I’ll save you time. Compromised licensed factory in Europe, making Chinese beepers, was compromised or owned by Israel. They then put explosives in the pagers and set them to explode when paged a certain code.

They knew hezbollah was the purchaser, and would disperse them amongst its members.

I think its stupid unless it stopped some imminent horrible attack. Otherwise, Israel has given themselves away, and only killed 8 people for it. Maybe they had trouble rigging them to steal their communications.

Oh so everyone there who had a pager must have been a bad guy. Got it, solid logic. Can’t wait for the war to spread further.

As does america have non-combat elements too.

Its not rocket science how they did it. What is the impressive part? Are we really just going to say civilians don’t matter? Is it impressive to you because of how many people were hurt?

In no way is it required to respect the craft or the method.

National order isnt based on tit for tat. If someone commits a war crime against you it doesnt mean you get to do it too.

In my opinion the time of day they chose to blow them shows they wanted as much collateral damage as they could.

What’s the advantage of making excuses for committing war crimes?

Because anyone within 5 meters of the pager also was hurt.

Because that one party autocracy wants to fuck off from the rest of the world.

If they wiped out Israel there would still be Jews.

I’d honestly like to hear the councilman’s version of events, as in what he actually intended to do.

That said I agree with you it should likely be intent regardless of what you meant to do with it.

My guess would be he would argue he was just brandishing, or was aiming at the car.

I don’t like people being so casual with guns, its disturbing how widespread it is.

I see what you mean thats very insightful.

I was mainly wondering if there were laws in some states that explicitly state some sort of racism in the letter of the law.

Thats not to say thats a requirement to believe the things you said, I just thought at the very least racist laws were more indirect in how they are racist.

Sorry I meant that more as a generalization, its in these comments a ton.

I agree with you except there is no such thing as common sense. Everyone has to learn every single thing they know, none of it was a given. I don’t like saying common sense gun handling because it implies its so obvious it doesnt need to be taught, and it also detracts from the real answer which is removing guns from the public.

If you are pretty hungry thats all doable for sure! For like an average size meal I’d do one crunchwrap or three tacos.

They let you add on pretty much whatever too so I just pick the cheapest tacos and burritos and make them supreme myself. I get a bean and rice burrito, fresco (replaces dairy and meat with pico de gallo), add fries/potatoes inside, add jalapeños, and lettuce. Comes up to like 3.50 or 4.00 for it.

All the other fast food places prices around me make taco bell look like a fantastic deal, I’ll say that.

I’d argue they focus too little on the first 8 and too much on the last 2. Both would be an error in analysis of course.

Also it runs the risk of people applying statistics to individual cases, or groups too small to be statistically relevant.

Just bite the bullet already and say you don’t care.

Sort of like how a terrorist group killed a bunch of americans in new York, and then americans went to war with those terrorists, for the most part working with the local government and civilians.

Do you see how you can be at ear with a group rather than a nation?

Okay sure, thats likely the perspective he had. Its not the only one that exists though.

Share your drugs with the rest of us please.

The worlds middleman.

I think the only counter argument really is that if you protest like that, you can’t protest again in the future, usually.

I would hope that he could have done more net good with the remaining 80 years of his life if he had dedicated it to the causes he believes in.

They also run the risk of there being zero coverage when it happens, which makes it a regrettable decision. I didnt hear about the second person who did this, just the first and third.

Is killing civilians during war bad or not? Why?
