These bomb-planting shenanigans only began after Hezbollah restarted the hostilities

Also, why do you consider devices used for military communications as civilian items (in all caps no less)

This is the second round of bombings with seemingly benign objects.

They are quite literally bought OTC they are in fact civilian objects, that's why terrorists use them....

Seriously, a book.. once.

These weren't bought 'over the counter', these were bought en masse from the producer and specifically meant for military use

You're fucking dumb there's thirty on eBay and more on Amazon, it's literally an OTC open band civilian tx/tx device. It's even in their fucking wiki and they released a press release about it. Jfc, just use Google dude.

What's next you think they were targeting people with "military grade beepers?"

Legit a book, once ever.

Ed: they weren't purchased by the manufacturer, icon even has to come out prior to the bobbing and say they believe there were counterfeit ones or there and it turns out the isrealis made them.

You seem very, very focused on this 'read a book' thing. Feel free to elaborate how you think that relates

OT: they were pagers meant for military use. It seems that the devices that exploded were exclusively in the possession of people working for Hezbollah. Implying that the Mossad put bombs in devices that innocent people could buy on eBay or Amazon is a complete fabrication or, at best, completely delusional

Books educate, you need education. Pick a subject, start reading.

That's not at all proven and the 2800 injured seems pretty high to all be Hezbollah huh?

I didn't imply that at all, again there's that reading thing again boss.

In this instance just read the fixing article and that alone should dissuade you from this stupid easily proved wrong goddamn stance. Just read the article, once or in your case probably twice or more.

I'll drop the 'read books' thing, that doesn't seem to go anywhere

That’s not at all proven

If you have any information on people getting blown up by pagers they bought online, please share. I just read (sorry) in an article that the Mossad had been running the factory where Hezbollah ordered theirs for at least two years, apparently shipping out loads of 'normal' versions to keep the cover going strong.

and the 2800 injured seems pretty high to all be Hezbollah huh?

Why would that seem high to you?

Ok fair, read the article. Let's start there and move onto books without pictures.

Again. Read. The. Article. Similarly that applies to your claim they only ended up with Hezbollah, as that has no proof and Israel at this point isn't even claiming it. So ..

Are you serious? Read the article, it includes bystanders dipshit.

Ok, ok, I concede

I'll read the article. There is, after all, only one article on this issue and I have refused to read it until you convinced me. I'm sure it'll show you were right all al... Oh wait. What? What is this?

blew up thousands of two-way personal radios used by Hezbollah members in Lebanon

he walkie-talkies were booby-trapped in advance by Israeli intelligence services and then delivered to Hezbollah as part of the militia's emergency communications system

Now you wait just one minute, you little rascal! Have you been posing as the patsy all this time just to discredit the real buffoons in this thread? I must say you had me fooled there for a while 😀

Well played, sir. Well played

It does, we agree.

Two unsubstantiated claims.

Notably none of your claims were proven and in fact the article consists only of refutations of your dipshit positions and straight up goddamn lies.

Sarcasm, of course your an idiot and a confident one at that jfc, read a book.

You are a beautiful person, and you are loved

You're full of shit and playing the moderate now isn't going to get you anywhere ya Zionist fuckwit.
