Here’s an example of how targeted the strike was, despite literally going off in a crowd - nobody hurt but the intended target, no harm whatsoever beyond two feet. Doesn’t even bruise an apple

That particular pager was in a bag, against a person, pointed away from anyone or anything else. Not to mention anything of the second attack, which used much larger charges and started fires and blew out windows across Lebanon.

And anyway, a single example isn't going to assuage anyone who has been reading reports of women and children dying from the attack.

They're also ignoring the literal terror being experienced by civilians who witnessed people's legs and faces being blown off in public.

That's terrorism.

Where else would you carry a pager? You have to feel it when it vibrates.

Well, I’m sorry to hear that Lebanon’s glazers just got several months of guaranteed work, I guess, but I’m otherwise not sure why this is relevant.

What reports?

Because you were claiming the explosions were too small to "bruise and apple"

What reports?

Literally any reports on the subject

Because you were claiming the explosions were too small to "bruise and apple"

ok, and how is that refuted by the physical description of an ambulance?

What the fuck are you smoking

You posted a description of an ambulance, down to the color of its lights and the presence of people standing nearby looking on.

What was the relevance of that?

The mental gymnastics people will do to defend literal state sponsored terrorism.

And don't waste your time, I actually know what those words mean.

Yes, it’s pretty shocking how people have come out in support of an Iranian-funded terrorist group that has killed women, children, and a hundred Americans

As opposed to the American-funded terrorist state that has killed women, children and a couple thousands of Palestinian civilians?
