Hostage users vs. Hostage killers, what a wonderful scenario the Middle East has gotten itself into this time. - Lemmy.World

What are you talking about? The beepers and radios were bought by Hezbollah, and went to Hezbollah members. They were surgical strikes.

Meanwhile, Lebanon is still firing rockets at Israel. The only reason that not more Israeli civilians are dead is because of the Iron Dome

Customary international humanitarian law prohibits the use of booby traps – objects that civilians are likely to be attracted to or are associated with normal civilian daily use – precisely to avoid putting civilians at grave risk

Fuck Isreal.

both in absolute terms and especially compared to continuing airstrikes, some with ai-cooked target list and including actual warcrime tactics, pagers were basically spotless in terms of targeting. the more likely illegal part was in booby-trapping pagers in the first place. westpoint lawyer take on the situation lieber.westpoint.edu/exploding-pagers-law/

“… basically spotless in terms of targeting” Ahh yes, hundreds of innocents dying is, “spotless”…

Tell me you don’t care about others’ lives AT ALL without telling me you do not care…

You are worse than a dumb animal if you think ANYTHING was spotless about yet another Israel war crime.

i’ll make it shorter for you if you don’t have attention span for a paragraph of text:

pagers are probably a war crime, but it’s relatively minor compared to airstrikes that happened since (and before)

Air strikes that were also often war crimes.
