Terrorists being terrorized until more terrorists can terrorize the terrorizers.

Bibi and co need the endless cycle of hate and violence to go on so he can rob his own with impunity.

an 8-year-old girl and an 11-year-old boy are among the dead.

Great way to radicalize the next generation.

The pagers allegedly exploded their bombs by heating up the device. If this is similar Hezbollah should consider burning one piece of all of their electronics to see whether they explode.

As this story has developed it has become increasingly clear that this was a supply chain attack where explosives were inserted into the electronics

The shit the Mossad comes up with and pulls off would be impressive if it weren’t to serve an appartheit State.

It also helps they can ignore the fallout from blowing up stuff with total disregard for international law or basic morals

Terrorism.

These are extremely targeted attacks, not aimed at the wider population. It is meant to more than scare Hezbollah members for sure.

wildbus8979 ,

So would you say it’s using violence to instill terror and achieve political goals?

Terrorism, in its broadest sense, is the use of violence against non-combatants to achieve political or ideological aims.

Since this targets explicitly combatants, it’s not terrorism.

Different definitions of terrorism emphasize its randomness, its aim to instill fear, and its broader impact beyond its immediate victims

The attacks are extremely targeted, and thus not random at all. No terrorism.

wildbus8979 ,

Since this targets explicitly combatants

Hezbollah is, also, a political party. It’s military wing was formed to fight the 1982 Israeli invasion of Lebanon.

It is classified as a terrorist organisation by the majority of the international community. By legal definition, all Hezbollah members are terrorists regardless of what they do in the organisation, in the same way that all SS members are war criminals even if they were an office janitor or something, which makes them legitimate targets in a broader way than ordinary combatants who are bound and covered by the laws of war.

in the same way that all SS members are war criminals

That’s absolutely not how the nazis’ war crimes were handled post-war.
Only those with a direct active role and sufficient knowledge were charged in the post-war trials.
90+% of the SS members just went right back into their pre-war jobs.
(At least in the western part, the Soviets were much more…thorough in their de-nazification.)

Also, a janitor in a civilian building will never be an active combatant by any stretch of international law, no matter which organisation they belong to.

Do the confederates next, they were back in power in 10 years and terrorizing black people with the KKK shortly after.

pandapoo ,

I don’t know if you grew up during the color coded terror threat level days, but after updating everyone on the days terrorism threat color, the nightly news anchors would share how many terrorists were killed in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Even as a kid, I thought to myself, “how is everyone killed by coalition forces a terrorist?”

Or, “why are car bombs that kill coalition forces in theatre, called terror attacks?”

News flash, governments and media label all sorts of organizations and actions terrorism, 90% of it is propaganda, or bullshit.

Otherwise, I guess that would mean Ukrainian forces fighting Russians are also terrorists, which is how the Russian government and media refers to them.

From what I can tell online its militant wing predates the political wing. Just adding that in because I thought it might be the other way around based on your comment

Explicitly combatants… and anyone who happens to be in their vicinity when the bomb goes off.

“Extremely” targeted you say? So when they were detonated, the people doing the detonating had visual confirmation of the targets not being in close proximity to civilians?

nogooduser ,

the people doing the detonating had visual confirmation of the targets not being in close proximity to civilians

Or even had the pager at all instead of leaving it at home where their kids could get hold of it or a fire could be started.

Gerudo ,

The stuff is blowing up inside stores and buildings around innocent people. How is that targeted? Israel doesn’t give 2 shits about innocent people being injured and possibly killed.

oberstoffensichtlich ,
@oberstoffensichtlich@feddit.org avatar

How is this not super targeted? Hitting 3000 terrorists and and only a handful of civilians as collateral is exceptionally good. For you it’s probably bad anytime Israel kills one of their enemies.

So like killing a handful of Israeli civilians would be exceptionally good if the target was a bunch of IDF reservists?
