    You: an eye for an eye makes the world blind

    Also you: well war isn’t that bad, it’s war crimes that are bad!

    Also, failing reading comprehension again, but to be fair English is your second language. I said Netanyahu and co., as in company, as in also the defense minister. Yes, that would manage to stop the genocidal war, because the rabid leadership that wants it would be dead, and politically they would have to scramble in order to maintain majority coalition.

    How is that even remotely comparable to sending off bombs to be exploded in population centers with children?

    For someone in the military you really don’t seem to understand how modern warfare works, at all. A lot of modern warfare is urban now, not in fields - you know, places where non-combatants are. This is why Finland also offers civilian support training as an option for the mandatory regimen - such as learning how to build defences in city streets. **Even regular war occurs where there are children in modern times.**Even in ancient times. Hence, war is war. Children die in war, and your thick ass skull doesn’t seem to get the root issue is war itself. War crimes are the ugliest thing of war, but war itself is already terrible.

    Secondly, this wasn’t just “sending off bombs to be exploded”. This was a directed supply chain attack - it’s not like grenades or rockets were just launched at city streets. They specifically infiltrated Hezbollah, convinced then to use Walkie Talkies and gave them tainted ones, that seemed to have also been tapped , then convinced them to use pagers as an extra precaution and gave them tainted ones too, then detonated those first rather than the walkie talkies to make them think the first form of communication was safe, then the walkie talkies. These were items designed to be carried around by the enemy, not indiscriminate bombing, and designed to disrupt and slow down their comms. Even without killing, it has incapacitated a huge amount of the enemy, and made them easier to identify by cross referencing hospital records with other Intel.

    That is vastly different than what you imply. This if anything resulted in the least amount of casualties, considering the enemy combatants are mostly non-uniformed, and rarely attack directly in a front line.

    Could you come up with a better way to deal with a zealot theocratic group also intent on genocide that fires missiles remotely and indiscriminately constantly at the general population that isn’t directly starting a war in another country? Of course, you’ll ignore this question just like every other thing I brought up that’s extremely inconvenient for you to answer.

    That’s why I also brought up Finland and the Nazis - the Nazis just happen to be fighting the Soviets at the time didn’t make the Nazis good, did it? Same here with Mossad fighting Hezbollah.

      Warcrimes are warcrimes.

      Ukraine isn’t a bad nation for defending itself against Russia.

      Israel is a garbage nation for the pathetic attacks they commit and the genocides they pull.

      “I said AND COMPANY”

      No you didn’t, and we’re on Lemmy, where it’s beyond simple to look at your edit history

      For someone in the military you really don’t seem to understand how modern warfare works, at all

      Or maybe you’re an arrogant child, speaking out of their ass?

      I’ve actually had training on fighting urban warfare. Training which included international law that’s related.

      Have you?

      No. All you’ve done is suck the fat dick of Israeli propaganda. If you had the knowledge that I do, you’d cringe at pathetic these attempts at “rhetoric” are.

      Israel is doing crimes against humanity.

      it’s not like grenades or rockets were just launched at city streets

      No, this was way less targeted. Israel had zero idea who would end up near the devices even in the completely imaginary scenario where their information is perfect and every pager goes to Hezbollah, as you won’t be able to know where the bombs are when you detonate them.

      Cry more. No excuses for Israeli CRIMES.

      Weird how international law experts agree with me — a person who received even rudimentary info on international law — and not with any of you pushing the “Israel did nothing wrong” side.

      Isn’t that weird? Almost as if all you’ve got is propaganda and lies.

      https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/9/18/do-lebanon-explosions-violate-the-laws-of-war

      We got actual laws (which Israel has agreed to, as a member of the UN)

      Oh and I’m not ignoring any your third-grade rhetoric because it’s “hard to answer”, but because I’m all out of accommodating children for the week. Seeing you being serious with your rhetoric, with that level of rhetoric? I can’t even describe it, really. I mean, do you know the feeling you get when you watch toddlers imitating adults, really earnestly? They’re all serious in the face, they don’t understand how cute and silly they’re being? That’s how I feel about your rhetoric. You don’t understand how simple and childish it is.
