    Hezbollah are enemy combatants. These were ordered by and for Hezbollah. Israel isn’t targeting non-combatants.

      Hezbollah is a political party as well as a paramilitary group. What if Canada did this to The Oath Keepers or CSPOA or The Proud Boys or another group in the US? They’re all objectively bad people, buy only a few have committed terrorist attacks. Do they all and the people who happen to be around them deserve to die by a foreign government’s actions?

          Not the point. They’re a paramilitary terrorist organisation that has been denounced by Canada in the past.

          But OK then Mexico or China, they preach the destruction of Mexico and China pretty often. And many of their terror attacks have been against people of Mexican and Asian descent. But again, not the point.

              Google it. These groups were attacking Asians (not even Chinese because they don’t know the difference) during COVID because Trump said they were responsible for it and/or made it up to allow the government to inject microchips and/or transgender inducing substances and all the other conspiracies. And these groups are highly anti-immigrant and are constantly attacking people they consider “Mexican” and supported calls by Trump and far-right pundits to bomb Mexico to reduce immigration and cartel crime. But again this is off subject as this is an example of what a similar attack on the a US extremist group by a foreign country would be like.

              These are extremist paramilitary groups just like Hezbollah. But they still don’t deserve to have their families killed by bombs put in their products by foreign governments.

                  Once again, the type of weapons they use is irrelevant to using them as an example of terrorist/political groups being targeted by an indiscriminate terror attack from a foreign government. Your apologist attitude towards them is exactly why they get a free pass to murder and incite others to murder just because some other group uses bigger guns than them to once in a while murder an overall fewer amount of people per member of their own organization. So if you’re incapable of understanding the implications of government sponsored terrorism in a foreign land just because the people use rockets instead of rifles and media pundits as their weapons, I suppose it’s futile to continue.

      Thats bullshit. From what I gather these pagers went out a long time ago, and Isntreal has no way of knowing who is around them when they explode.

      Out of the (I’m going to guess) 10,000 people maimed, dismembered, or injured in these two terrorists attacks, how many of them were innocent children and complete bystanders? Isntreal might not be targeting noncombatants, but its sure as fuck killing them, maiming them, and just generally ruining their lives. And its that indiscretion and complete lack of concern that is morally repugnant.

      Fuck Isreal.

      How many thousands of children have been slaughtered by Israeli troops?

      If you want to be pedantic, and you’re talking only about this specific attack, children were killed in these pager/walkie-talkie blasts too. Are they enemy combatants to you?

      Don’t be a genocide apologist.

      They verified that all of the devices were in the possession of Hezbollah before they detonated them?

      Is what why their pager terrorism killed a child and caused 2000+ injuries, including dismemberment of other children?

      Now they just repeated it, I’m sure with the same disregard for living people they have already shown.

        What do you think about Hezbollah reopening the hostilities back in October? Do you believe they could have prevented all this bloodshed if they just kept the border in peace?

            It’s whataboutism to say someone shouldn’t have started the fight in the first place?

          What do you think about Israel never ceasing hostilities?

          For real, read a book every once in awhile.

              Zios were murdering palestinians at record rates well before they started full genocide 1, 2.

              People inside the imperial core are generally completely ignorant and brainwashed about the reality of zionist genocide.

                Ah, yes. History started in '22.

                You sound like you’re ready to shoot every ‘zio’ they put in front of you, no questions asked

              No they didn’t. They very specifically never stopped actions in countries they aren’t at war with and notably as the article states THEY WERE PLANTING BOMBS IN CIVILIAN ITEMS again in countries they aren’t at war with.

                These bomb-planting shenanigans only began after Hezbollah restarted the hostilities

                Also, why do you consider devices used for military communications as civilian items (in all caps no less)

                  This is the second round of bombings with seemingly benign objects.

                  They are quite literally bought OTC they are in fact civilian objects, that’s why terrorists use them…

                  Seriously, a book… once.

                    These weren’t bought ‘over the counter’, these were bought en masse from the producer and specifically meant for military use
