    It is absolutely terrorism. When the pagers went off most of the people hit by them were in plain clothes, including a child, people were just seeing other randomly exploding and are adding strain to hospitals. This is a terrorist attack.

      Yes, and when we bombed Germany in WW2 we killed hundreds of children. War is bad. Terrorism is bad. But they are different things.

          There is a difference between the actions in Gaza and the actions in Lebanon.

      Too early to tell, but likely not

      most of the people hit by them were in plain clothes

      oh good, if i find myself an active combatant in a war-zone i should just chuck on a t-shirt.

      including a child

      Regrettable but civilian casualties in a war-zone are inevitable

      people were just seeing other (presumably you meant to put “people” here) randomly exploding

      they weren’t randoms, at the moment it seems they were Hezbollah

      and are adding strain to hospitals

      That’ll happen when a large number of combatants are taken out at once

        There is no “war-zone”. There are no “combatants”.

        There’s just genocidal terrorists murdering civilians in several different states.
