    Hezbollah was using commercial grade pagers because they’re a militia. The purpose of pagers are to contact them when their off duty. Many of these pagers blew up in homes, grocery stores, and other public places. Many civilians were killed and most people injured were bystanders.

        from what i can recall, and from the stats i’ve seen,

        From what you can recall? I’m sorry, but I watched some of those videos, and I will not forget them. I cannot imagine what it must have been like to just be shopping in a supermarket when the person next to you has their legs suddenly blown off 3 feet from you.

        It’s terrorism, plain and simple.

        only 12 civilians

        Yeah dude. “Only.”’ You’re right though, I guess Israel really has raised the bar when it comes to indiscriminate murder of civilians. Those are rookie numbers.

          When your enemy disperses themselves among the civilian population?

          This killed way less civilians than a traditional bombing that would have got the same Hezbollah fighters would have.

            It’s funny how Israel made it a “normal” thing, to use firearms and explosives around civilians for the purpose of getting rid of, what they call, bad guys.

            Imagine mass-shooting in a public school where a kid tries to hunt down other kids who bullied him for the past few years. Oh wait…

            Obviously, bomb the grocery stores and the shopping malls, then blame the people you were targeting for the collateral murder.

            FFS, I’m old enough to remember when Obama drone striking a teenage boy was considered at least mildly controversial for liberals. Now cluster bombing a flea market is the new gold standard for Ethical Warfare.

            this is relatively recent, and i barely care about the IP conflict at large, let alone some millitia in fucking lebanon. All i know is that pagers fucking exploded lmao.

            why are you deciding to weigh in on a topic that you’re not invested in and don’t even claim to know anything about?

          You really should look up the definition of terrorism some time. If Hamas were the primary target, it’s not.
