Because I'm a sad little gay boy with a crazy mommy, duh. You want someone with daddy issues, hit up the lesbian breakfast bistro over by the Lowe's.
I ask again, how does that straw man relate to the comparison of land mines to exploding communication devices?
You know that for certain because any reference to 10/7 is missing?The "resistance" of which it speaks is the 10/7 atrocity.Oh I see.Of the signs in that picture I can read there is only one that is not effectively endorsing the 10/7 atrocity.If you skew the meaning of "justice" and "human rights" to fit some eccentric definition no one else uses, then the only calls for justice and upholding human rights you will acknowledge are your own. And if you say that apartheid is justice and ethnic cleansing is upholding human rights, then you can claim that Netanyahu, Smotrich, Ben Gvir, and their allies are standing on the moral high ground while Jews for Peace and Médecins Sans Frontières are stanning for genocide.Another photo from the 10/8 protest:
Of course, that only works in Alice's Wonderland, not irl where words have meanings everyone shares.
Do you endorse atrocity? If not, why do you think those protesters are on the side of justice and human rights?
In your mind, when someone says "Resistance against occupation is a human right" they're "effectively endorsing" an atrocity.
This from a guy who less than one hour ago said Israel successfully threw off its oppressors and attacks get worse when victims leave their abusers.
I'm sure there was logic behind it, but I see this as a potential troll by the Israelis. I'm not saying that it is a bad thing. Do you need to be defensive about every observation made regarding Israel?Because the charges were in the ballpark of 10 grams. Moderate firecracker range, although with a higher detonation velocity.I heard that they bought the pagers from Boeing.
That said, the death toll and the number injured seems awfully maldistributed. Is Hezbollah not indicating deaths among their ranks and only civilian related collateral damage? Because otherwise, 12 or so including civilians killed seems awfully low. Especially for the alleged number hurt. Yes, I get they exaggerate these numbers, but the death toll isn't is the same ballpark (or even sport) as the number hurt.
And why do you think they didn't have reason to think phones were a problem?
This is one of the reasons I think Israel planted the info out there. It isn't as if Israel could get into the supply chain that quickly.
Yes, it created a blackout, which was the setup for the next phase.
The oddity in your statement is you are claiming almost the exact same thing of the Palestinians and Lebanese.
I think that's "THEY STARTED IT!" comes in.
To say that something failed means that success was a possibility. Rather, consider the case of the black tag girl. Yes, it very well might be an urban legend but if it happened it would have played out as described. The rescuers saw that she had injuries incompatible with continued life, black tagged her and went on to look for people they could save. That was not a failure, that was a recognition that it was impossible.
You aren't replying to what I said at all.
Very true. I expect the same disproportionate response that Bibi has leveled at Gazans. The Hamas atrocity gave the Hezzies an excuse to upgrade their harassment, and at the end of the day Bibi needs his immediate enemy in order to stay in power. Hezbollah is a good one because Iran will keep them a viable enemy for a long time to come.
How is it disproportionate? Israel has been targeting Hezbollah fighters, commanders as well as rocket launchers and storehouses. All perfectly proportionate responses to incessant rocket attacks.
But had Hezbos not started lobbing missiles into Israel since last October, there would be no reason for Israel to go in.
Which is why Iran should have been handled much earlier, during the Obama administration at the latest.
It's not Bibi's fault that his country got attacked.
No, there hasn't been anything "understandable" about this atrocity whatsoever. And the "settlers" excuse won't hunt. There have not been any Israeli settlers in Gaza since 2005. Besides, Hamas considers all Israelis as "settlers" because they want to destroy Israel and take over its land.
But they are also often prosecuted. Certainly far more often that Palestinians who attack Jews are prosecuted by the PA. Instead, PA pays them "pay to slay" stipends and particularly notorious ones get put on street signs and buildings.
I agree with you there. There was no excuse for Hezbos attacking Israel.
Why "certainly not" C4? What do you think it was?
You’re putting words in my mouth. I did not say that I excuse hamas. They are are bandit thugs. But I understand their motivation. They want to kill Israelis and steal their land. But this thread is about Israel’s attack on hezbollah. Not Hamas. Hezbos attacked Israel on October 8 for no reason but to cause chaos. If they don’t want Israeli attacks on them: stop firing missiles into Israel! Pretty damn simple.
It was an anti-Israel protest a day after 10/7. 10/7 did not have to be mentioned explicitly.
Yes it does. The day after 10/7, Israel was bombing Gaza. Hence there are multiple possibly valid interpretations as to what is being reference. It is entirely possible that different flag wavers were referencing different things. I don't dismiss that there were supporters of Hamas and terroristm but I don't dismiss that there were protesters who are supporting the Gazan civilians and their struggle to remain alive and uninjured. Just like I don't dismiss that there those who support Israel who root for genocide and I don't dismiss that there supporters of Israel who don't root for genocide.
Why is the Iran/Israel conflict any of our business? If Israel wants to take out the Iranian government, I say go for it. But to me, there are no goods guys anywhere in this situation.
