Jonathan Joelson@gruber @pilky @morrick @louie Civilians died, including children. I don’t want to get into a semantic argument about what exactly constitutes “terrorism” but “this would make for a great movie” is incredibly poor taste as an immediate reaction.
And no, making a movie about a tragedy years later is not the same thing.
Miguel de Icaza ᯅ🍉@gruber @pilky @morrick @louie I will just leave here Daniel’s lucid response on a similar exchange:

@Migueldeicaza @gruber @pilky @morrick @louie Do you mind adding the links to the war crime analysis the comment says is linked?
@josephholsten @gruber @pilky @morrick @louie I don't have it, but will ask Daniel for it.
The other is a NY Times piece that I found by googling the name.

Or (Nathan) Israeli@stroughtonsmith @gruber @pilky @[email protected] @[email protected] Hamas & Hezbollah are a terrorist orgs, they specifically target Israeli civilians. Israel targets confirmed active terrorists.
Karl Karzelek@stroughtonsmith @gruber @pilky @morrick @louie then tell your mom she will be fine as long as she doesn’t work for a terrorist organization.
Cabel Sasser@gruber @pilky @morrick @louie When you said “movie” maybe you were imagining an 80’s Movie. Here in 2024 things are quite a bit less straightforward. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/09/19/israel-lebanon-pagers-attack-victims/
Dane Deasy@cabel @gruber @pilky @morrick @louie “Most of the 37 people killed are believed to have been fighters, based on death notices posted by the group. Two were children, according to Lebanon’s Health Ministry. Among the dead and the more than 3,000 injured, many blinded or maimed, were hospital workers, a shopkeeper, a car mechanic and a teacher — people who were not full-time militants but were connected to Hezbollah in other ways.”
Bobby Perrotti@cabel my family and I went to the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania (very fun!) today and I was bombarded by beautiful vintage logos. Check these out! rrmuseumpa.org

Jeroen@gruber @pilky @morrick @louie Man, how have you become like this… getting old surely is quite something. You were one of the best but in the past 8 years or so you’ve become a caricature of yourself.
Maybe you are bitter due to your growing irrelevance in the Apple scene or something?
How can you claim that a shipment of several thousands of pagers somehow all were in the hands of terrorists when they decided to detonate them? I do not understand how you can condone such a terrible act.
