  they maybe used it to get entry into hezbollah supply chain, and then for monitoring aftermath

  and yeah this is a blatant lie:

  In a recent interview, the former head of the Israeli Mossad, Yossi Cohen, revealed that Israel has similar “booby-trapped and spy-manipulated equipment” in “all the countries you can imagine”.

  an attack that was a combination of supply chain infiltration, psyops (convincing hezbollah to ditch phones), surveillance (lending credence to the former), mass tampering, that got planned for a decade, took well over a half year to execute, and now will be useless because people know about it, and will try to mitigate (by looking inside), used as an one-shot chance against strategic adversary, but yeah there are thousands of phones with bombs in moldova, dude trust me

  this is propaganda fluff for israeli nationalists

    Maybe they mean backdoors in CPUs (most non-Chinese CPUs are designed partly in Israel; they have a lot of semiconductor engineers there), or other rumoured capacities (such as the alleged backdoor in airport bomb scanners that returns a false negative if the item being scanned contains a specific pattern).

  Chilling. Which of our devices are actually Israeli remote controlled bombs?

    I can’t put into words how horrible that week was. Everyone was suddenly expecting their phones, laptops, solar inverters, and even newer cars to spontaneously kill them. These things exploded out on the street, in buses, in restaurants. Even if you’ve been told all of your life these people are terrorists (and that is something I’ve definitely been told more than you have), this attack is a genuine innovation in terrorism. Utter chaos, and a complete lockdown of our weak medical infrastructure.

    The doctors were pulling shards of glass out of and had to amputate children’s eyeballs. For the crime of sitting in the wrong bus at the wrong time. I don’t care even if they were sharing a bus with Satan.

    From a comment I made about living through that week.

    All this, while simultaneously being gaslight about why BDS is “bad”
