Never ask how Israel gets away with state terror.
We can call it state terror, but an attack of this scale is an outright attack by Israel on Lebanon, which is arguably worse. Terror attacks target indiscriminately, this was intended for combatants (yes, civilians died, that’s why it’s worse).
Think about pearl harbor vs 9/11. Pearl harbor was a state attack by Japan on the U.S. using horrific means against a naval base. 9/11 targeted the planes and buildings, regardless of who was in them
Its not a secret that Iran has diplomatic relations with them is it? Same with hamas btw. How do you think they establish communications for holding ceasefire talks?
Or, y’know, that Iran (along with a couple others, like Syria) is a primary funder of Hezbollah. Could also be that
Hezbollah is the only thing stopping Israel from conquering Lebanon, if they need Iran’s help to stop Israel from invading and ethnically cleansing their land like they’re doing in Palestine, so be it.
Umm…just because the 2006 conflict was a stalemate, I wouldn’t bet on Hezbollah stopping a full Isreali invasion, especially if they are committed to the genocidal tactics they are using in Gaza. Iran would continue to remain relatively unbloodied and let their poxies die.
I’m still trying to understand why Hezbollah people were like
Thank you for this pager, stranger, I’ll use this without question for the next few months, and certainly not give it away or sell it or take it apart.
And why anyone thought that it’d go that way.
I’ll need to read more about it, maybe this is explained, but it seems like such a long shot
You need some sort of chain of trust to do anything big in the world. Im sure their hierarchies are pretty flat to keep the risk of infiltration low, but still, if you have a trusted source that supplies your equipment, then that can and will get compromised.
But like… A communication device seems like THE most suspicious equipment you can get. I’m shocked nobody verified, and I’m shocked that they had the audacity to even attempt.
Wrt giving/selling the pagers, well, I’ll have to read more to find out if that happened. It wouldn’t surprise me but also I imagine it’d be hard to find out.
They might have been checked at some stage, but if you have enough intel, you can figure out at which stage to insert the vulnerability. But i have seen lots of fun ideas on how this could be done. The fact that its apparently alkaline batteries, makes it interesting tho. Unless it was fake batteries with something inside them.
You could also try to make it so that the people who check the devices, only get to see good ones.
Finding out people’s salaries is a good thing. It’s how you prevent your bosses from screwing everyone over. Of course that information might be sensitive so don’t go around inquiring willy nilly, but it’s definitely a topic that you can and should sometimes visit.
(I know this is a s*** post so it’s all good but some people don’t realize the value in discussing salaries, and they think it’s something that has to be super secret when that only hurts you, the employee.)
Don’t ask his family at the funeral, anyway.
Like you could interrogate meat chunks.
