Walkie talkies now exploding in Lebanon, this gets better and better. No need to bomb them back to the stone age, this will get them there in short order.  Microwaves and Air Fryers next?

Long ago I heard Arafat preaching the economy of scale of their genocide; this was direct from his mouth on a television interview:

we blow up a school bus and kill 40 Jewish children today -- twenty years on each of those would be an adult and producing at least 2 more Jews, so in affect we are killing 120 of them.

 

This was in the 1960s or '70s.  After hearing such logic I decided anything goes in combating this kind of thinking and its actions.  BY ANYONE.

This was, by definition, a terrorist act. But for some reason, terrorism is acceptable when it is committed by Jews.

You might want to check your source for that article.  The writer is on the lunatic political fringe and hates both the U. S. and Israel.

 

What definition of terrorism are you using?  No universally accepted definition exists, although the U.N. has been trying to formulate one for years. The problem is, was and always will be that one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.  It may be possible to formulate an objective definition of terrorism, but deciding exactly who is a terrorist will always be subjective and entirely dependent  on how you feel about the person, group or nation that commits the act.  

 

In WWII, the German government considered the resistance groups in the occupied countries to be terrorists, while the Allies regarded them as freedom fighters.  When German partisans used the same tactics against Allied occupaion forces as  French, Greek, Norwegian etc. resistance groups had, the Germans were deemed terrorists and often executed when caught.

 

It's truly a case of "same-same but different" when it comes to Israel's battle for survival against Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran.  Those who support or at least sympathize with Hezbollah and Iran will consider the pager and walkie-talkie attacks as terrorism, while Israel's supporters will consider it a legitimate means to take out terrorist operatives and thereby protect Israeli citizens.

I think you will find many who are critical of Israeli actions in Gaza and the west bank will be supportive of this, very targeted, operation.

Israel is shutting down electronic communications amongst/between their terrorist enemies.

 

Good move - they will be reduced to land lines (traceable and can be listened in on), written messages and couriers ( again can be intercepted and reveal locations, and face to face meetings, aka targets.

And its now over 40,000 civilians killed already in Gaza?  Why dont you tell us again next week, and the week after but in reality do sweet feck all!  I bet it would be different scenario completely if it was 40,000 Israelis or Americans killed.

 

   Why you keep writing this nonsense ?

You must know that its untrue by now , not even Hamas claim that 40 000 civilians have been killed in Gaza and they are well known for telling lies .

   Why do you keep  writing things that are not true ?

Not only that , its off topic as well .

this is not international terrorism by the lovely state of israel?

Of course not. Tell me, who actually was given the pagers, and by whom?  Not like they were handed out at a Christmas charity event.  They were purchased by terrorists for terrorists.  Also, what a lovely way for Mossad to roll up the entire terror network.  Just look at whose nuts exploded yesterday, and work from there.

This could be a possible intelligence activity coup as well.  By knowing who was killed/injured by the exploding devices and working out who those people associate with, new, unknown participants of unknown hezbollah networks could be found out.  Working out who was injured, who they associated with, who those people associated with, etc. 

 

For example, the iranian ambassador mojtaba amani was also injured by an exploding pager, a probable known participant in hezbollah planning.   I am guessing that he had a pager so he could follow along with what those having been issued the pagers by the hezbollah government/military, were doing or planning.   

 

e.g. A page saying,  Intell meeting at azar's house 7 pm.   mojtaba amani would then attend the meeting and provide feedback to the iranian government/military about what kind of attack or activity hezbollah was planning against Israel. 

 

I used to do that kind of investigation when I was working.   Knowing the target of an investigation, finding out who they worked for, who their friends were, where they traveled to, what activities they participated in, who else participated in those activities, etc.
