war to justify their genocide and so Netanyahu never has to account for his crimes.

      A City bus doesn’t actually fit the analogy. Israel didn’t randomly distribute explosive pagers to anyone. They went to a terrorist organization.

        They blew up the pagers without knowing where they would be, who they would be next to, or who would be holding them. That’s how the children died. It was really cool how cyberpunk it was, but it wasn’t precisely targeted at all. It’s like blowing up a city bus because you’re pretty sure a Hezbollah member is in it but don’t care about collateral damage at all.

          These weren’t bus size explosions, you could be in an elevator with someone wearing the pager and survive.

            Just a little light crippling, don’t worry about the other 2700 other people that suddenly need the hospital, oh wait, some bombs went off there as well!

          I understand you want to derail the discussion, but Hezbollah decided to attack Israel right after Hamas had their little excursion, before Israel launched their offensive in response
