I don’t understand that interpretation. The original comment was:
Israel could have taken out entire hospital staffs with this “technique”. Hope they remain human and don’t.
To which macarthur_park replied:
Seems unlikely considering only pagers belonging to Hezbollah had the explosives added.
They do not think it’s likely that hospital staff, Hezbollah affiliated or not, could be in danger. I challenged that. I don’t think they were aware that Hezbollah had a civilian wing at all, and that many public sector workers are technically “Hezbollah-affiliated” due to the nature of the political situation there.
No one has suggested that in this comment chain.
Good, then we should all agree that this was a despicable attack on Israel’s part and this whole conversation is pointless.
They said “Seems unlikely [that pagers would be in the hands of doctors] considering only pagers belonging to Hezbollah had the explosives added.”
That article directly refutes that. It is heavily implied when you’re all saying “Hezbollah” you’re talking about militants. Again, it is unreasonable to suggest that workers, including doctors and nurses, that are part of the civilian arm of Hezbollah’s de facto government are fair targets in either morality or international law.
Hezbollah, the de facto government of large parts of Lebanon, ordered the pagers and widely distributed them. Many of them went to civilians for legitimate purposes. It’s unreasonable to suggest that these are fair targets because they were briefly in Hezbollah’s control at some point along the chain.
There isn’t one, because this is objectively not true.
Revoke his security clearance you cowards.
My grandfather drew a comic based on this joke in the late 60s, thanks for reminding of it!
I don’t think this would be getting around the clock coverage if it wasn’t for the first attempt
It’s so funny that the Republicans are suddenly very concerned about stochastic terrorism. Do they really want to open that can of worms?
Anyone can also use any exploits then find so you have to make sure you’re keeping up updating your devices. And every port you forward is an intrusion point into your network should someone want to hack you.
This is the part that scares the shit out of me. I bought a domain with the intention of making a little web 1.0 website for fun and to learn, but I have no real idea what I’m doing and the security risk makes it a non-starter :(
Yeah how are those ceasefire talks going?
There are a ton of things the US could do than just providing unconditional military aid to be used on Palestinian civilians that doesn’t result in Iran invading. At the absolute bare minimum enforce their own “red lines.” Precision strike weapons are pointless if they’re just used for indescriminate bombing.
You’re talking down to me as if you know the objective facts, but there are in fact things the US could do to stop this that they are actively choosing not to do. There are more conditions on weapons going to Ukraine than to Israel. It’s disgusting and apologists for it are disgusting.
What kind of argument is this? “We gotta keep supporting genocide, or there will be more genocide” You aren’t paying attention if you don’t think this situation is horrendously bad and the people supporting it are monsters.
Anyway, here’s a picture of a US supplied bomb that killed 45 people at a refugee camp in Rafah.
Undecided voters don’t matter in this election. There’s so few of them, and most of them are just people who are too scared to say they support Trump.
This election will be decided by turnout.
Yeah man, being rude to a public servant justifies being torn out of your car, slammed into the pavement and placed in handcuffs. Fuck right off.
I think he heard, he was just ignoring it. Snowballs chance in hell he would apologize, he wouldnt even acknowledge that they were innocent
What about the people with principles that remember the hundreds of thousands of Iraqis that died in the Iraq War that Dick is directly responsible for? Its fucking gross
There’s a ton of other Republicans they could’ve name dropped other than goddamn Dick Cheney. I think even most Republicans hate him.
I don’t think those people have put much thought into how much thought into the logistics on how that would happen, and that number would drop significantly if they did. This is what the Democrats should be messaging.
Americans are pretty ideologically incoherent anyway. I’m pretty sure a majority supports granting amnesty to some or all illegal immigrants.
