Terrorism is illegitimate. Fear is only a small part of one definition of the term.

This was an attack by military on military. They were using the pagers to coordinate the rocket attacks against Israel that they e been launching lately.

Sorry I was being vague. Its an attack meant to cause terror in the civilian population as well. Its considered indiscriminate because while they knew who had the pagers at a point in time, when they did decide to blow them they couldnt know who would be hurt. In my opinion thats a line too far to cross.

It might also have to do with the fact that I consider people who are fighting in their own land to be both civilians and militants. Thats besides the actual civilians, if its even possible to live in some of these areas and truly avoid contact with “bad people”.

I don’t buy all this eye for an eye stuff going around, people are shit judges of themselves let alone other people.
