    When ISIS bombs a public area, they’re doing it to kill civilians. The target of this pager operation was clearly the people carrying the pagers.

    I do agree there was some collateral, but it’s difficult to get any more targeted on this scale.

      Last week I murdered an entire family of people across the street and started living in their house. One of their relatives came over and was all angry so I had to kill him and his entire family (human shields) because I needed to feel safe in my own home.

      This is very complicated and you’re stupid if you don’t recognize that I’ve lived here since before I was born.

        Bombing a police station because there’s a chance one of the cops might try to arrest me.

        Bombing the court house so there’s no place for my trial.

        Bombing the mayor’s Special Committee On Investigating City Bombings to cover my trail.

        Bombing the local field office of the newspaper that’s writing a report on all these bombings.

        More people are saying I’m the bad guy, but this is just adding the number of people I have to add to my list of future bomb targets.

          And to be 1000% clear: Israel deserved October 7; they deserve a thousand of them.

          Gaza doesn’t excuse October 7th

          Yes it does. Just like every white person ever killed in a slave revolt. Just like every nazi killed in the Warsaw uprising.

          And I count you among them.

            Reporter: [REDACTED]
            Reason: Violence

            Good luck with that, reporter: Palestinian right of armed resistance

            [UN] General Assembly resolution A/RES/38/17 (22/11/1983) stated that it “Reaffirms the legitimacy of the struggle of peoples for their independence, territorial integrity, national unity and liberation from colonial domination, apartheid and foreign occupation by all available means, including armed struggle”.

          I and this baby I murdered with my bare hands are exactly moral equivalents to each other. I broke into this child’s house and murdered their entire family. That doesn’t justify them feebly striking me with their soft baby fists. Nor does that attack on me justify how I murdered this helpless child with an ice pick. There are no good guys here.

          If you’re not condemning the helpless baby I murdered in terms as strong (or honestly more strong they are brown after all) terms as you condemn me, you’re exactly as evil as “the innocent” brown child I just watched choke on blood because I punctured their little baby lungs.

          People always act like I’m the bad guy just because I murdered an entire family and stole their home, and just because I’m infinitely bigger and stronger than the little baby, and because the little baby can only put up a token resistance to me killing them and everyone related to them. Just because they’re the ‘underdog’?? They lost fair and square! It’s just so complicated! The baby kicked me in the crib with it’s little baby feet while I was getting ready to stab it with my ice pick and make it bleed to death! It’s a cycle of violence, not a genocide! I’m not a nazi! It’s complicated!

      Do it at night when people are going to bed. Send out a message to get people to check their pagers, then detonate them. There’s still a chance of collateral, but it’d be significantly lower than detonating them when people will be out in public at the cost of what I imagine would be a slightly lower chance of hitting targets.

      they could’ve easily just targeted specific individuals (heads of staff, an ambassador apparently) instead of everyone with the pager. it would’ve been much more responsible to know who and where

        They did target a specific individual - the Iranian ambassador in Lebanon. Everyone else was collateral damage.
