This business involving the
Hezbollah pagers simultaneously exploding and hurting thousands is equal parts intriguing and terrifying.
I'm astounded this is the only post in this thread to mention this.
It should be noted that although Israel and it's cheerleaders are claiming the pagers all belonged to Hezbollah operatives, there are no independent sources that can confirm this. In fact, there are mounting accounts that many innocent civilians and healthcare operatives are the ones to have been injured. These things went off in moving cars (which obviously renders the vehicle out of control, if only temporary) markets, etc.
Agree.. my post was right after it happened, and a lot more is known 24+ hours later. Media was definitely at first emphasizing it was (only) an attack on Hezbollah but it certainly appears that there was a considerable amount of collateral damage.
The idea that a government can tamper with a shipment of products like this is fucking scary. It should NEVER happen.
Anyway. This kind of government-sponsored terror is on-brand for the Israeli government at the moment. Netanyahu has got to fucking go.
