I know nothing should surprise me with these fucking people at this point, but my mouth still dropped open when I read that.

    What? That’s the one that surprises you? They’ve killed more children on the average day post-invasion.

      If you don’t understand why politicians celebrating the deaths of children out in the open surprises me more than their killing children, you have a very different opinion of which of those two is far more common than I do.

        Did he say it was specifically about the children, though? The pager attack mostly killed it’s intended targets by all appearances.

    Even if the genocide ended tomorrow, I’m just never buying Israeli electronics again. I’ve been boycotting Sony all this time for a mere rootkit.

    If you haven’t already, you should boycott people who booby-trap their products.

    The “pager attack” killed 42 people, including two children and two healthcare workers, while wounding another 2,800 people. The attacks targeted public areas, including cars, streets, and supermarkets, and many of the wounded suffered eye, hand, and brain injuries. Many survivors needed surgery, and some victims went blind or had to have their limbs amputated. One of the attacks killed an 11-year-old boy and an 8-year-old girl, along with a nurse. At a funeral for some victims, another electronic device attack was carried out by Israel, wounding more people. It’s unknown how many Hezbollah operatives the attack actually killed.

    “That was a great operation,” Trump reportedly told Netanyahu, after being given the morbid gift.

    I can not believe this man was voted in. I can not believe this time line is real.

      He wasn’t voted in. Elon manipulated the voting system for trumps gain. Trump even said it himself “Elon knows voting machines”. They have taken over our country and are dismantling it piece by piece. The question is, how do we stop these fucks?

      You should see the hasbarists that tried to tell me that the operation was highly successful since it killed the children of Hezbollah operators, and that was its intended victims. Basically these people consider children to be very valid and normal targets to the point that you are a fool for thinking it is wrong.

      In all honesty at that point I am actually surprised at the restraint that Hamas and everyone else has had on them. Iran and even the Houthis defeated Israel’s Iron Dome and David’s Sling so many times it isn’t funny, but they still act like it is some impenetrable forcefield that has never been defeated. Also all of the targets by Hezbollah and Iran have been purely military targets or symbolic while also pulling some major punches, while Israel targets civilians with wanton abandon and with the intent to do as much damage as possible to civilians and civilian infrastructure.

      When Israel did get (mostly warhead-less) missiles launched at it, they expressed shock and acted as if Iran was some idiotic child-like state that did not understand that these are weapons that could hurt people. In the meantime they revel in the murder of children and civilians and even when releasing hostages as a part of their deal, they open fire at their buses.

      And Israel has always been like this. It isn’t new.

        This is such a strange take, but a popular one among Americans it seems. There are many more elements to why Trump is president, structural incentives especially money in politics and the specific democratic process that involves the Electoral College, districts etc. I’m not American yet even I know about these… don’t you guys? It’s sad because it seems like you guys are fucked, and have no idea what you did wrong. The burgler is in the house and you all are trying to wrestle down a potted plant.

        It’s also absurd because the US markets itself as the world leader of democracy, but Democratic voters are saying, “Why didn’t you vote with the Party? You shouldn’t have exercised democracy!”

        I know you don’t speak for all Americans, but maybe you can shed some light on this.

          but Democratic voters are saying, “Why didn’t you vote with the Party? You shouldn’t have exercised democracy!”

          Criticizing somebody’s choice implies that they had a choice to make and exercised it, not that they didn’t or shouldn’t have had the choice. Hell, the people that voted FOR this shit also exercised democracy in doing so.

          If it was only America that was fucked it wouldn’t be such a big deal, America deserves it.

          Unfortunately the election consequences also mean America is locking in accelerating climate change, which is going to hurt the poorest countries the most.

          America and the other richest countries have the best means to mitigate the damage. American homes come with heating and AC standard.

          In the most marginalized communities in the world climate change is going to turn into climate genocide.

          Do you think maybe there are multiple reasons why Trump is president and one of them could possibly be because far more people sat out the election than could have swung it against him?

          Also, you shouldn’t vote with the party. You should vote against the fascist. I have no idea why that is confusing to you unless you vote for fascists.

    IF they had verified each individual target before detonating it could have been the single operation with the highest success rate for hitting actual militants and the lowest civillian casualties out of everything Israel has done lately, but instead they just detonated like a thousand pagers and pissed off Lebanon immediately after a US Diplomat came by to criticize them for escalating tensions in Lebanon.

    Actually, it still might be. Pretty low bar.

    I wonder if Trump’s Gold Apollo will blow up, too.

    Imagine the outrage if a world leader gifted another leader a golden model airplane after 9/11.

    Insanity.
