Comment on Lebanon’s health minister says 8 killed, 2,750 wounded by exploding pagers

  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?

    At a certain point it stops being worth it. If sending a brainwashed 11 yo to blow up a checkpoint means you can no longer trust having any technology near you, your family and friends it might cause hesitation.

      Wishful thinking, they aren’t fighting because they want to. Noone likes violence.

        Ah, you see it from Israel’s POV. Interesting.

    Is there any time of day it’s not atrocious? Seems like any time would have basically equal risk for collateral casualties.

    To be effective it all had to be at once. It seems that they waited until the pagers were being used to coordinate a fresh wave of rocket attacks with promises of more to come before setting them off.

      Then maybe it shouldn’t be done at all.

        Maybe all an army has to do to take over the entire world is being their families to the front. Can’t shoot back at them because their families are there. So they pretty much win every engagement. Problem solved. No more wars.

      Because that time of day is when the most people will be out in public. It seems deliberately designed to cause as much damage as widely as possible. Likely to cause fear in the population.

  Jews and cops are always in the wrong on this platform.

    There you go conflating Jews and Israel. Apart from that you have an arguable point.

      Israelis and cops just doesn’t sound as snappy.

        It’s less antisemitic though. Please don’t conflate Jewish people with Israel, it’s caused enough problems as it is.
