This is primarily a call to learn about the history of the conflict.
Palestinian political strategy and tactics have been moderately successful at best, IMHO. It’s worth knowing about them and their history. Black September and the role of Palestinian groups in the Lebanese civil war are also worth learning about to better understand the current situation.
What a novel revelation!
What internal law was violated? https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/customary-ihl/v1
Please point out the war crime you mean. https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/customary-ihl/v1
Jews founded a state of their own in 1948. Forgiveness of others is independent of building a safe home for your people.
Something we can agree on.
Children suffer from all kinds of stupid decisions their parents made.
You’re on a soccer field and try to kick the ball into the goal, miss and hit a spectator. The goal was targeted, the spectator wasn’t.
The target was a Hezbollah member, the weapon was a pager bomb, the child is an innocent bystander hit by accident.
Would you care to elaborate?
Sure it can. Only people directly in contact with the pager were harmed. If a child holds it, then it is harmed.
The explosion only had a small area of lethal effect is what I’m saying. There are lots of videos of people close by the explosion being unaffected.
Nakba was in 1948. 1949-1967 Israel did not occupy the West Bank and Gaza. Why didn’t Palestinians establish a state then and there?
Hezbollah is a serious and well organized terrorist group. Their members will get in serious trouble if they just give away their on duty pager. These are not toys or handed out as such for fun. Who gets a pager is controlled and tracked by Hezbollah. They know about Israel’s intelligence and surveillance capabilities. Using pagers in the first place is a security measure.
Even in Lebanon smart phones are cheap and ubiquitous. Pagers are only useful for very niche use cases.
they knew was that they were likely to be physically near targets of interest.
Yes.
In short this is as indiscriminate as Russia’s use of cluster munitions on cities.
Ridiculous. A cluster munition covers a whole area with shrapnel indiscriminately. Tiny bombs carried by targets are a whole different category both as a weapon and effects wise.
We’d be starting WW 3 if hezbollah or hamas did this to Israel
Hamas has indiscriminately slaughtered civilians on October 7th and fires unguided rockets at inhabited areas. Hezbollah fires rockets into Israel constantly and indiscriminately, killing Druze children playing outside.
The whole reason Israel did this attack is because Hezbollah just doesn’t want to stop attacking Israeli civilians.
There’s no world war 3. Israel gets hated on and condemned every time they defend themselves against terrorists attacking their cities.
Killed on accident
Because people are ignorant about this conflict and like to always blame Israel for everything.
Members of Hezbollah endanger their families willingly.
No, Israel never acknowledges clandestine attacks like this.
Hezbollah has been firing rockets at Israel since the war in Gaza started. So yes, of course this is retribution.
Hezbollah could just chill and not attack Israel and this wouldn’t happen.
Pagers are usually carried by the owners, which in this case were Hezbollah combatants. So they knew where they were.
The chaos is intended. Collateral damage has no benefit.
Why was there no independent state of Palestine established in 1949-1967?
Parents, who are also combatants in terrorist militias, have a duty to not endanger their children by handing them tactical communications equipment.
