Hezbollah are enemy combatants. These were ordered by and for Hezbollah. Israel isn’t targeting non-combatants.

Israel isn’t targeting non-combatants

How many thousands of children have been slaughtered by Israeli troops?

If you want to be pedantic, and you’re talking only about this specific attack, children were killed in these pager/walkie-talkie blasts too. Are they enemy combatants to you?

Don’t be a genocide apologist.

They verified that all of the devices were in the possession of Hezbollah before they detonated them?

Is what why their pager terrorism killed a child and caused 2000+ injuries, including dismemberment of other children?

Now they just repeated it, I’m sure with the same disregard for living people they have already shown.

What do you think about Hezbollah reopening the hostilities back in October? Do you believe they could have prevented all this bloodshed if they just kept the border in peace?

What do you think about Israel never ceasing hostilities?

For real, read a book every once in awhile.

Peace was never part of the plan for colonial genocide. Have you ever seen the zio genocide map? They’re planning on invading every neighboring state, stealing the land, and continuing with genocide.

Why steal just one state when you can steal the whole region? It’s what god wants his chosen people to do. smh.

Doesn’t really matter if they weren’t targeted if they still ended up dead.

Hezbollah is a political party as well as a paramilitary group. What if Canada did this to The Oath Keepers or CSPOA or The Proud Boys or another group in the US? They’re all objectively bad people, buy only a few have committed terrorist attacks. Do they all and the people who happen to be around them deserve to die by a foreign government’s actions?

Not the point. They’re a paramilitary terrorist organisation that has been denounced by Canada in the past.

But OK then Mexico or China, they preach the destruction of Mexico and China pretty often. And many of their terror attacks have been against people of Mexican and Asian descent. But again, not the point.

So, like, are Israeli reservists fair game for terror attacks?

If they’re on active duty, they’re legitimate military targets. If they’re on inactive duty, they’re considered civilians.

But if they are active duty and have military comms, it’s just called an “attack”, not a “terror attack”, even if the attackers are otherwise terrorists.

And your evidence that Israel only targetted active duty Hezbollah combattants?

You know you can just not type right? These thoughts that just stream into your head, they don’t need to be shared. You can also read sources and understand that “military comms” can’t accurately be targeted by this attack because of the very nature of radio. Nobody is logging into a badguy frequency and being targeted and identified. Thats not how any of this could possibly work.

Thats bullshit. From what I gather these pagers went out a long time ago, and Isntreal has no way of knowing who is around them when they explode.

Out of the (I’m going to guess) 10,000 people maimed, dismembered, or injured in these two terrorists attacks, how many of them were innocent children and complete bystanders? Isntreal might not be targeting noncombatants, but its sure as fuck killing them, maiming them, and just generally ruining their lives. And its that indiscretion and complete lack of concern that is morally repugnant.

Fuck Isreal.
