Hezbollah pagers blowing up...

[rylah]

Thread Nazi. That’s a new one. Stupid even by traditional “standards” of you libs.

It's not only pagers,

brains are frying...

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

What if my wife had been visiting family in Lebanon, perhaps strolling through the markets and a man's pager detonated next to her and blinded her because the Israelis had triggered it to do so.

You actually condone that?

Then she would have gone despite our state department telling all Americans not to travel to Lebanon, because of danger from Lebanese terrorists and an ongoing, armed conflict.

In other words, she would have accepted that risk before going.

Israel still hunts former Nazis how the hell did Hezbollah or Hamas think this would go well?

They were confident Israel couldn’t reach them

To be candid up front: it is a simple truth that I mostly take issue with stuff said by Fort Fun. But in this case, I agree with him.

When my wife and I plan some future trips, we make a point of crossing off any war zones.

A girl was supposedly killed and you’re happy about this. Fucking psycho.

12 young children aged 1-9 killed by Hamas!
Additionally, 12 children aged 1 to 9 — 10 boys and two girls — were murdered in the Hamas massacres, according to Walla. Between the ages of 10 and 19, 36 civilians were murdered, 25 of them male and 11 female. The largest number of confirmed civilian victims, 421, were in the age group of 20-40.

14 kids under 10, 25 people over 80: Up-to-date breakdown of Oct 7 victims we know about

Age, gender data for most civilian victims of Hamas onslaught, based on media tally, provides a picture authorities aim to complete as they continue efforts to identify bodies

Genius

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

My contention is supported by evidence, facts logic and the meaning of words.

Yours is dishonest.

Is the because you define "terrorism" based on the identity of the perpetrator?

 

[Billiejeens]

Or maybe all their lithium batteries overheated at the same time?

Hope that's not it.

 

[Rawley]

Except this wasn’t terrorism.

Yes. I reject false premises. They make for crappy arguments.

More. I deny your false premise.

I’d love for you to learn that words have actual meaning despite your strained efforts to create false equivalencies.

The fail is all over you.

ThIs is fucking awesome!

 

[rightwinger]

Hope that's not it.

That is the only way I could see making a pager explode on command

Try to be rational.

Terrorism has a meaning. Apparently you don’t know or you simply don’t understand that meaning.

I’m actually a much more fair minded person than my USMB persona may have you thinking. Ergo, I shall accord you a chance to get back on solid ground:

Maybe, by referencing an unbiased dictionary, you would be willing to define the word “terrorism” for all of us.

If you cannot or will not do that, let me know. I can help.

But you are retarded,
so there is that.

Unless you made the pagers and supplied them.

Or found the middle man and intervened.

The pager is focused. It attacks the person holding it. Now, if she were engaged in a lip lock with him, that's about the only way she would be harmed.

The collateral damage we are seeing is pagers that were on tables and the like, so secondary missile effect.

And, once again, you lay down with dogs and you are sure to get fleas.

OK so I think that's a "no" to my question, rather a lot of words used to say that, but still.

OK so whether an act is terrorism does NOT depend upon which actors commits the act, good, we agree on that at least.

So what does it depend on then?

What if your daughter was a Thai national, dancing at a peace festival in Israel?????

Have you been able to look up the actual definition of “terrorism,” yet?

Or do you require assistance? I can help.

 

[westwall]

No, it's not like that.

Provably false

Some real smart people. Devised a system that is as close to pinpoint accuracy as you could have hoped.
